Another shot from the photo walk.

This one was converted to black and white, then toned using a purple shade for shadows and a pale yellow for highlights.

I participated in a Cape Town photo walk, part of Scott Kelby’s Worldwide Photo Walk, held in many cities around the globe on 23 August 2008 and will be posting photos I took on the walk for the next while.

Visit the group pool to see more photographs from other Cape Town walkers.

Hanging With The Buoys

Hanging With The Buoys

To get the meaning I intended, the title should be read with the standard English pronunciation of bouys (boys) rather than the US pronunciation (boo-eys).

No global village for Adobe?

As a fan of Adobe Lightroom I was very pleased to see version 2 released and planned to buy an upgrade right away.  I went to the Adobe store, only to find out that I have to pay US $129 to buy the upgrade from the South African store while it costs only US $99 from the US store, but I can’t buy there.  That’s crazy; I want the download version not the box version so it’s not a question of shipping or higher logistics costs.  In fact I will probably end up downloading from the very same site that US customers will.

So why the price difference?  And where’s this global village I keep hearing about?
