A session from the Domain

Raw Session from Saturday

Session on Saturday, first time in about 3 weeks that I managed to get down to the beach to take photos. A few comments on my blog, and emails about the lack of content on my blog. I'm not going to apologise for being absent, I just hope that soon I can get fixed so I can get back to my life I once knew. Two top are Andy Sutherland having a good day and Jayin on his new single fin. Below are screen shots of the whole session with Andy, Jimi, Matt & Lamby

New Years Surf 2011

Early morning start, easily attainable since I went to bed at 11pm, slept through the new years changeover.
I'm looking forward to hitting a new gear this year, been in reverse for the last one with flat tyres and not much gas.
All pics of my best mate, partner and the most patient supportive human I know, Jayin.

Arvo Surf

Three Consecutive Sundays

The first two Sundays I found myself at the same surf spot photographing the Big Rock Crew, conditions were pretty primo surf-wise, but late in the day and overcast low-light conditions. An excellent opportunity to peak out the supposed higher functions of the canon 7D in these conditions. Looking back at all the settings I used, I realised I didn't play with the auto ISO. Next time. Below left: Jimi almost hitting noon time, Right: Nathan all cosy inside.

Caitlin took a load of photos on the second Sunday, Which she says she is going to edit up and do her own post this week.

The third Sunday in this set, today has been an intensively mad task to get my first weeks' of assignments off for a year long film course I have just started. Something I have always wanted to do, especially since I have had so many technical issues the last year which has stopped me moving forward in making my own films. Hopefully starting from scratch with the right equipment and instruction will allow me to seamlessly and fully express my personal drive -

'Creative Expression in Action'

I took a photo today

And then I played in photoshop.. And this is what it was of.

A Short Weekend Drive

Went for a bit of a cruise checking out some surf spots on Saturday with a good friend.

Three out

Stunning Dunedin winters' day again, Thursday about 9.30am.. I had about 40 minutes before I started work so took a quick spin down the line hoping to catch jay still out. I passed him returning home on his scooter, board on rack and decided to take a look and get some empties anyway. I was rewarded with lines stacking up to the horizon and three out, below.

Walking down the path the shot (two above) was snapped between paces. Below a sik sequence

Above a walk to the nose, and below a 20 frame sequence. which made me realise I had my camera set to shoot jpegs and not Raw images.

Happy New Year

Lacking Waves lately

Been super busy working on a few new projects, and some loose ends on some old ones, I haven't had the chance to leave the house to take any photos or even surf.
Friday I attended a day forum on the Media and the Environment, which was a fantastic insight.
All these photos are from a trip away a few months back.
