PHOTOGRAPHER AT WORK Nastar captures mood of wynberg at newland gala

Members of the photography society work hard to develop their skills as photojournalists.

Capturing moments in the moment takes a special kind of observer.

It is said that photojournalists have to be patient ...

and spend just as much time observing as taking pictures.

It is also said that the very best of them have incredible reflexes

and seem to know just when to click.

However, if you look at these photographs, there is more to it than this:

They reveal an ability not only to know intuitively when to click, but also how to frame the shot

where the light will hit, and which angle works best...

It’s all these conscious and subconscious details and decisions that make it more than just a photograph and elevate it to art.

Nastar Abdulla, on duty for Wynberg at the Newlands Gala held on 3 March.
