I used to do a heap of photography, especially a lot of sunrises when I did shift work at the refinery and travelling home as the sun was coming up. It was my escape in the dying years of my marriage. Photography & instagram is how I actually met Jess, but we both have let it slip in the last couple of years we have been seeing each other apart from iPhone snapping.
But I have a few favourites
Absolute favourite of my kids, even though you can’t actually see them. It’s looking out over a valley about 10 mins from my house. Taken with the iPhone and edited slightly
This one was my first crack at a long exposure on my Nikon bridging camera (P520) no ND filter as it’s quite dark in between the walls of the waterfall and was only a 8 sec exposure. This is in the bottom of the valley the kids are looking over in the previous pic
This ones another sunset at the lookout over the same valley but with a different vantage. I really like doing silhouette shots. I’ve printed this one on a 1 x1.5 metre canvas and is on my wall in my lounge
And finally a shot over the local river in heavy fog one morning. These conditions only lasted about two mins as the sun started to rise then it all burnt off and looked quite different. Not an ounce of editing, this is how it came off the camera.
If anyone is on instagram, feel free to follow @kiwi_klicker I’m private but if I recognise the name I’ll add, only follow people I actually know these days as I haven’t the time for millions of pics in my feed.
