I haven't been on this forum for many months and looked in today. I was very sad to learn of Shaun's passing; he always commented on my images in a friendly positive way and I enjoyed his posts just as much. My sympathies and thoughts for his family and friends.
We have had a very cool wet environment in New Zealand in recent times, last summer (22), autumn and winter were quite depressing with many floods. It is looking like a big change this spring and summer so far with the garden looking bright colorful and productive.
My goal is to present images of objects and places as naturally as possible with minimal post processing. I hope the natural qualities will come through for the viewer with a little contemplation.
