Impressionist Photography

          I went on holiday to Ohiwa Harbour a week ago. Holidays are great for aiding creativity.
          Below are my impressions of one of the most beautiful places in New Zealand.
           Enjoy.

      These shots were taken out of a moving car on dusk

        Don't worry I was not driving.

       I love the way the trees shatter during the car movement.

     The ghostly images to me are more interesting than a realistic landscape.

    With my photography I prefer to dwell in the land of the unknown or the imaginary.

    This one looks moody and  like a storm was coming , yet it was taken  on a perfect Autumn evening

   The beautiful, smooth flowing expanse of water

     like liquid gold

     It could almost be a moonscape.

If you want to try this you need a co-operative driver, my  husband is always accommodating and even offers to stop the car occasionally.
I used a 50 mm prime lens on aperture 4 and in some cases left it under exposed by one stop.

It's best to do it in the golden hour around sunset.
Early morning is good as well.
