Beach people photographs, from our March 2025 trip to Cape Town.



The first set are from Fish Hoek beach in the southern Cape. This a favourite location for local families as it is on the Indian Ocean side of the peninsula, and the water is warm. It also has a great beachside cafe, and always an colourful array of people of every shade and age.



The second set was taken at Glencairn beach a bit farther down the peninsula. This is a popular surfing location, and close to my all-time favourite coastal breakfast cafe and restaurant. On this occasion there was a windsurfer absolutely flying up and down the coast. I had my birds in flight kit with me, and I thought that it might be interesting to use BIF techniques to capture the motion. It turned out quite well, and I think I caught her absolute joy and the drama of the scene.
