Clouds

14 September 2014

Personally I don’t photographs clouds as a specific subject for an image. But……….

We were leaving Geraldine before sunrise when we spotted this unusual cloud formation. It reminded me of a big mothership in a sci fi movie. Having never seen anything like this before I decided to set up the tripod and photograph the cloud as the sun rises.

My dilemma in post production was how to present the cloud- preserve the shape and lose the fine detail or crop.

I couldn’t make up my mind so here are a few variations of the scene.

Also in the gallery I have shown how the lighting changed as the sun came up.

Diwali 2010

25 August 2014

Diwali is also known as the “festival of lights”. This is an ancient Hindu festival that is held in Autumn and celebrated in Wellington every year.

From a photographers point of view the 2010 year was better than the following two years, especially with regards to overseas acts.

This is a great place to get a cultural experience of India and is probably as close as I will get to India in the following years.
