#NZpicoftheday

Having just returned from New Zealand where we an amazing time was had and spurned on by Mr Dan Slee; Instead of attempting to write a rambling blog post about everything we did and saw that will never get finished and hence will never get posted, for the next few weeks – maybe even months I will instead be posting a photograph a day here.

It will be cross posted here from my Flickr page, where it will also post to my Twitter stream using the #NZpicoftheday tag, Finally I’ll add it to my Facebook page so If you forget to visit here – there are plenty of other places for you to see them.

The first will come later as I’m just too damn jet – lagged right now to even contemplate it!!

Breaking the rules

Playing with the sun

I love my camera, I just always wish I was more proficient with it, so I’ve been reading lots and lots of articles to try and improve, The most recent one about shooting into the sun so I thought I’d give it a go.

Generally the rule is shoot with the sun over your shoulder, so it felt a little odd blinding myself through the viewfinder but I persevered took a couple and this one was my favourite.

I’m not 100% happy with it but I’m not sure what it is that I’m unhappy with maybe it’s just that I’m not used to deliberately creating glare or maybe it would have worked better had the blonde kid being looking towards the camera?  I don’t know but I  guess I’ll carry on reading and shoot some more, dragging my ever (un)willing test subject out again to try and find out.
