I haven't been completely idol, just a few of the images I've been working on. I would be my own worst critic & only want to show the best that I like. 

Desert Grace: A composite image of several images blended together.

This old truck sitting in a paddock a long way from the roadside, shot with a 200mm lens on a crop sensor camera which effectively made it a 320mm focal length 

 On the West Coast one day & this wee Damselfly caught my eye, it just seemed to wait patiently for me to take a few shots even smiling for me. Hand held macro, this was the best of the photos that day.

Water Wheel

 Here's an old Photo from a long time ago back when I first started training. We would use black & white film that we had to hand load from bulk rolls. At the time I had a broken arm & on this particular day we were on a field trip & the weather was gloomy & raining. So I decided to rate my 125 ASA (ISO) film at 800 ASA(ISO). This meant I was pushing the film 3 stops. What that did for me was to give me good shutter speeds. My fellow students were using the correct settings & I noticed their shutters were very slow & hand held there was a lot of camera shake that day. So as a result when it came to developing the film I had to keep the film in the developer a lot longer than usual to get the images to come out. As a result you got that grainy look in the final image. A sepia tone gives it that old style look. So now in the digital age I took this old photo & simply scanned it into the computer (darkroom) & tidy up a few dust spots & even some water marks from processing all those years ago. I put a grungy border around it & put my watermark on it. Original image photographed in 1988 & started reworking it in 2012 & now published 2020.. Too long between works. I did sell a few framed copies thru the years.    

Another long time between Posts

 OMG! I seem to forget about using this Blog, Such a long time between posts. So I'll post a few photos I've done over the years. I see a couple of Notices about Google using Cookies & obtaining data for their purposes etc etc.. So be aware that happens on this site.

New work

Well it's been another long stretch since I've been on here to update some work. Honestly I don't know where the time goes. Still juggling a full time job & the love of Photography. Sometimes it's so demanding I just don't have enough hours in the day. I have added a couple of new composites to the site & will try to add some more of my recent work very soon.

Bla bla bla!  I have totally forgotten about keeping up to date with this Blog! Well I have been working on Compositing lately & have had some success. I'll post some images soon for all to see.

Recent Work

I haven't Posted much on here over the past year or so, life has been very busy with moving back to Christchurch after recovering from a total hip replacement. I'm now back to work driving trucks, but that is a means to an end. I have updated cameras, computers, software & various other equipment to set myself up as a Photographer. I'm currently working on images for a Lyfestle Expo in October & this will generate some business & with fingers crossed I will be able to retire from Truck driving to be a fulltime Photographer.
 So please enjoy some of these images I have posted & I will endeaver to post more very soon.
