Waiting for tsunami

I’ve heard an opinion that Russians in New Zealand have forgotten how to grill shashlik. I’m proud to say we haven’t! 🙂 * * *

To finalise my previous post about a photo shoot with members of local camera club I publish today two my shots of the model. Colin used a flash and Nicola hold it but I had to shoot without any flash. And I glad to realize that my D300 works great! I touched “Sergeant” with some […]

Today I was involved in photo session. A President of the local photo club invited me to catch up and took some shots of a model. It was great time for me to see how to work with models, how to arrange assistants, how to manage hand-held flashes (in assistant’s hand). I was really impressed […]

A couple is making home video. I guess they are tourists inspired by a beautiful view of Rangitoto Island in Waitemata Harbour. No one can resist to take a picture or record a couple of minutes of this icon of Auckland. * * *

Here is one of central beaches of Auckland. It’s Mission Bay. It’s very popular place to walk, to ride a bike, to swim, to have a picnic, to dine etc. We come there usually to walk along coastal line but Anton rides his bike. Despite overcast day and a smell of rain it was very […]

Once I was a witness of a terror. Two very fit men in black wet suits jumped to water and quick swam toward a cruise ship. The ship went along a waterway from port of Auckland and two swimmers reached the ship very fast. Unfortunately a battery in my camera got flat when they blown […]

A fountain at Mission Bay is one of very few fountains in Auckland and probably it’s the largest fountain in Auckland. In hot summer day it cools down air around and gives kids a place to play and swim. * * *

A car, a ballustrade, chairs, a table… What something common between them is? Their curiosity is 🙂 Despite that the car looks very nice and fresh 🙂 * * *

Sometimes (not very often but we could we wish) we have a walk with Anton around our place. Anton rides his bike and we just walking. In the far side of the circle track there is a deck with beautiful view. There is a stream, a very small waterfall, a peaceful back-water and a palm. […]

On last weekend we were invited to join to friends party. For dessert we had very nice cake “New Zealand”. * * *
