Photographic Workshops:

I’ve had the good fortune to travel around Africa on my photo tours/workshops and see many camps, lodges, parks, hotels, conference centres and the like. There are only a handful that are memorable and make you want to return time and again. Not just the scenery, wildlife, facilities and peacefulness but what really makes the difference is the people. Seokama is one of those rare places where you can relax with family and friends and truly feel at home.

At the beginning of, and throughout the summer I visit Dave, Monika, Peter, Ryan, John and Tepa. The Waterberg is one of my favourite bush-veld getaways. Whilst there are dozens of lodge choices in the area, I occasionally need some escape from the pressure of only chasing the Big 5 for clients and not focussing on the other wild and birdlife, scenery that Africa has to offer.

Seokama Private Lodge is this escape.

Within walking distance from the lodge, 4 luxury canvas tents sleeping 8 on very comfy beds, each one with a covered verandah and an en-suite bathroom where the shower overlooks the bush at the back (just your head is visible!). A well appointed lodge with kitchen, lounge, bar and pool deck with views of the bush-veld savannah tucked amongst some beautiful mountains and landscape, a boma with Bush-Baby’s calling at night, has all one really needs to wind down. There is also a conference centre for hire, with facilities. Seokama has an abundance of bird life, especially around the summer rainfalls, as well as a good variety of game..

Since mid 2010 I have developed and customised a photographer centric toolbar that fits right into your browser. It’s light, under 1Mb at last update. It is completely adware and spyware free. I want it that way. I’m sure you do to.

I got frustrated by losing Bookmarks and having to search History for a web site or resource I had found weeks earlier so the idea of the Toolbar was born, with a photographic flavour.

Below some screen shots in the gallery:

What does it do: It stays on your menu bar for quick access to hundreds of resources. If you ever lose your favourites, links, tools, bookmarks; just reinstall the bar and they’re all back in a few seconds.

It has a search window like most toolbars, but also a very useful tool from TPE that allows you to pre-plan your shoot, location/time of shoot, sunrise, sunset, moonrise, moonset for seascapes, landscapes, and other location shoots.

There are quick links to Facebook, Twitter your desktop Skype application.

A global digital clock so if your a travelling ‘tog, you can work out the time in another city in another country.

The biggest drawcard is the “Tog Tools”. A drop down menu to resources from across the web.

Manufacturers web sites; Camera, lens, studio, DIY, Scripts, Actions, Tips, Tricks, Owners Manuals, Free Software, Data Recovery, Associations,  and loads more.

We are accepting suggestions of web sites and tools to keep adding to the system. Please Contact Us with your idea!
