3 Degrees Centigrade with the Milky Way

Posted on by

It’s been a while since our last post.  We’ve had a major project on the go (all to be revealed in the coming months).  We’ve got a few walkabouts to catch up on and of course a few week’s of Mini Men roundups, but we thought we’d start with this wee gem from this morning.

Milky Way over the Estuary

It’s currently the start of Winter here and as the title suggests it was very cold out this morning – but what better weather for a clear sky and a very visible Milky Way.

There is quite a bit of geometric distortion in the image, which has been left in so the Milky Way doesn’t get cropped out.  Does this count as a reason for purchasing a wide angle lens? 🙂

This wee fella is a Kea.  A New Zealand native alpine parrot.  We’ve seen many Kea before, they’re usually found in alpine environments of the South Island which are some of our favourite areas – such as Fiordland National Park and Arthur’s Pass.

This is our second gallery post for this week’s Wordpress Weekly Photo Challenge.  These photos are more focused on the people rather than the streets and buildings.

Weekly Photo Challenge: Street Life – Streets and Places

Posted on by

This week’s Weekly Challenge was one of our favourite topics, and something we don’t get to cover often enough.  We couldn’t narrow the choices down enough so we’re breaking our entry into two this week.

The first submission is a selection of streets and places.

What a great topic for us to test the Weekly Challenge waters.  Here are a few of our reflections shots:

Layton’s Walkabout in Dunedin

Posted on by

For the most part this wasn’t really a walkabout, more a drive-about – but the same concept.  Layton tried to take a break from the Miniature Men last weekend, unfortunately they had other ideas as you can see with the photo bomb below.

As mentioned in our previous post we’re going to be posting some of Layton’s artistic work on here with a tagline Layton’s Walkabouts.

Here are the first group of images – taken around Invercargill and Bluff on the 2nd of Jan.
