Colors, landscapes and animals of Namibia https://journals.worldnomads.com/namibia/ Sun, 5 Apr 2026 02:29:39 GMT World Nomads Adventures My theme is the colours, landscapes and animals of Namibia. My photographs: • are less busy in composition, they represent the sparseness of the Namibian desert • convey temperature of the environment through colour • demonstrate the inquisitive and aggressive nature of the native animals. Why do I want to win ? • develop my technique • convey feelings, information (e.g. sustainable environment), provoke emotions in the viewer • raise awareness • experience the people and culture of Bhutan. Why do I want to be a photographer ? Through photography I share my experiences with others. I appreciate feedback, I understand what people like and where I can improve. When travelling I used to take 1 photograph per day, now I capture 300+ shots. It is my job to explore and absorb as much of a country as I can. When I return home and review my photographs, I am immediately taken back to the instant captured. Its like re-living my adventures all over. Who am I ? • 37 year old Civil Engineer who has travelled to 40+ countries • Seeking a career change to fuel my passion for photography, travel and surfing • Self taught photographer who gained knowledge through books, trial and error. What do I want to learn from the scholarship ? • Address gaps I have in technique • Look at things differently • Observe a professional so I can learn tricks and techniques to improve my approach • Understand preparation requirements to optimise capture • Understand how to use what equipment in which environment to achieve the best effect. Where do I want my photography to go into the future ? • technically proficient, renown travel and wildlife photographer • explore and document the world using photography as the medium to share my experiences with others. https://journals.worldnomads.com/namibia/photos/25134/Worldwide/My-Photo-scholarship-2010-entry Travel Worldwide namibia https://journals.worldnomads.com/namibia/photos/25134/Worldwide/My-Photo-scholarship-2010-entry#comments https://journals.worldnomads.com/namibia/photos/25134/Worldwide/My-Photo-scholarship-2010-entry Thu, 14 Oct 2010 13:26:00 GMT 0
