This is Digital Darkroom Derby #96, a digital image editing/processing challenge.
Please read the rules here. Short version: Host provides the challenge image and selects the winner, who then becomes the next host.
The advantages of taking photos in raw format........
I was born and brought up in South Africa. I left in February 1994, expecting that I would never return. But I reckoned without the persuasive capabilities of some old schoolmates who decided to stage a 40th Anniversary of the 1972 Matriculation Class Reunion back at the old school in Sandton, north of Johannesburg, in late November 2012. I decided that I would attend and also would use this opportunity to revisit some of my old stomping grounds (and some that I had missed too).
I flew from Brisbane to Singapore to Cape Town, hired a car in Cape Town, toured the Western Cape, before driving along the Garden Route to Port Elizabeth and Kenton-on-Sea, before turning north towards Johannesburg. I had visited the Karoo town of Graaff-Reinet on numerous occasions. - It was here that I remember my mother getting her first speeding fine of 40 mph in a 35 mph zone.
(South Africa went metric in 1970.) I spent a couple of days there in a B&B and went up and wandered around taking in the views of the Valley of Desolation. The owner of the B&B suggested that I pay a visit to the quaint little town of Nieu-Bethesda, about 50km north of Graaff-Reinet.
I wandered off to Nieu-Bethesda, getting there just before midday. I saw a sign for the "The Brewery and Two Goats Deli - Local Beer and Cheese" and decided that would be an interesting place to have lunch. So I ordered a platter of local produce and a glass of the local beer:
The JPEG and raw files are here: DDD #96. It will be interesting to see what you can make of my lunch of local produce.
This challenge will close at 6am Brisbane local time (GMT +10h) on Tuesday, 7th February. Have fun!
