Forbidden Fruit?

Shot on Maymia RB67… Was slightly annoyed that I cut the end of the key off.

The idea was to make the light look like it was coming out of the apple.


Photo Montage Dunedin Railway Station

Made up of about 20 to 30 images with Nikon D70s and 80-200mm lens.

I couldnt easily get further back without having an incident with traffic so the shots were quite large when it came to putting them togeather in Photoshop.

I like the way all the verticals are all still vertical but all the horizontals are slightly skewed. It appears to be coming out to meet you in the middle of the image.


Red Rocks Hilux Rescue


Apparently its best not get stuck too close to the water when the tide is coming in and there is no way to get another vehicle close enough to pull you out.

I figured that there were enough people pushing so I could stand back and take photos

Best quote of the day from the boy on the left of the frame as the Hilux drove away up the beech “Hey wait for me, Im just a kid”


Capoeria in Cuba Street

Saw this happening one Saturday while having a quick lunch break from work.

This is the reason I always try to carry my camera with me


Seals at Redrocks

Being one of the few days of the year when shops are actually closed the boys from the shop went on a 4WD mission round Redrocks… We must have had at least 9 cameras between 4 people and the boot of the Landrover was almost filled with camera equipment.

All of the female seals have migrated for the winter so only the singe males are left and with no female around the seals are reasonably placid as long as you dont get too close or get between them and the water.

All images with Nikon D70s 80-200mm f2.8 lens

Seal just about to eat Fergus

Iz be cute

What you lookn at?

Yawn


Happy Easter and Fatherhood Friday 3

Since having kids I have found myself adopting or making up phrases, here are a sample of a few I seem to use the most:

Less talk more walk

Lets go monkeyo

Faster like Pasta

Red man, red man, wait, wait, wait… Thanks Amy


Sam: now crawling and into everything shes not supposed to be

Taken with Nikon D70s 50mm f1.8 Nikon SB80 Speedlite at 1/2 power bounced off the ceilling

As well I have started spontaneously singing at random times when with my kids, usually at the supermarket or similar. Top hits include:

Move it, Move it

Creep… Minus swearing sometimes

Hakuna matata (The Lion King)

It is also worrying when your wife borrows your 3 year olds accessories (in this case a scarf) and even though they asked if said 3 year old wanted to wear them and were told no a tantrum enschews because she now wants to wear it herself. This is a situation I have never even dreamed that would have to be resolved.

Monday night Highlight… Having to use hiemlich maneuver on wife choking on steak


Emily: Currently has cough, cold and high temperature

Taken last year with Nikon F5 50mm f1.8 and Ilford Delta 400


Angel

Karori Cemetery, Wellington, New Zealand

Shot in the middle of the day with speedlite on full power. This is pretty much how the image looked on the camera.
