Welcome to PPSAONLINE, the official portal of the Professional
Photographers of Southern Africa. The aim of the portal is to provide a
service to our members as we adapt to the changing face of the industry and
the challenges and opportunities presented by new technology and the
current economic climate.

We encourage you to browse the site and give us your feedback. New
features include a directory of all members, per category, under the "Locate a
photographer" section and we'll be updating your news and views on a
regular basis. We will also be introducing a 'Classifieds' section whereby
PPSA members will be able to advertise photographic equipment that they no
longer have a use for.

This is your portal and we encourage you to send your views, comments and
suggestions to admin@ppsaonline.co.za

Frans Dely in flying kit holding his
Nikon D3 with 24-70mm Nikkor
bracketed to a small SONY HD
camera. He developed this setup to
shoot video and hi-res stills at the same
time.This was before DSLRs came out
with HD capabilities.
Dely says "The combination of this is
still better as the D3 is shooting 12
mega pixel at potentially 11 frames per
second while I get a full HD quality with
superb stabilization from theSONY.
After the sortie I had 2200 raw frames
and an hour of video to work with, all
without changing any cards thanks to
the dual slots in the D3 and the AVCHD
format. Exposures were 500th/sec
averaging f4 @ 200 ISO on an overcast
day."
