    What is Lawrence up to - 2015?

    Spotted this on my walk this afternoon. Obviously someone enjoyed every last chip (french fries) that came out of it.

    What is Lawrence up to - 2015?

    Yesterday on my way back from New Plymouth I ambled. Calling in at virtually every little beach and tourist site for a photo opportunity. For this photo I am far too embarrassed to tell you how far out of my way it was! However if you don't go you will never know. Access to the falls was...

    What is Lawrence up to - 2015?

    Thanks @Eyelight - it's close but not quite what I was trying to bring out. Not sure if it is the composition (which I suspect with all the bush on the side) or the processing.

    What is Lawrence up to - 2015?

    The story so far ... I never thought I would enjoy macro but since getting my Tamron 90mm for portraiture I have almost got hooked. However I have discovered that the DOF in macro is a major challenge. Thinking it might be the lens, but hoping it was me, I have sent a few messages to some very...

    eBay Is a Minefield ...

    I read a post here about the Nikon D700 and out of interest went to price one on our local "Trade Me" site. There is one for sale at over NZ$2000.00 - quite a bit over. So now I am interested to see what these things go for and head over to eBay. Blow me down - heaps of them on there. But...

    Invisible Black Backgounds

    Sure. Note how sharp the entire black background is - I guess because of the high (narrow) aperture. :) In all seriousness this was an awesome "Ah ha!" moment for me whereby I realised that mistakes should be viewed as a learning curve as in: "OK what did I do to get that result, and how can...

    What is Lawrence up to - 2015?

    Graffiti Because of this weeks competition I went in search of graffiti and came across some beautiful stuff that had been allowed and approved by the town council. I guess the theory is if you can't beat them join them - and they may do something good. Well they did but unfortunately that...

    Weekly Challenge Jan. 28 - Feb. 4 Topic: Graffiti

    OK I think we are definitely on time to get this week's show on the road. My entry also proves that all graffiti is not created by vindictive vandals - some like this and many more, which I will post on my thread, are simply amazing. A true talent in doing this in my opinion. I got this one...

    Blacktops 365 for 2015.

    I LR crop to level the top of the gate and Lens Correction to straighten pole. This leaves the right hand post of the gat a bit off which I am pretty sure can be fixed in PS.
