The Overberg is a region in the Western-Cape province in South-Africa. I’m so blessed to stay in the middle of it and thus have a lot of images from the area.
The area is big and my guess is that it’s about 300km from the one side to the other. It’s full of photogenic spots and I recon one can spend years just in the Overberg to get amazing shots. From the rough coastline with wrecks, dunes and rocky cliffs, to the farms with hills, valleys and Canola flowers at the end of winter. The awesome mountains of Riviersonderend and Swellendam, with snow in the winter and awesome clouds in the summer, they are truly worth shooting. The Overberg has it all and is one of the best photographic spots in the country.
In 2011 Dreampixphotography are hosting a few workshops in the Overberg and the first will be the last weekend of March Sat 26th. It will be for beginners "Using your camera's potential". More details and exact dates will be given soon. If you are interested in a Dreampix Overberg Landscape Workshop please send me a mail at ktollig@gmail.com. Only 10 places available.
The following images are all from the Overberg. Enjoy!!

Tip of the day: RGB curve contrast
Another way of adding contrast to your image..... Go to channels. Drag and drop your RGB channel in the little circle to make a selection. Now create an adjustment layer and make a s curve.
