A mobile post on the run today. Museum on the Hill was shot outside the Auckland Museum using the vignette app on my galaxy sII.
A great place to visit, both for the surrounding park land and bush walks, as well as the museum itself, which one can potentially explore for an entire day. – I’m fairly sure I have wrote a little about it in the past.
Thats all for today. Back tomorrow!
After mentioning I had been house bound for the past few days recovering, and not been out shooting, I ran into today’s image ‘Deflation’ literally outside my front door. With Halloween the other day, we had put up some decorations, inviting trick or treaters to come and pay us a call. We had a number of balloons with hand drawn faces floating around the yard, the above poor fellow (if one can call an object a fellow) ‘deflated’ on the ground.
I though the expression on its face was great, and didn’t move or adjust it at all position wise for the image.
In Gimp I cropped the aspect, pushed the contrast a little and also brought out the yellow slightly.
Friday!
Another day of recovery, another photo from the files.
There is something quite relaxing about an image in the grass of a limited depth of field. I think it creates a feeling of ease, care free’ness and one can imagine the soft wind blowing it, with the sound of stalks rubbing against each other in the wind.
Shot on the Sony Nex, I cropped the aspect with black boarders, otherwise straight from the camera.
All going well, back to work tomorrow, so I will take photo in hand and find some new images!
Last week I managed to get some extra shooting time in, which was great, but possibly a signal that I would not be able to do so much this week. Misfortune would have it that the day after my half marathon I stood on a nasty big rusty nail, which has left me limping around home on meds. My cameras are looking at me, but I cant get much further than the front door… the weather is amazing also!
Not much of a story to tell for today’s image, shot on the Nex 5N. Close up of some bright pink flowers with the kit lens.
Catch you you tomorrow!
Over the weekend we were visited by our friend Emily, for an impromptu BBQ. Whilst waiting for the food to cook I took a few snaps with my 5N and the Sigma lens.
Although the focus wasn’t crystal sharp on today chosen image, it was one of my favourites simply for the day-dreamy though in her eyes/face.
Shot at 400iso, under a old light, I played with the levels a little to bring up the whites and create a bit more of a softness to the skin tone.
Thanks again for the pose Emily!
