Ilze Louw Photography Nature Art Photography Capturing the normal, everyday moments that we forget so easily is my biggest aim and I get excited by it.

It's magic to see a photo and remembering that particular day and moment and feeling! I LOVE photography, I get excited when I have my camera in my hand! I love being creative and capturing moments in time. When I'm behind my lens, I forget about time and pour my everything into capturing the perfect photo!

Every year when my roses start to bloom after I've pruned them to little sticks during winter I am in awe of Nature and Life.

That's true for us as well ~ sometimes we've been pruned and our parts feel exposed and raw, yet at some point life starts to move beneath the surface of our being and we start to show signs of new growth.

And before long, buds and blooms and fruits are growing again.

These photos are freelensed photos I took of one of my roses early one morning. Freelensing is when you take the lens off the camera and hold it free just in front of the camera and then you can take macro (very close up) photos (without a macro lens) and get these beautiful dreamy effects.

"Going outside just to see the moon and stars is always a good idea!"

This was done with portrait camera gear, not at all the gear the pro photographers use to capture nature and the cosmos, but this was great fun for me, loosing myself for more than an hour in the dark trying to capture the full bloodmoon eclipse last night, tapping into my photography and camera gear knowledge again haha 😁😆 Still remember it all, and still have the patience and creative urge to allow the process to happen.

Ek is bevoorreg om Maandag te open met 'n praatjie oor 'Die Kuns van Waarneen', by die blommeskou-kunsuitstalling van die Kunshuis Clanwilliam.

Ek werk aan 'n aanbieding van my eie werke (foto hieronder onder andere), en my natuurkuns fotografie.

Ons hoop om eersdaags iets nuuts te begin hier in ons mooi dorp en omgewing; fotografie-klasse, kunsklasse, foto-uitstappies en vele ander idees... ~ en die kuns van waarneem (to see in a new way) in meer wakker te maak!

"Where flowers bloom
so does hope..."

It's flower season in the Cederberg and the wild beauty of nature never ceases to amaze me.

When little D was small I was still a full time photographer so naturally I took 1000000s of photos of him...

Lisa doesn't have as much photos, BUT she loves a photo taking opportunity, so that means when I do take photos of her it's a mini shoot with poses and all 😆

And our beautiful natural w**d garden makes the best photos and flower pickings!

Where the bluebirds call,
and the sunbeams fall,
and the daisies lure
the soul to be pure.
~ Alexander Posey

The sporries (Heliophila coronopifolia) are flowering in abundance all along the gravel roads after the rains last week, and they called me to show their beauty. 💜💙

The word photography is derived from the Greek word “photos,” meaning light, and “graphos,” meaning drawing.

This is what these photos are to me, I am drawing with Light 💛
