Hello AJ! Yup, 2 hours after sunset. Most of it's actually fairly light but I added a dark vignette to burn the edges in a bit more. In hindsight, I think 8 minutes may have been overkill, but I really wanted to push the sensor to test noise. As it turned out, it was pretty bloody good!

Excellent. Did you enhance the grain in pp? Wonderful work and nice use of cinematic borders.

Just look at that fantastic colour saturation! Way to go Ray, the clarity is amazing. Srna is a lucky lady and I'm certain she will be delighted with your dedication.
Sweet kisses to you xx.

Thanks Rog. The only one I managed to take that night because I didn't start shooting early enough. Weather coming in on left would have stuffed the star trails.

Ah, I wondered what the darkness was in the background of the previous shot.
Not boring at all. And they work well when viewed as a series.

Look at it for long enough and I start to see shapes in the fog. Of course, there isn't really anything there. Only my imagination running away with me.
Perfect composition, no distractions. Just zone out.

G'day Mark!
Cool idea and way to make everyone drool over your new best friend ;) I want one!
I hadn't realised initially that it was a picture. Thought you may have selectively desaturated the background. It looks like the shadow of a standing figure across the bed and back wall, so with your hand in the foreground, I'm fooled into thinking you're actually in that room.
Clever work!

"Twas not I dear Ray ;) I had a lovely young model by the name of Holly, helping me out that day. And yes, it was an absolutely miserable day at the beach. Lucky for me :)
Hugs and kisses straight back at ya!

My first thought was how the heck did she get there without being soaked? Then I realised (from bottom-right edge) it was shallow water. I'd be tempted to crop in a little tighter for a more surreal look.
Amazing series you have on the dancers. Awesome work to browse through!
Cheers and thanks for your great comment!

Great quote Andre. Love the purity in this image. It just speaks for itself. No need for fancy hdr or pp. It breathes. Nice work.

Interesting. Have you tried cropping from the top, effectively eliminating dead space? I've scrolled the image up in my browser, and I feel like I'm getting a totally different image that way. Say 120px from the top?

Hello Rachel! Love the perspective on this, nice work.
Great to hear your experience was a good one. It really is an amazing place. I'm always blown away by the dramatic scenery here. Like you, NZ isn't my home either but I've been living here for 7 years. I still miss it when I have to go away for periods of time though. Where else can you get a crazy mix of surf, mountains and cow country all in one shot? :)
Cheers and thanks for your comment!

My goodness Avi, you're work has come along so well. Superb fine details here and excellent tones.
I think the last time I had the pleasure of visiting, you were in the middle of an alphabet theme? Wonderful to see such diversity, and high quality imagery in your portfolio!
Wow.

Thanks Andre. The shots you can find on the net are all pretty much 'tourist' shots, so I was trying to avoid that look. There's no real good way of photographing these rocks though, that will show just how immense they really are.
