3:2, Colour, Portrait: In the bottom third road markings highlighted from the rain snake towards our central figure. A road maintenance worker in an orange boiler suit, white helmet and yellow ear defenders. They are using a steam lance to cut a hole in in some concrete that sits beneath the road. Out worker faces right, looks down the lane with the team hose running over their back. As our view pulls out we see a service truck on the right and behind our worker we see Dakogi Korean Fried Chicken in white writing on an orange sign that matches the boiler below. Pulling a little further back we see the vacuum pipe from the service truck run above our worker in a shape the echoes both the worker and the hose of the steam lance they are using. They say even a blind squirrel finds a nut once in a while. So here it is, I drove past on my way to shoot something else, I glanced to one side and said I should shoot that. I equivocated as its not really my style, but I turned back set up and got the shot I wanted on the sixth frame. I was drawn to the colours and the posture really unaware of the vacuum tube, call it luck call it intuition I don't care I really like this one. No work done in post apart from cropping. #Nikon #Urban #Street #Aotearoa #nz #Night #Nighttime

Night shot, Landscape 16:9 looking at a Laundromat Left side a car in shadow facing the viewer, parked in from of a blue wall downlit with a sigh stating prices. In the middle a doorway looking in to the brightly lit slightly yellowed laundromat your eye rests on a laundry basket next to the circles of dryers. On the right of the doorway is signage that says Northcote Laundromat beneath a block neon saying laundromat. The right fades into covered windows and negative space. Struck me as quite cinematic so I cropped it that way. the transition from blue to beige/yellow to dark has its appeal. The car lends balance to the shot somehow. What stories lay behind that door? Well I like it anyways> #Nikon #Photography
My Beautiful Laundromat.

Portrait 16:9 colour. Night-time shot middle third of the frame is taken up by an overbridge the inside of which is sodium lit on the left some concrete columns on the right concrete wall, through the tunnel has passed a bus which has left multiple LED trails in red sweeping through the curved space from right to left to right. In the foreground is grey tarmac marked with "bus only". In the top third two streetlights giving starbursts of white light. The overall effect is a coloured tunnel in a dark grey space. This may be my best shot yet, it is easily my best night shot. #photography #Nikon
Black and white landscape golden ratio, high contrast: Young lady with dark hair walking away from the camera on an enclosed walkway over a motorway. The crossway is glazed on left and right with window framing making up regular lines in the glass. on the left you can see the young lady's reflection in the glass on the right the emphasis is on a railing at waist height, because the lines are compressed. The whole frame converges on a square of bright light at the end of the tunnel. On the floor the lines of the window frames cast regular, angular shadows on a concrete floor. Our young lady is wearing a light, layered, full length summer skirt the softness of which contrasts with the regularity of the surroundings.

Reach for the skies
View into an orange tree the branches of which are dragged down by the weight of the fruit. Glossy dark green leaves surround everything, a tiny bit of sky is visible in the top half.
Still can’t get over these colours 🧡🌱🍊
