A Fantastic day at the Hamilton Zoo with Canion NZ and our local reseller Snapshot Photo. Had an amazing enclosure experience with the Red Panda - a solid 11 out of 10 on the cuteness scale, and unbelievably friendly (OK food helps...), had one climb up on my knee for an inquisitive sniff. Here are a few pics:

Mid-winter sunrise in Kye Burn - just west of the Dansey Pass, Central Otago - with the stunning Leica S camera and 180mm lens. This image is cropped to about one quarter of the original shot!

Peter and Catherine, winter wedding at Balmoral Beach, Sydney.
A windy, wet Friday turned into a beautiful sunny Saturday. Loads of fun, exquisite menu and a very happy couple ;-)

Autumn in the city. I've tried to use this very simple composition and limited colour palette to tell that story. Shot with an equally simple and unassuming 50mm (equiv) prime lens - which as it turns out was Henry Cartier Bresson's favourite lens... Geoff

Water Sculpture

The great thing about shooting in manual mode, is the ability to produce a look that a camera in automatic setting would never think of ;-)
At f/2.0 and 1/4000 sec. I can totally soften my background, and freeze the water so it really pops. I then add a little split toning and a sympathetic crop, and voila!

Street Sleeper, CBD Auckland
I don't know how he does it... Buses, trucks, sirens and blaring horns - somehow he sleeps through it all - perhaps the warm afternoon helps...

You should see the other guy... Compliments of the make-up crew. Drove home Friday looking like this - got some very mixed reactions.

Total focus on the studio floor... mixing and cutting 3 cameras and an audio track to tell a story from 20 or so still images. Surprising how effective this is.
