Meet Walter, the horse who has been "down from the hills" for two weeks and who is on his California holiday, which according to his owner is "a wonderful break from carrying his owners fat backside up and down the hills all day". What a wonderful serendipity to meet these two! They made my day!
What a pleasure to be on holiday! The ability to freely explore another part of the country is exhilarating for any photographer. Often the unexpected comes along when we are not ready, but this time I was ready! Even if not with my usual tools (my beloved D700 started playing up yesterday in the snowy weather).

I enjoy painting. I don't get a whole lot of time to indulge in it, but my aim one day is to spend more time putting colours onto canvas in a more tactile way. I will be happy however- for now, with this digital version. Tonight, I found myself up in Waihi Town with two hours to kill. My second son and I enjoyed ourselves immensely doing some night shots around town. This by far, is my favourite. I was actually sitting inside the car so this is through the front windscreen and I was very happy to have my settings dialled in when these two cars got to where I wanted them. Actually we had to wait for ages for cars to come up and down as it wasn't busy at all. This was taken at 7:23 pm. Taken on a D700; 50mm; f/5.6; 1/8 sec; ISO 200. |
AuthorI am a visual person. I find that surrounding myself in creation, feasting my eyes on what is before me and daydreaming a little is great refreshment for my soul. I also read avidly about trends, techniques and technicalities associated with visual art. When I can, I love assigning large chunks of time responding to what I see and crafting my own art. Here is a place to put that down. Archives
