Light and colour - the two main ingredients for a great photo
Using my digital camera I hope to convey in this journal the wonder and joy of living in a beautiful and mysterious land called New Zealand.

St Clair Beach Poles in Low Light
Taken while trying out a new camera (minolta 7d) in low light. A surprisingly good result for a novice SLR user and now one of my favs
Blackhead Beach in Daylight
There are a number of sunset photos of this beach in my photostream on flickr that I thought it was about time there was a photo of Blackhead beach in daylight. This is one of Dunedins longest beaches. The name comes from the headland and quarry behind the camera where black basalt rock is extracted. I think the rock is crushed and used for road construction. The town of Brighton lies south of Dunedin in the distance.

University Autumn Pano
I don't do a lot of Black and white but this seemed to convert nicely so I thought I should put it on show. On the left is the University clocktower and registry. In the middle is the Leith river which runs through the middle of the entire campus.
Incidentally I still see a great future for black and white photography in the digital era.
University Music Dept in Autumn
I must have photographed this building hundreds of times but I really like the autumn colours of this one
