Looking through your portfolio this image really jumped out at me. Beautiful shot. The speaker is somewhat distracting yet blends in perfectly. I dont know if I like it or hate it. The speaker that is.

Hi Megan,
Thanks for your comment on my picture. I don't visit Usefilm much these days since all the changes. Too many posts that never get any comments and too many average pictures getting rave reviews.
This was taken at a viewing area for Little Blue penguins in Oamaru,New Zealand. Apart from the strong graphic of the man made structure against the blue of the ocean, I felt compelled to make a statement about the world of eco tourism, the myth of New Zealand as a clean green place to visit.
The growth of global tourism to the more remote places in the world is having a hugh negative impact on the animal kingdom as well as consuming vast quantities of natural resources. Not to mention the pollution and climate warming effects modern jet airlines are having on the biosphere.
It seems that we are happy to spend vast sums of money making sure the tourists are happy, safe and secure in their "close encounters" with the natural world at the expense of the wildlife they come to see.
I have been interested in photography most of my life. Since switching to digital cameras about four years ago my work has become more illustrative rather than pictorial. I enjoy working with Photoshop and also now putting images to music for digital slide shows. I love getting out into the Otgao landscape when the light is at it's best, early morning and later in the day. I also find the Winter light is great and just before of after a storm. It makes for a more dramatic landscape. Mostly I'm self taught from books and magazines but find the web is a great source of information. There are a lot of very talented photographers willing to share their knowledge.
Best of luck with your own photography and struggle to develop you own style and make pictures for yourself first and others second.
Regards

This is a beautiful photograph. The colours are extremly pretty. Almost makes you want to go on a holiday to the beach. You are very talented.
I’m a student and I was hoping that you would help me out with one of my assignments. All it involves is critiquing on some images and writing a bit about the photographer and their world. Any information about this photograph would be great. Like what time of day it was taken, what you were thinking when you took it, what you were trying to achieve. Things like that. It would also be a major help if you could send me a bit about your self. Why do you take photographs, how long you have been doing it, did you do any courses on photography.
Please email me at george_almighty@hotmail.com
Thank you so much
Best Regards
Megan

Fantastic expoure and composition. Great tones. I think the soft blue tones makes the lit windows a wonderful hightlight, both the windows themselves and the reflection. The off center subject was framed to pefection. Great!

Yes I love wide too. I got the Nikkor 12 - 24 lens. It's a great lens. At the 24 mm end it's one sharp cookie. Do you remember Cynthia van de Loo? She was in that first class you took at Canterbury Summer School. Saw some of her work in an exhibition in Dunedin yesterday. Cheers John

Hi John
Yeah heard good things about the D200. Same with the 1Ds not many images to a 1 Gig card. It's so nice to have full frame though I love my wide angle.
Take care

Thanks Mark. So far the D200 is performing very well. I have not encountered any of the problems with banding that others seem to be having. I also never had any problems with my D70 or G3. I guess we get a better class of import here in NZ.
Out of camera the colour rendition is very good and the camera has a better dynamic range than the D70. It's nice to be able to use my old manual lens. Just tell the camera the focal length and max aperture and get TTL metering.
On the down side 60 raw pics per 1 gig card and the files open up at 50 + megs each. 2 gigs of ram on the PC works fine though. At the moment it's probably the best speced camera for the price.
I see you are now using a 1Ds. That's a whole lota camera if your'e not making money out of it.
Cheers John

I Agree John - your version is much better. One suggestion, I like the textures in the sky above the shelter in the original - it is a shame this is lost in the final version.
Incredible perspectives though - I gotta get me an ultra wide lens!
