I’ve recently discovered the joys of morning photography again. When I say recently, I mean the last seven days. I would like to put forward the argument that until now I never really had time in the mornings to think about taking photos however that would be a straight out lie. The fact is, I like sleeping in and being a creature of habit it’s too much effort to change my routines. So, having not so long ago changed jobs, I found myself with an extra few minutes in the morning last week and naturally I decided to fill that time chasing the morning light. I had spent the earlier part of the week exploring the way old buildings in the central city as the first rays of light hit the old gothic structures that are a part of the Dunedin CBD. A few days later as the dawn broke on Thursday, I felt a yearning to see what the beach was like. Having arrived at St Kilda Beach and parked my car a suitable distance from anyone else to avoid getting drawn into time wasting chit-chat, I changed lenses, adjusted camera settings and I happily stepped out of the car. I would like to be able to say it was a warm, still morning, but I can’t. That would be another lie! The sea looked a tiny bit angry, the wind a tiny bit annoyed and the temperature on the chilly side. If the morning weather was a person, you might say they seemed a bit miffed! On a side note, and if you will indulge me for a moment, I do so like the words chit-chat and miffed. Oddly, these are words that for some reason make me smile. Try and use the words chit-chat in a sentence without smiling. I bet you can’t! John's Blog https://blog.caswellimages.com/ The latest print price guide: https://bit.ly/3oLw9OI

These Memories Past Are Not Forgotten A Walk In Port Chalmers The origin of this anchor is unknown however because of it's location of the Otago Heads it became known as "The Nineteen Fathom Foul". According to the plaque, it's underwater location caused many problems for vessels including a drowning and much loss of gear. In the background is the memorial to Captain Robert Falcon Scott, Dr Edward Wilson, Captain Lawrence Oates, Lieutenant Henry Bowers and Petty Officer Edgar Evans who left the port on the Terra Nova for the South Pole on 19th November 1910. Of course we all know how that tale ends. John's Blog https://blog.caswellimages.com/ The latest print price guide: https://bit.ly/3oLw9OI
