SA Rocks

I have decided that it’s come to the point in the SA Rocks flickr group that the photographers need to be rewarded! We have loads and loads of incredible photographs.

I am going to try my hardest to provide as many of the photographers with exposure here as possible! I will link back to all of their websites/blogs/flickr accounts where I can. For now, let’s get going!

I’m going to start with Coda simply because he was one of the first and most active contributors in the SA Rocks photo-pool. Let’s not be too wordy about this all and simply let Coda’s work and words tell you more about him:

My journey into digital photography began 7 years ago, and I’ve have had a camera attached to my hip ever since. I’d best describe myself as a nature & landscape photographer: the result of growing up with a passion for the outdoors, Cape Town as my playground, and the luxury to travel around a region as beautiful and culturally diverse as Southern Africa.

I like to think that the phrase “Ready, fire, aim!” best describes the way that I approach my every day photography: with reckless abandon! Otherwise I make time to visualise a photo before I take it, which I learnt as a web designer during the initial design process. I also enjoy shooting panoramas, street art, live bands and night photography, while aspiring to the underwater and aerial fields. So it’s a big part of my life, but no more than a hobby and creative outlet. And for that reason the majority of my photos are freely available to share and remix for noncommercial purposes.

I first joined Flickr to easily photoblog a backpacking trip around Western Europe, but became addicted shortly afterwards and created my first group, for Cape Town. Three years later, I now administer 15 groups and have uploaded over 3,700 photos across 60 sets. When I’m not uploading or geo-tagging my own photos, then I’m commenting on or favouriting others. Needless to say I spend more time on Flickr than I probably should, but the feedback and inspiration I receive in return is enough motivation to continue. I also use Flickr to network and exchange ideas with other photographers (via meetups), to host a showcase of my design work, and to share my personal experiences on the web via screen shots.

My current equipment includes a Canon G7 compact, a cameraphone, Photoshop, AutoStitch for panos, and an eye for seeing everything as a potential photograph!”

I am personally enthralled by coda’s point, shoot, ask questions later approach to photography. I love watching my feed when his photos appear in the SA Rocks group! Thanks for your participation coda and may your lens never get scratched!
