62. Venus from Te Rewa Rewa bridge
An inspiring new structure, after dark; noise, scale and safety
57. At Swim Three Birds, Lake Taupo
From a pier on a rainy summer’s evening; an experiment with flash, tungsten and long exposure
56. Tree ferns and moonlit mountain, Koru Rd
Combining flashlight with moonlight; controlling the effect by ISO adjustment
55. Twilight surf from the Waitoetoe cliffs
A big view on big film; monochrome surf in extended exposure; vertical compositions
A daylight effect and a sea change with long exposure; simplicity as a composition cue
53. Lakeside reeds, Kaihoka, by moonlight
Blowing in the wind on a sandy shore; the perils of calendar picture selection

Simple but fast-moving monochrome composition, in a square format.
38. Mt Taranaki at twilight, from Junction Rd
Finding depth in a wide angle view; the challenge of a square format

The big camera out on a wind-swept beach, well before full moon.
