This old house was once the residence of a teacher, the school house is to the right out of frame. One from my series of #Rankencloud photographs.

In camera multiple exposure. I carry the image of the cloud with me on a separate camera card and expose onto it when I am moved to.

The Central Otago landscape was made famous by paintings made by Grahame Sydney. Many artists have followed him. There is something special about the big open skies and the amazing clouds. In this case Rankencloud was the star.

An early morning drive to Twiuzel from Queenstown with #Rankencloud in my camera. There is an Andrew Wyeth feel to this shot that I love.

This is an image from 2003 when Mike and I first moved to NZ. It is a copy from a darkroom print. At the time I was shooting on an old Lubitel 120 film camera. Making multiple exposures to film. The Photograph was made in Milford Sound and Mike Langford is the man under the Umbrella.

Photographed in 2005 to film using a Mamiya 7 rangefinder camera. This building is still standing but the painting of the Moa in the window is fading. It such a simple shot but many times it is the simple shot that needs to be made. Allowing the subject to be on centre stage.

2005 Before Canon launched it’s 5DMKIII I was unable to make my digital multiple exposures in camera unless I shot with film. So in this case I played a little in the computer to hone my skills for when I could make them in camera digitally.

The most important thing for me was to evoke a feeling and emotion with this image. This part of the forrest on Queenstown Hill is quite spooky.

When I look at this print which hangs proudly in our home I think of the day it was shot. We were with a good photography friend called Richard White and had taken him into Skipopers Canyon for a day of photography. He was shooting on a 4x5 field camera (large format film camera) and had also noticed this cloud developing above the mountains. But my the time he had set up his camera and focused the cloud had disappeared.

I have never seen a cloud like this again, it was magical.

I have travelled through the Nevis valley many many times, but on this day the faces in the rocks were so visible.

These windswept trees found in The Southern Tip of New Zealand’s South Island have so much character. I left the empty space above the tree top to make the head of the tree stronger.

2018 Walking over this black sanded beach in The catlins I stopped to study the lines made by some kelp that had washed up.

Shooting with my monochrome picture style and zooming in close helped me to abstract the shinny surface of the kelp from the sand. Then with my 100-400 mm lens I made this spiral multiple exposure by moving the lens around its collar.

A late afternoon shot of this famous landmark in Otago.

My son James posed for me to make this in camera multiple exposure of his face over an unfinished carving of a Buddah.

An image made while travelling as a passenger in a car. I call this technique #Driveby. This print has had a layer of Encaustic wax applied over the top. While the wax was still warm and soft I applied a series of vertical lines and filled those lines with black indian ink. This was then wiped off leaving traces for the viewer to enjoy.
