A beautiful mid-winter sunset sky, shot from our balcony on Saturday 16th July. Part of a longer series I’m shooting in and around Sea Point, Cape Town that I hope will see the light of day at some point…

Very much experimental, and lots still to learn, but if you are interested in the setup:

• Canon 7D with Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8 L.
• Shot at f/2.8 Aperture Priority with a 6 second interval between shots. 817 photos – until the shutter speed > longer than the time interval, and it shutdown…
• GBDeflicker used in After Effects to help with perceptible brightness fluctuations.
• Photo-JPEG Compression.
• iMovie for sound and titles.

It is now available on the site.

I love the concept of this site and have spent the last couple days listening to music that inspires other designers!



The Lorem & Icsum design.

My album cover and title “Lorem & Icsum” is a play on the dummy text we often use when mocking up page layouts. The design hopefully encapsulates the style of music.

Enjoy.

Ours being my wife, Xenia and cousin Hugh. African Cartel hopes to be a market place for African Artists – discovering, showcasing and marketing their work and biography to a global market.

We launch with a feature on the Robot Artists, watch the short film to find out more about this creative, humble bunch of mainly Zimbabwean artists.

The site built on top of the powerful content builder and Listings directory theme of WooThemes, with Cart66 integration. More on this to follow soon.
