[GALLERY] Timo's Photography

Thanks guys!

Sunny the servers for modacity have switched and the subdomains (timo.modacity.net) haven't been moved across or something - they should be up sometime tomorrow if jcap knows what he's doing Since it's the summer holidays here I might setup my subdomain as a portfolio website. I'm horrible at making websites though, hopefully I can find a template online somewhere.

It's pretty neat to look back at what I was spitting out of my mum's old camera three years ago and compare it today. I didn't think i'd come this far at all.

Edit: The only one out of those three really worth uploading for a second time:

In all its uncropped glory. I should get rid of that little treeline at the bottom. Don't like cropping stuff D:

I love this picture, where do you find landscapes like that. AMAZING!

You must get me a picture of a GIANT WETA!!! So get your ass on an island with gigantism and wetas and get me picture. I bet you wont pick one up. I saw it as one of the species on wiki and I almost shat considering the only other insect I know thats big is the Camel Spider.

God thats an ugly insect, a giant cockroach cricket lol
E:

weta can be found in a variety of environments including alpine, forests, grasslands, caves, shrub lands and urban gardens.

In New Zealand btw

Wetas used to be pretty common in my area, but I haven't seen one (other than the small one I posted here) in years

Conservation

Although the weta had native predators in the form of birds, especially the weka and kiwi, reptiles and bats before the arrival of humans, introduced species such as cats, hedgehogs, rats (including kiore) and mustelids have caused a sharp increase in the rate of predation. They are also vulnerable to habitat destruction caused by humans and modification of their habitat caused by introduced browsers. New Zealand’s Department of Conservation considers that 16 of the 70 species of weta are now at risk. Programmes to prevent extinctions have been implemented since the 1970s.

That's the only thing I could find. I'd love to see one of these insects.

Here I am again bumping this topic from nowhere.

100mm f/2.8 for 1.3s

100mm f/32** for 480s

These are two shots on two different days of my sister's flat's deck in Wellington, the second biggest city in NZ. What I found weird is that these were two days apart - and the moon has shifted hugely to the right o_. (the building in the bottom center of the first is in the bottom left of the second).

Hopefully when I go back down there this weekend I can get up early enough for the sunrise, and go to this lookout point over the city:

So if you are still wondering, yes, New Zealand does have buildings higher that 6 stories.

You should grab a cheap lens, like the Canon 50mm f/1.8 http://www.amazon.com/Canon-50mm-1-8...0004693&sr=8-1, go raeging and take some pictures! You'd be surprised with what you can take - point it at the sky/horizon and leave it going for half an hour at night to catch the stars, or something. If it doesn't have a CF card they're ridiculously cheap now too.
