Step one, get back out there and start shooting again... It has certainly been a while! A little trail run around central... I'm now looking fowards to a revisit :) There is something mesmerizing about the neon lit night. #overdue #xt2 #myfujiphotos #fujifilmnz #citylights #nightshot (at Auckland, New Zealand) https://www.instagram.com/p/BnL_z0BFdsm/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1vsdouyxlqv28

Fire-Water. There is great beauty in imperfection. This is another one of those spare of the moment captures (14th Jan 2018). The tide was out and I had little time. On my way to a previously tested spot, I happened to spot this little nook (and closer to home still!). Sure theres some man made elements, and this will only get worse in time. Instead of taking a picture perfect shot. This is rather a time stamp of the current era. I may revisit this spot... I've some serious solid filters that need at least a 'shot', and perhaps some company 😉 I'm starting to build a collection of true images, that really are perfect for my artist side (@artistsic) more on that soon :) #sunset #reflections #fire #gold #sky #silhouette #photography #urban #landscape #xseriesnz #myfujiphotos #fujixlovers #xt1 #birds #local @beholderglass (at Papakura, New Zealand)

Big Brother The silent observer. Looking fowards to a decent play with a speed light and ring attachment... more for objects (though it's a chunky contraption!) Interesting catch light none the less :) Editing and related is still on the bucket list. #eye #of #artistsic #old #photography #noir #camerashy #shan #bigbrother #fujixlovers #fujifilmnz #xt1 #xseriesnz @beholderglass

Conifer Grove Sunset 2nd Dec 2017. I loved capturing my first sunset. I decided to avoid using filters and the superwide as a first. Looking forwards to some eventual editing and merging, as a result of the stack of images captured (this is one of them). I now have some original scenes to create with my spraypaint art side too! #sunset #twilight #golden #beach #wharf #silhouette #reflections #summer #xseriesnz #auckland #newzealand #myfujiphotos #fujixlovers #xt1 @beholderglass @artistsic (at Conifer Grove)

I can see why people go to great lengths to capture the magical time of the glorious gold. A first time, I decided to do without filters. Instead, taking multiple shots at different exposures and focus distance. I now have a a fair collection awaiting for when I can merge them! #sunset #beach #firsttime #fujixlovers #xseriesnz #filterless #wharf #gold (at Conifer Grove)

Dead Vessel. Fujinon 100mm f2.8 (with the 11mm macro tube) wide open, at night, in a poor lit situation (handheld). It seems this ol beat up keeper is worthy of further exploration and light... and fair bit of maintenance! I have a feeling I will be dabbling with lowkey shots a bit.

Sub-Lime. Celebrations are in the air for a majority, we tend to grace our homes, with an evergreen (sometimes adorned in snow) an icon of Yuletide. Here, where cloud stretches long, we are graced with lush, full, summer leaves. In contrast to the bare, the deciduous, a skeletal dormant frame. A sight to behold. #golden #lime #elm #tree #summer #photography #myfujiphotos #xseriesnz #fujifilmnz #xt1 @beholderglass

Hitch. Keen to shoot some original VW rims (hubbed, curved, clean cut... without me in the frame!) less the bullet holes too. Despite being over cars and the like and for good reason. These round legged critters have some amazing artistic potential, curves, reflections and what not. A chrome bowl and a 180° security mirror may well be the ticket for a perspective I've been eager to embrace. #beetle #potential #photography #vw #reflex #wideangle #thumbsout #chrome #myfujiphotos #xseriesnz #xt1 (at Papakura, New Zealand)

Testing out a macro tube... and this guy jumps out. One second, and hes off! Unexpected, and extremely fortunate to get focus on him immedialy (despite the shallow depth of feild) 😃 #money #spider #prime #random #quickshot #myfujiphotos #xseriesnz #photography #extensiontube @beholderglass (at Papakura, New Zealand)
