Monochrome

Context;
Experimenting with monochrome after a visit to Ilan Wittenberg's website and is very impressed with the monochrome photos. Try and try again was a factor in my search for that certain monochrome finish I was after and I believe I am well on my way to achieving that look. At this stage, I think, texture and contrast needs work to add depth to my images.

Bushwalk Bridge

Content;
Scouting for a unique and eye catching photographic scenes under the guise of a visit to Totara Park in Manurewa with the family for bush walk and swim. A kiwi nature environment with walkways and tracks situated in an urban situation with unique indigenous fauna and birds species with a public swimming pool along with a private conference and restaurant facilities. Some pretense of exercising and hiking.

Summer Bombs

Form;
Canon 60D with Tamron 10-24mm wide angle lens for distorted images and warped lines, 50mm kit lens for true images with minimal distortion and monopod for stability during very slow shutter speed experiments. Family at hand as readily available, unpaid models and some kids who happen to be swimming at the time. The pattern forms of the various natural fauna and the tracks and bridges and the undulating hills along with the conflicting and complementing textures, The dated restaurant building with it's 1920s architecture made for a fetching photograph. An abandon water tower, overgrown with trees and bush created an infinity and distorted image.
