Thread: Photos your proud of -not just hunting

I haven't been doing too much photography since the holiday last year. Done a lot more video with the DSLR and just not much still photography. I managed to take these over the last couple of weekends though:

Great shot that first one Gillie.

Heres a few photos I've taken over the last few years.. They were all taken using a compact camera so some of them are a bit grainy.

Lake Pukaki

Alexandra over Easter, snapped via iphone as a passenger while the car was screaming around the corner

Locked on point, nose to nose with a red hind that was trying to catch some z's in the gorse.
It's on paper so I should scan it sometime.

That would of been 1980, there was a bowl over at Glenfield and 1 in Ponsonby and of course Skatopia at Rainbows end. Grew up in that immediate area. New Lynn primary. Blockhouse bay Intermediate and then Kelston Boys. I did my apprenticeship in Portage rd. Home Turf I guess
