Street Photographer in polokwane, South Africa

Walking through the park in the town centre of Polokwane, South Africa, it would be impossible to miss street photographer, Phineas Molwantwa. The 51-year-old father of four lives 20km from the town. He has a small home at the foot of the hill, where he grows his own corn and breeds pigeons. But Phineas also has an inspiring entrepreneurial vision which he realizes through street photography.

Every day he travels by bus to Polokwane with his camera and his printer. He sets himself up in the park and takes pictures of passers by, charging R20 per print. With a background in photography that dates as far back as 1975, Phineas has a good eye for that perfect snap.

With the FIFA World Cup being hosted in South Africa, and one of the stadiums on his doorstep, Phineas has enjoyed the business that this has brought him. Whether he’s taking photos of Algerian fans hugging South African locals, or tourists out for a walk in the park, this street photographer is delighted to be benefiting from the soccer tournament.

“I didn’t have any idea how the World Cup would turn out, but I am very happy to be part of it. I will take this opportunity to photograph the tourists and make some money to support my family.”

All you do is move around town, go to weddings, public Hot spots, entertainment parks etc and offer a person a same time photo while he/she waits.

CANON EOS1000D SLR Camera

PRICE : ONLY E 6 750-00

With a 10.1 Megapixel CMOS sensor and technology inherited from Canon’s professional models, the EOS 1000D offers EOS imaging power in an affordable, easy-to-use package.

Features

10.1 MP CMOS sensor Up to 3fps 7-point wide-area AF Self-Cleaning Image Sensor 2.5” LCD with Live View mode DIGIC III processor SD/SDHC card slot Picture Styles processing Compact and lightweight Compatible with EF/EF-S lenses and EX Speedlites

The gateway to your creativity.

10.1 Megapixel CMOS sensor A 10.1 Megapixel CMOS sensor captures enough detail to make A4-size prints, even when cropping your image. Canon’s CMOS sensor technology also ensures crisp, sharp images even in low-light conditions. Up to 3 frames per second For dramatic mid-action shots, the EOS 1000D allows continuous shooting of large JPEG images at speeds of up to 3 frames per second, until the memory card is full. With a 2GB card, this lets you shoot up to 514 images without a pause. 7-point wide-area AF A wide-area Auto Focus system uses 7 separate focusing points to lock onto subjects fast. The central focus point enables focusing even under low-light or low-contrast conditions. EOS Integrated Cleaning System Canon’s built-in dust prevention system guards images against the effects of dust in three ways: reducing dust generated inside the camera, shaking dust from the sensor each time the camera is turned on or off, and mapping stubborn dust spots for removal with the provided Digital Photo Professional software. 2.5" LCD with Live View mode In Live View mode, use the bright 2.5” LCD to frame and take shots from awkward angles. During playback, the LCD provides detailed review of shots, and features a wide viewing angle for easy sharing with friends. Large viewfinder A large, bright viewfinder allows framing of subjects even in the brightest conditions. DIGIC III processing Canon’s cutting-edge DIGIC III processor – as used in professional EOS models - delivers rapid operation, accurate colour reproduction, fast start-up times, and low power consumption. SD/SDHC memory card compatible Shooting to the popular SD/SDHC memory card formats, the EOS 1000D is ideal for those who already own SD-compatible devices. Total image control Take control over the look and feel of your images with easy to use Picture Style presets. Contrast, sharpness and saturation can be customized in-camera or with Canon’s comprehensive software suite, supplied with the EOS 1000D. Compact, ultra-lightweight body The smallest and lightest Digital EOS model yet, the EOS 1000D weighs just 450g - and is ergonomically designed for comfortable handling. EF lenses and accessories The EOS 1000D is compatible with the complete range of EF/EF-S lenses, Speedlite EX flash units and EOS system accessories.
