Stepping Ttones captured at the South Island's Lake Tekapo, actually... captured IN Lake tekapo as I had my trousers rolled up to me knees to get to the point I wanted for this show and yes, the water was a tad cold. I love Tekapo, you'll no doubt notice that time and again as you go through the site and the images. It's such a wonderful place full of stunning beauty and has a lovely calm about it.
I love the clearness of the water and the sky here, they just seem to balance nicely for me with the hills and tree's in the middle creating a nice separation.
It's actually a faily old image to be honest but it's on of those imaegs that every time i see it I love it. So much so that I have a 1.5 meter wide canvas version up on my wall at home.
So these are my daughters shoes, her second pair of shoes to be exact as she was only about 14 months old at the time of owning there.
I was playing with my new 50mm lens and was looking to do something a little different from my norm, Landscapes being my norm. I saw them laying around and actually spent a good 5 minutes just looking at them and trying to figure out what to do before picking up the camera. I didn't move the shoes I just hunkered down on my belly and off I went. 5 minutes later i had my daughter climbing on my back wanting to play and see the pictures on the camera. I spent about 30 mins playing with this in Photoshop (yes I do use it from time to time) and got to the image that I had in my head. I have to say i quite like it & think it's a little quirky, but that could just be me.
