Cape Town Long Exposure Photography

Long exposure photography from the Cape Peninsula, taken mostly in Simons Town and Noordhoek. Simons Town’s remarkable granite boulders look particularly fine in the early eastern light, while Noordhoek’s vast beach offers expansive long exposure opportunities at dawn.

Photographs in this album include: In Twain, Taking the sun, The soldiers salute the dawn, Lighting up the pool, Blue and Gold, Noordhoek Beach Dawn, and Double sunset.
