THE FUN!

One of the great things

about photography is

being able to share your

view of the world. Take a

ride on the wild side with

some striking automobile

shots. Then slow things

down with some ethereal

black-and-white images.

We want your photos

and stories! For your

chance to show off your

images in PhotoPlus, send

three to five high-resolution

JPEGs, along with a brief

synopsis – explain why you

took the shots, the location,

whether they’re part of an

ongoing project or a one-off

shoot, and anything else

unusual or interesting. Also

include Canon DSLR, lens

and exposure details.

in 2008 at the annual Canon

Roadshow in South Africa. I’ll

never forget the moment one

of the speakers told us, “folks,

don’t be scared to push these

cameras!” It stuck with me

when I switched to a Canon

EOS 1100D, still an entry-level

camera, but I was dying to see

just how far it could be pushed

and how capable it really was.

So, in 2016 I started doing

a few corporate functions and

portraits to make some money

on the side, and in 2017 the

car photography bug bit me

when I went to the Kyalami

Grand Prix Circuit for a track

day. The little 1100D

performed really well being
