Just a quick image from tonight’s full eclipse of the moon. Only a JPEG at this stage.

Will get to the RAW images later on.

Bioluminescence

The bright blue light that you see here is Bioluminescence. This is a striking blue light emitted by tiny creatures. Here in New Zealand, on the shores, If you are lucky enough, you can view them while the waves break and spread on the shore.

This requires a pitch black environment.
That’s a wonderful presentation of the psychedelic colours that we have here in Aotearoa.

Taken last week, with Tokina over GFX100s.

Just an excerpt with the miraculous GFX ecosystem.

I have just released a new review article. Mounted on the monstrous GFX100s, the Tokina atx-i 100mm F/2.8 Macro Plus lens produces wonders with extreme sharpness.

*** Preferably viewed on a good computer screen rather than on mobile devices.

Enjoy.

I reviewed the Tokina atx-i 100mm f/2.8 Macro Plus lens on the Medium Format Fujifilm GFX100s. Guess what! It is AMAZING!!!

Hello gorgeous people!

A week ago I participated as a media personnel for an air show. That was not the very first one that I attended, of course.

Some truly aggressive marketing efforts of some camera body manufacturers have penetrated so hard into new photographers' minds that I simply had to correct them on the spot.

Yes, photography can definitely be very expensive, let alone professional photography gear. But with the honed-up skills, I do get results that are deemed as (almost) impossible with non-sports cameras.

Just to make sure: I do have sports cameras. I simply did not have to use any of them here. They stayed in the bag!
Skills before technology. Remember this!
Taken with a Medium Format!

Enjoy

I am writing a review on a Tokina lens these days.

I add images there from that specific lens on a Medium Format camera, which means a huge sensor size, much bigger than the "ordinary" sensor. I hate using the words "normal" or "ordinary" because these days, nothing is truly ordinary or normal. Right?

I was trying to upload the best file onto the Facebook ecosystem here, but the file size is so big, no matter what I do in order to shrink it down. So I have to apologize for having much lesser image quality here on Facebook.

Despite that, though, I am happy to see that the sharpness of the lens shows up through that secada's shell.

Taken handheld!

Enjoy

Summer is almost over here in Kiwiland. The sun has been gradually starting to shine later in the morning hours on each and every following day.

It’s colder. Yes.

Today, it was simply the most beautiful double rainbow that I have ever seen in my life; yet, I’ve seen thousands.

The extremely vivid rainbow hypnotised me, to be honest. The contrast with the dark cloud behind it made it even more special.

So, this one is just to share this special moment with you all.

Enjoy.

Name of Work: Shine Like A Diamond!

Rolls-Royce, probably THE ultimate symbol of luxury and status. What a gorgeous piece of art! The name brings people's minds to totally different places.

I had the opportunity to capture in very close proximity for quite a long time (literally a few centimetres away) this magnificent robust luxury car. In my art, I saw it as a BnW subject that depicts eternity. The golden symbol at the front of the car, and one of my mates (hi Rich) standing there and taking some shots of myself taking shots of the car; oh, the gravity that this symbol has is beyond compare.

Sturdiness, brilliance, honour.

Enjoy!
