Yes, this is another attempt at "straight" photography. I'm not entirely sure what that means but this is Puke Ariki Landing in New Plymouth. Puke Ariki is also our Information Centre and Museum and is joined to the library by a glass covered walkway.
Taken again with the Zenitar 50mm Fish Eye/Wide Angle lens...and despite not being creepy or gloomy, best on black. Go figure.
I am a confirmed and certifiable nutbar with a penchant for skulls, bones, blood, guts, fire and anything slightly peculiar and mostly bizarre. I also...
@maggiemae I believe it translates as "Hill of Chiefs"..and yet the mayors office is at the other end of town. Go Figure. @northy Yes, it's definitely not pronounced "puke"...more of "pooki" @susanalena Thank you very much...I was outside!!! @annied That's me, and thanks, I arranged special @rosiekerr It was terrifying!!!!!!
@karlow75 Thanks - I need to get some practice in with this "normal" photography lark. @taffy Thank you - I'm not sure what to make it of it either. I'm also not sure how long it will last.
@888rachel I know, I know...I went outside!!! Terrifying! @alinz Less of a need, more of a loss of inspiration at the moment. And a loss of time for elaborate set ups at the moment!
What is this!? I leave for a few days... and come back to find this "straight photography" stuff all over my home feed. ;)
But actually, I 100% understand the lack of time. I find I'm mostly missing a lack of roommates... they don't much appreciate my elaborate photo shoot set ups taking over the whole room. Also probably don't like hearing the shutter click one hundred times in the middle of the night when I'm still up and they're trying to sleep... :-D
Cool building....interesting fence....frankly, I would have just cropped to the building itself and gotten rid of all the extraneous things on the right, but I can see why you would want to keep them to show the fisheye effect....cool stairs, dramatic sky....it's good to get outside once in a while....I get claustrophobic inside!
