NZPhotographer Issue 31, May 2020

I have found a passion in photographing
architectural lines, shapes and symmetry,
often in a creative manner, and this passion
is what I try to communicate in my work.
My career as an airline pilot, albeit recently
retired, has afforded me the opportunity to
capture wonderful architecture overseas,
and with retirement I am now exploring
more of what we have here in NZ.

REFLECTED ARCHITECTURE
My love of lines and symmetry is fully expressed in
capturing reflections of architecture.
These 4 images are from New Zealand, the cityscape
ones are by Shed 6 on Wellington’s waterfront, and
the two single shots of a building are from the Wynyard
Quarter in Auckland.
The challenge with natural puddle reflections is that one
has to make do with what is found, and sometimes the
angle or distance is not ideal. I get great satisfaction out
of making them in camera and shoot with a wide angle
lens either a 12mm or, sometimes, a 16mm lens.
One of the things I love about reflections is that often
a different overall shape is created, giving the image
greater depth. I do spend quite a bit of time post
processing them to clean up the reflection
