Lions Head at night

This weekend on Instagram {12-14 June 2015}

Lions Head at night

Here is a new section to my blog that I’ve decided to post every Monday and it is going to be a round-up of Instagram Photos and Videos that were taken not only by me, but of others that I think should be recognised for their epic work!

This weekend was a pretty epic one in terms of the photos that I captured, not just because of the weather in Cape Town, but because Instagram’s weekend hashtag project was #WHPwindy!

My first shot posted on Friday was from a spontaneous mission to Signal Hill and Lions Head to catch the mist that rolled into the city in the early hours of Friday Morning.

  Check out my buddy Nick’s time-lapse of that sunrise!

My next shot was of the weirdest sunset I’ve seen in a long time where the sun turned into a mushroom, then a top hat and then a space ship just before it disappeared under the horizon.

As mentioned, the hashtag project that Instagram ran over the weekend was #WHPwindy which was awesome because I rely heavily on wind to move clouds in all my time-lapses, so here are the posts that I used as entries for the project:

My last post for the weekend was of a time-lapse that I captured over Table Mountain while waiting for the lights to be switched on to illuminate the mountain red. This never happened, so I let the time-lapse run for an hour and a half and this was the result:

  To end things off, here are a few other shots uploaded by others this weekend which if you have not seen, I thought they were pretty epic!
