I spotted this small bunch of leaves during early morning after a cold night while photographing some autumn colors. There is even a tiny spiderweb between the leaves with some droplets caught in it. Pentax K200D + 18-55mm kit lens.

A beautiful sunrise this morning. Taken at Cornwall Park, Auckland.

This was taken while trying out some Kenko extension tubes. I used some fill flash to try and eliminate some shadows but left the ISO too high and overexposed the petals. I kinda like the end result though as it emphasises the centre more.

Picture yourself relaxing under the tree on a nice summer day. Vue 6 Infinite, thanks for all comments & views...

I bought a new camera over the weekend (upgraded from a 350D to a 40D) and took it out for a test drive today. The sunset was muted due to the cloud cover, but I still got some amazing colours out of the camera (this image has very little post processing). Unfortauntely it was a bit windy so there's some motion blur in the foreground, but I'm still pretty happy with it. Taken at Ambury Park, Auckland.

Nikon D300 with 70-300 VR.

A photo of a kerosene flame being struck by a stick to set off some sparks. Done in my backgarden! This was shot with a canon 40D @ 1/3 second exposure, f2.8, iso 400.

Taken on a trip to the islands of Azores. The picture is taken with a Canon EOS 450 and is the first picture I have uploaded so I hope you enjoy.

A cloudy morning on Auckland's Tamaki Drive, with a view of Rangitoto Island.

The good thing about waking up at 6am to see the glaciers at College Fjord is to witness the magnificent sunrise that goes with it. HDR image created from one RAW file processed in Lightroom and Photomatix and post processed in Photoshop.
