David some very weird images you shot in a odd place. But I like them. Would like to go there and see what I could do with a place like that. Thanks for posting them. T
Thank you for taking the time to look Tim. I was visiting a friend in Wales recently and we went out shooting locally all day, and he knew exactly where to be and at what time to get some really nice landscapes. I have been wondering if I could do that here and what is truly iconic about New Zealand landscape. I find it really hard to see with new eyes what is around me all the time. Anyway, once I got past sheep, my answer to what is iconic here is spooky windblown macrocarpas. So I am combining the two. I was originally going to call the series “The secret lives of sheep”, but some images are turning out weird enough to stand alone I think. The first one is at davidsutton.naturescapes.net under “Symmetromania”. I haven't been there for a while and need to delete the also-rans.
The first two and numbers 5 and 6 were shot around Slope point in the Catlins and the west side of Invercagill. Number six I straightened the trees a little, as in print they didn't look believable. I need to get back there again, as you never know with farmland whether the trees will still be there if the farmer has had extra orders for firewood.
