Photo A Day » A Photo a day - The photo life of Emma Booysen

Today was the first real sunset in Phuket since we arrived. It was a beautiful display of colors.

Bangla road in Patong, Phuket has many entertainers, such as this lady boy.

I have done some photos to play with composite ideas. This was one of my creations from previous posts.

As it rainy season in Phuket, dramatic clouds and a rain storm a different landscape from the normal colorful sunsets.

As we were approaching Phuket, Thailand, all these small islands were visible from the plane.

We also got the chance to do a bit of exercise by playing badminton against some of the local Singaporean and I got the opportunity to do a bit of sport photography by capturing Werner in action.

The Singapore Art Museum is close by the hotel we stayed in. The doors and pillars have interesting lines.

We started our holiday by flying via Dubai. This was just as we entered the airport taken from the plane.

From time to time I get the opportunity to photograph some guest houses. This one is Milner Manor in Bloemfontein. As the moon was a bit fuller, it lit up the clouds.

Cape Town is well known for Table Mountain. I was a bit early to capture night scapes, so I got the chance to do some sunset shots as well as night scape shots with the mountain.

I would like to wish everybody a blessed 2016. We spent some time at a dam near Durbanville where I photographed these Egyptian geese, also known as "Kolganse" in Afrikaans.

We visited some Wine Estates close to the Paarl, The Spice Route & Fairview. The view from there is just beautiful.

There is a beautiful view of Table Mountain from Cape Town Waterfront. There were also a few boats going in and out with trips around the Waterfront.

I found a spot at Melkbosstrand where there are plenty of sea gulls, giving me the opportunity to capture some birds in flight such as this young gull. The young gulls have more brownish feathers, whereas the adult ones are white and black.

Except for the sea gulls at Melkbosstrand, there a few other birds as well, such as this Black Oystercatcher. I have captured a few images of birds in flight.

The beach is still one of my favorite places to do sunset photos.

I was lucky to also be able to capture these two gulls fighting at Melkbosstrand. I realized that I am a bit out of practice with bird photography.
