Typical New Zealand Photo
On the way back from a Castle mission had to stop for some cows crossing the road… Had camera, will take photos
This is for all the Non New Zealanders out there… Apparently there are more cows in NZ than people, not to mention a couple of sheep
Lost Printer
Ive noticed over the last couple of weeks that my printer has been starting to fade into the background, possibly because it is out of ink. After purchasing some ink (which cost more than I initially paid for the printer) I cant find it anywhere…. Weird. This pic is of a slightly cleaner desk as I used a camera, speedlite and off shoe TTL cable that was otherwise on the desk.
The situation has gotten worse… Amanda actually needsd something printed (ukulele music) and the printer cartridge has also been eaten by my desk…
Might have to tidy somewhat before work today.
Fatherhood Friday
Amanda and Emily
They both have the knack of saying things unintentionally that make me laugh my ass off
Amandas best this week: Lip Waash instead of whiplash
Emilys best this week: ” That necklass looks really pretty mum. When you die can I have it?”
Samantha
Had a hard week teething. 1 top tooth down 1 to go!
Balance by Torchlight
Fort Balance, Wellington
Nikon F5, Ilford Delta 3200 film, f1.8 30 secs with fill light from torch
Pre WWII gun emplacement… Abandoned by military, Adopted by graffiti artists.
Part of a series I am currently working on about abandoned gun emplacements around Wellington.
Snail on a Wire
As the title suggests it a snail on a power line… Not sure where it was going or even where it had come from… All I know is it had a long way to go.
Infrared Stable
Reconstructed Stable in Old Cromwell Town, Cromwell, Central Otago, New Zealand
Nikon D70s ISO 200 f22 for 15 seconds with a Cokin 007 IR filter
The composition of this shot was based on Lawrence Aberhart’s style ( I wish I could have shot it on an 8×10 camera like Mr Aberhart)
Macro Stitch Image “Back of a Gargoyle”
Nikon D70s ISO 200 50mm f1.8 with PK13 extension tube f8 1/125sec with 1 studio light
This image is actually made up of 9 images stitched togeather in Photoshop
The overall dimensions are something like 100cm x 25cm at 300 dpi
This was an experiment to see if I could combine macro photography and stitching to make a macro panoramic image. This was done by moving the camera along a macro rail rather than rotating it like when you make a landscape pano… I am really tempted to make a turntable of some sort to put an object on and then make a 360 degree stitched image of it…
As a test I thought this worked pretty well.
Red Splat
Red Splat
Originally shot for the Canon Eos Photo5 Competition
Nikon D70s ISO 200 f8 1/640 sec (which is kinda odd cause the D70s is only supposed to sync up to 1/500 sec)
Red Splat 2
This one didnt make the cut for the comp but was kinda cool
Nikon D70s ISO 200 f8 1/640 sec
A small setup montage.
I really like how crap the setup is (random piece of perspex with holes drilled into it balanced on an upsidedown chair on the family table) but how good the end result looks… I feel its a good example of what you can do without spending a whole heap of money on fancy equipment.
Light Graffiti
Test shot for Portrait sometime (model in foreground right)
Nikon D70s ISO 200 F22 66secs with 10W torch and lots of running up and down
Cross Processed Emily Lion
Cross Processed uji Velvia 50
Facepaint from launch of the “Giggles” TV show
Same shot two different ways 2
Shot 1 mostly for composition reasons
Courtneay Place, Wellington, New Zealand
Nikon D70s at ISO 200 f8 1/500 sec
Shot 2 with a Cokin NDX filter (which reduces light by a bigillion stops)
Nikon D70s ISO 200 f8 364 sec
This one feels slightly post apocalyptic with the lack of people and the crazy magenta cast from the filter
