This evening, I co-hosted a photo walk with Richard Young, for members of the Wellington Photography Meetup Group. The weather started off pretty rough today, and in the morning I was pessimistic, thinking the walk might have to be reduced to being from Wellington Photographic Supplies on Vivian St to the bar 100m away in Pirie St. But the sun came out and the high, thin cloud made for perfect photographic light. Later, the wind dropped and the cloud disapperaed altogether, By that time, though, we were heading into The Hop Garden (actually a separate Meetup event).

This walk was better-attended than the one a fortnight ago, which is a good sign for the group. It was sociable, relaxing and enjoyable. Thank you all for joining in.

Below is a selection of my photos, and there will hopefully be some other peoples' linked to the event listing in the Meetup group. If this sort of thing interests you, please join the Meetup group. It's free. Enjoy.

Note; these photos, as you can see, are just 'straight'. They're edited (selected) in Lightroom then just tweaked for exposure, and given minor cropping and straightening. I'm personally not a fan of digital filter effects.

I've just axed the 'News' section of this site, as it wasn't being used, and replaced it with this blog.
Last Thursday, December 1st 2016, I co-hosted a photo walk with Richard Young, for members of the Wellington Photography Meetup Group. We left from Wellington Photographic Supplies store on Vivian St, strolled up and around Tory St then spread out over the new Pukeahu National War Memorial Park at the base of Mt Cook. As you can see, Wellington turned on perfect conditions for the event and it was most pleasant, relaxing and sociable.
