Canon EOS something or the other.
But the equipment is only half of the result.
Knowing how to get the most out of it and having a talent for taking a good photo and understanding how to get the photo to look like you picture it in your mind is what its about.
And clearly Sprocketbek has that under control.
Very cool photos!

I'm so miffed that I missed this one.
Come on. Where's all the pics? Surely this can't be all?
And my sincere apologies for the catering bugger-up on Saturday. We were dropped big time but I take full responsibility for the mess.

Here are some of my pics:
We rode from the Cape straight up the N7 to Garies. From there we headed over to Hondeklipbaai. It rained all the way from my front door to our destination. It sucked.
Dirt road between Garies and Hondeklipbaai
At first the clay road was just mildly entertaining
Then it became quite humorous
...until we eventually stopped laughing
We eventually made it to Noup. A small bay inside DeBeer's mining concession. Noup has a couple of huts that were originally used to house diamond divers. They now cater for visitors and are quite popular in high season.
Day 2 to follow -

Thanks for the compliments guys, appreciated.
I used a Canon 350XT with only one lens: The 450D's 18-55 IS kit lens.
Toyed with the idea of taking another lens or 2 but decided against it.

The weather looked much better the next morning.
So we made our way from Kleinsee to Port Nolloth
Tar Road to Port Nolloth
After filling up with fuel we entered the Richtersveld via Lekkersing
What follows are pics of the area:
The roads are generally good with the odd sandy spot
I have a suspicion SANParks don't know how to grade roads. They make the same mistake here as in Kalahari Transfrontier Park. They scrape so deep you can hardly see over the sides of the road
Near Wondergat
Approaching the Orange River
We missed the cut-off time for the border post so we had to make camp early inside SA at the end of day 2

Butch's bike wouldn't start. It had been giving problems since before we left. By now the batteries including his spare was almost cooked.
My little X tried to breath one last bit of life into the big KTM, to no avail
Eventually he found a loose fuse which allowed one last jump-start so he could follow us across the border.
At the Nam border post we had to split up. His bike was just too unreliable to follow us up-country. He was forced to stay on the busy route and limp home. Goodbye buddy.
His bike never made it home...
Along the Orange River we happened upon a overlanding German. What is it with Germans and Bikes?
My Bike. Love it!
Fish River
Riding up the Gamkab river
Leaving my partners to pitch camp in the Gamkab River I made my way to Ausenkehr to buy provisions for the night
Lovely road
Upon my return they had erected their tents
...but not mine. Thanks guys ...just kidding ;D

Day 3
At the base of the cliff you can see our wee camp
Riding out of the Gamkab river
Making our way across the desert to the nearest road
En route to Ai-Ais
Ai-Ais for petrol
En route to Hobas
The Canyon!
Wreck at the Canyon Roadhouse
At Karasburg we turned south to a town called Warmbad. We were told it was a great little resort with excellent facilities
The bungalos were rather small
The locals were strange ...but friendly
The Shebeen's music was interesting...
The nightlife... well...

What was the German riding LS? Looks like a DR with moerse tank.
