An Evening Adventure

Daily Photo – An Evening Adventure

One of the shorter excursions on my photo workshop last week was a little trip out to capture the view above Queenstown. Always a lovely view!

Voyager

Saw this last week but was busy doing the workshop. It’s pretty crazy that there’s tech out there, older than the Atari 2600 (as one example), doing all sorts of cool space science stuff but that they can fix it from 15 billion miles away is so cool. Well done NASA people!

Weird Coincidence

Daily Photo – Weird Coincidence

It occurred to me when I was doing the last few posts that new cameras seem to align with workshops/photo adventures. Venice was the H5D, for example, or like here where the 80 Stays Europe tour started in Portugal and was a mix of workshops and photo walks. That was my first real use of the X1D. Now, with the current NZ photo adventure which is just wrapping up it was my first proper “project” with the a7CR. Weird that it works out like that.

Daily Photo – Another Day Another Workshop

This time we’re over in Venice which was a really fun adventure and where, as well as doing a workshop, we recorded a full-length photo tutorial series. Productive!

Keeping with the workshop/photo adventure theme, here’s a shot from the trip I ran to Botswana a few years back. A great group of photographers and an epic time!
