Just the one extra this week taken down at the river during a lovely family outing.

365 Photo Challenge – Week 21 Extras
It’s not much but we’ll take it. This week’s extras are from the snow day in Invercargill. Only one of these featured in the 365 Photo Challenge as an extra, but we figured we’d include the set in this post.
365 Photo Challenge – Week 20 Extras
Week 20 was a big week for extras in the Challenge. Continue reading
365 Photo Challenge – Week 19 Extras
Whilst in Dunedin, Layton took the opportunity to do a wee morning walkabout. The full set of these photos is still to come, in the meantime here is the one he chose as an extra for his 365 Photo Challenge.
For those interested in the settings he used:
He didn’t have his tripod for this shot so pushed the ISO to 3200, the shot was taken at 1/60th second at f2.8.
365 Photo Challenge – Week 18 Extras
The bonus image for Week 18 was another Aurora Australis. As mentioned in Week 18’s post, Week 18 was largely about Layton’s Favourite Things. This image shows one of his favourite things to photograph.
For anyone that’s interested, here are the settings used for this image:
Nikon D800
Nikkor 24-70mm f2.8 ED
24mm
ISO 800
15 second
f2.8
365 Photo Challenge – Week 17 Extras
The long weekend break over Easter allowed Layton a bit of time to get out on a couple of walkabouts. These pictures were a couple of his favourites from these outings and were included in his 365 Challenge as Extras this week.
Both have been taken early morning in Invercargill.
365 Photo Challenge – Week 16 Extras
A couple of extras from Week 16. The first is Easter flooding on the Taieri Plains (just South of Dunedin), the second is just before dawn at one of Layton’s favourite photography spots – the Invercargill Estuary walkway.
365 Photo Challenge – Week 15 Extra
As a wee added extra to Week 15 Layton also posted this image from an afternoon out being devoured by insects at Dunsdale, Southland.
A rare afternoon off spent experimenting with long exposures.
3 Degrees Centigrade with the Milky Way
It’s been a while since our last post. We’ve had a major project on the go (all to be revealed in the coming months). We’ve got a few walkabouts to catch up on and of course a few week’s of Mini Men roundups, but we thought we’d start with this wee gem from this morning.
It’s currently the start of Winter here and as the title suggests it was very cold out this morning – but what better weather for a clear sky and a very visible Milky Way.
There is quite a bit of geometric distortion in the image, which has been left in so the Milky Way doesn’t get cropped out. Does this count as a reason for purchasing a wide angle lens? 🙂
Auckland Skyline Experiments
After reading a few tips and tricks recently Layton’s been experimenting with a little bit of Photoshop trickery. Here are a couple of the results:
