WOW! This is great!

This is a picture of a Mollymawk I took on a fishing trip north of Dunedin. I

took the shot underexposed, and then blew the exposure to produce a high

key, high contrast image, and adjusted the WB, to get simple, sweeping

lines.

Thanks for your feedback!

Taken with an ND and Polariser, to burn about 3.5 stops and blur the

water. Exposure time was around 30s, I think. I love the colours this has

produced.

Thanks for your comments.

Piotr,

Love this shot! Great compressed perspective, sweeping diagonal lines, excellent placement of the tree, pastel shades - all make this a fantastic shot!

Thank you,

Vineet

I've tried to post this twice already, but for some reason it refuses

to work!

This is Hooper's Inlet, on the Otago Peninsula, north of Dunedin, New

Zealand. We drove out at 6 into the frigid Autumn pre-dawn, and

arrived just in time to capture a magnificent sunrise.

Taken with a Nikon D700. Nikkor 180/2.8. handheld.

Thank you for your comments/ratings.

Hi Paul,

This is a great shot! I love the composition, and the strong sidelight and shadows.

Cheers,

Vineet

Shot handheld, at the Orokonui Ecosanctuary, near Dunedin, New Zealand.

Thanks - Vineet

Another Fantail at Orokonui.

Thank you.

I posted this already, but for some reason, it didn't work...

I visited the newly opened Orokonui Ecosanctuary, just outside

Dunedin, today. This is a vast, fenced off enclosure housing native

New Zealand flora and fauna, with a 6 7 foot, fine wire mesh fence,

with specially designed tops and bottoms to keep all non-native pests

away.

This fantail alighted on a railing just outside the visitors' center

as we were leaving on our guided walk. He flew off in about five

seconds, just after I managed to snap off this shot... my favourite

shot of the day!

I spent Saturday shooting at the Naseby 12h Mountainbike Race in

Otago. Here's one of the hundreds of riders racing past...

Thanks for visiting!

New Zealand's Iconic Summer Flower. Taken on Portsmouth Drive,

Dunedin, New Zealand.

Thanks for visiting!

This was taken with my little Digital Compact on a trip to Melbourne a while

ago. It was a blazing blue day, and this was around mid-afternoon.

Thanks for your comments!

Taken with my little Olympus Digital Compact on a trip to Sydney a while

ago.

Thank you for your comments!

Dunedin's famous for its beautiful, historic Railway Station. I've shot

here many times, but this time I wanted to give it an edgy, dark feel. I

shot at ISO 800, which on my D700 produces only a very gentle, hardly

perceptible grain, and gave it a tilt to put it off balance. I tweaked the

WB to give some parts of the building a cyanish/greenish tinge. A few

minutes later, that slight glow in the sky was gone, and the picture didn't

look the same.

What do you think? Cheers!

Great shot! I love the drama in the clouds - great exposure.

Vineet

This is a long exposure (about 10s I think) at the platform at Dunedin's

famous Railway Station. There's a row of trusses and lights, which, when

you turn and move your camera about on a Tripod end up looking a bit like

this...

Tell me what you think! Cheers!

Magnificent shot! Great tones, and exposure to boot...

Vineet

Marvelous shot! Simply love it.. the colours are subtle, and the composition striking.. the waterfall is absolutely essential, and the way the light strikes the outcrops at lower left is simply brilliant.

Fantastic capture, my favourite from your portfolio.

All the best,

Vineet

I love landscapes like this.. They're rare, and always striking!

Fantastic shot, great colours, and great light... Must have taken a long time to find and take a shot like this.. The curves, and the apparently deliberately placed tree on the left.. Fantastic shot!

Cheers,

Vineet
