The rainy weather in Johannesburg was chasing me away. I decided to go to the Golden Gate National Park. On my previous visit to South Africa I had collected a couple of brochures of this park and had decided it would be a must to see on another trip. The park boasts beautiful landscapes which are a must for anyone wanting to learn how to shoot landscapes. The views are incredible.
I have done a couple of panoramic shots here. The cloudy weather also offering some challenges, at times I have had to wait up to 30 minutes to take a single picture. One thing that I have discovered about this area is that it can get rather cold, so you would need to go prepared for anything, including cold weather in the middle of summer. I have taken the shots of Golden Gate National Park and the surrounding areas using my Canon EOS1DS Mark3 with 24-70 2.8L and 70-200 2.8LIS Canon zooms. I have visited the small town of Clarens which is a short distance from the park.
The town is an artist’s paradise. There are several art galleries and the town is rather touristic. The roads to the town are extremely scenic and I have spent a lot of time shooting these views. I do have to mention that I spent a couple of nights at Jastelle Self Catering Cottages, where you will find the accommodation to your satisfaction, with the three well maintained cottages. There is space for campers here aswell.
