Dalene, a small quizz give the name of the bay?
Elizabethbay
Zorro, wrong
I'd like to do your job Alfred.
Aah ! so beautiful .. I can feel the light mist from the sea spray brushing my skin .. I want to go there ..
Saddle Hill?
I am uncertain, but it resembles Agate Bay Lüderitz
Alfred, I'm not totally sure, but we used to call it Black Rob - that's the beach where the seals and sometimes the sea elephant come to breed. Also near to it that big cave.
So long since I've been there - I remember the names of some of the bay's there, but not really sure. Could it be Bakersbay or Pomona?
CUT THE QUIZ .. JUST TAKE ME THERE ....
Me too , Me too
beautiful
me three, me three
EEEHH! Must I say me 4 now?
Yes jnr, that would be the appropriate thing to say laughpoint

I don't know if Georg snr would have had the chance to go there but as a keen photographer sure wishes he could?
No no Carl, its not catching up with me, i am in the middle of it LOL
But the area shown is out of bounds, i was in the area some few times, they all look similar
I know Kolmanns, Bogenfels, E-bay, Pamona, chamais, Dabbaras, R-veld and lots of SWA LOL
Between Lüderitz and Walvis is a blank area for me never been there exept flights
Why dont you answer ???? Just wait till i come up with pictures LOL
@ Alfred : Yes sure any time, but the buggers make it difficult for you ..........
In my next life, i´ll go there......

Hi Alfred, is the camera club still going in OM? I remember my dad used to be a member. They had this competition going in those days were every member had to submit one photo a month. The photos were then distributed to each member in turn for appraisal and criticism. The winner received a small gift from the club shop. Usually a roll of film or something similar.

Carl the camera club and shop is no longer yes I do remember the photo/slide compotitions they had
I was also active in the Camera Club when Carls dad was there
Our slides were sent to CT. An expert there commented the slides and gave pionts.
Once a month, we showed the slides with the comments. I was projectionist and belonged to the commitee for a while. Good buddies in the club.
Spoke to Dieter Heiser on skype about those times. He run the shop a long time also his wife run it before him.
A highlight was a trip to Richtersveld, i would show you an old 8mm film from that, but you have no broadband, so forget it
Me five.....me five grab
Snr, do you perhaps know what happened to the Heiser's after OM? I was best buddies with Ebby's son Horst in OM. After Ebbie passed away Horst and his mother moved to Somerset West and that was the last contact I had.
Yes Carl
Dieter is on the board. Get his email adress and fins him in skype. I had some chats with him
He lives in CT, big shot on construction and is married to Patricia O-munder ( Ex shop keeper camera club)
Alfred thanks for the photographs you must post some more
Zorro
ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
Alfre
Your 5th photo (P100102) looks suspiciously like Chamies Bay looking southwards towards the headland thats there.
Your 6th photo is also familiar and looks like a small bay north of Chameis Bay - about 2 -3 kms. I dont know what its called but recall that there were lots of rocks and cliffs.
I could be very wrong - my memory is not what it used to be (old age).
Cheers
Malcolm
well done that man,great pictures alfred,keep them comming boet cheers cheers
Malcom jumped me on this one, Alfred, but that was my next guess - Chamais Bay!
Damn - I will for sure have to bring those slides of my dad with to the reunion so we can sort through them and add comments etc. Have said before that I don't know how to get those slides onto the computer, but you guys might help me do it.
You get sanners that can scan slides and negatives , got one such at home ... ask around somebody you know must surely have one ...
Thanks Sandy, you just gave me an idea. Might ask this one guy who owns the local Gazette if he has something like that. He is also a very keen photographer, so I think for sure he will have one, or some other gadget that can do it.
Scanning slides
We had that subject before.....
Tip: Pending on the quality of the scanner, the results will vary tremendously
Use the highest resolution and save the first scan as a tiff File, later when edited you save as JPG
Have fun..... i have scanned thousends and was busy round the clock for ten days.

Too true Georg .. i did some initially .. used default settings and when you took them up to size it was all squares . i got dead ordinary HP scanner and it seems to do an adequate job just slow .. .. other one .. the slides mus be scrupulously clean as every bit of dust etc shows up and makes it fuzzy

Do you remember Van Reenens bay
Hi Alfred
Yes are right - it could be van Reenens Bay. From what I can remember there were a few small rocky islands - almost outcrops sticking out of the water quite close to shore. Does that sound like the place?
Damn. I would love to get back up that part of the coast again.
Cheers
Malcolm
Malcolm, those last pics you emailed me...were top notch awesome stuff,,, especially the wreck and the landrover.... I will post them when I get back to work on the weekend.....

Hi Michael, how was the leave? Did the bitchslapping gang at least leave you some cold ones in the fridge?
Man it was one heck of a party! Has Shadow recovered yet?
Shadows on track..... he did the most amazing thing yesterday... we went down to the lagoon and took the paddleski with.... first time for my girls to use...Alan was also there...So I have a witness... As Shannon starts to paddle out... this puppy hops onto the paddleski and sits down behind her..she paddles all of 90metres to the other side with this puppy on the back...he never fell of once.... unbelievable...I'm hoping 2 go down 2morrow again, this time I;ll get a pic....

Spot on you right

Hey Alf, this is almost like "skattejag" with that chick in the chopper and the couple back in the studio figuring out the clues and where the treasure is and she has to find it based on their directions. So where does the next mission take us to?
Sssssh! Don't mention the word treasure in here, some people in black might want to ask you a few questions..... meanpuff
The next "skattejag" if you where to be on this island and looked back at land what place would you see?
I thought at first that it might be an island off Angra-Juntas, but that is a bit too small and too flat I think.
Perhaps it could be Pomona Island off Elizabeth Bay.
Cant think of any other places.
I dont know. The more I try to remember the more confused I get- cant remember anything anymore.
