Leave a Light on For Me
Here’s one the final exposures I made on my workshops in New Zealand this October. It’s the iconic Lake Matheson on the west coast, although I can’t recall ever seeing a night photograph of this location. The artificial lights annoyed me to no end at the time but somehow as a Christmas shot, they seem to work quite well.
Canon 5DMkII, 16-35mm 2.8L, ISO 400, f2.8, 29 seconds.
Thanks to everyone for their support over the year.
In case you missed these, here are some recent articles featuring my work.
The first is an interview on Dreamerlandscape a website run by a very talented group of Italian landscape photographers. It’s in both English and Italian.
The second is my photo essay for Ma Vie Francaise. It’s called “French Perspectives : Paris but not as you know it” and features unusual takes on some popular Parisian locations.
Nice stuff kit – its a great little spot on there, myself and a friend, Lee Duguid actually set out to do some star trails there in 2006 with moderate success – realized after 45 minutes of exposure (and fast draining battery) that the lens had completely fogged over!
Fortunately we had a few beers cooling in the icy water to drown the sorrows and managed to salvage this one:

Hope you had a great Xmas and New Year.
