I keep re-visiting these to try and get the most out of the processing. Quite pleased with this one (I think!)
Jack was playing at the playground and next thing you know we looked around and he was deep in thought.

Sunday Market in the Old Cromwell town, January 25, 2015 New Zealand, on our Journey to Queenstown.
The construction of the Clyde Dam and subsequent filling of Lake Dunstan in the 1980's brought major changes to Cromwell. Gone were two wild rivers... but there is now a beautiful new lake with many shoreline amenities. Acres of orchards were lost. .. but Cromwell has since become the fruit and wine centre of the south. Cromwell's original commercial area was drowned... but there is now a pleasant new town centre with modern facilities.
However, the old town centre with its historic bridge has not been forgotten!
Old Cromwell Incorporated was formed to do something positive about this loss, and the result is a splendid reminder of days gone by! While there is a lot of work yet to be done, many of the original town buildings have already been either restored or reconstructed . History lives on! And authenticity is the key word ... have a close look at the workmanship.
Nowadays, Old Cromwell Town is home to local craftspeople and a cafe. Enjoy a stroll around this historic precinct located at the end of Melmore Terrace. A great place to find that special memento of you r holiday. Open every day, entry is free.
The Central Otago Farmers Market is held here every Sunday running from the first Sunday in November until last Sunday in February. Enquire at the Information Centre about various other events held during the year.
And the bridge? It's still there, under 11m of water! There is a rum our that a Mk I Zephyr is still parked on it. Did you bring your SCUBA gear?

I have a friend coming in to town in a couple days. I thought I'd stock up on some beer, and I bought 2 20 packs, thinking I'd take a pic to send to him. 40 beers sounds like a lot, but I couldn't get the pic to be as impressive as it should've been. Add some strobisty goodness, and it makes for a nice photo. Granted, I didn't get all 40.
P.S. The black above the bottles is sloppily painted in photoshop. The umbrella shot light everywhere.
Strobist: 580 EX through umbrella directly above camera. SB-600 fired into white sheet to light up all the bottles. Triggered with Cactus V4s.
Cécile Brünner, the rose, is just about done for this season. Two days of high winds are forecast and they'll probably finish her off. Maybe then she'll get pruned. There's always something going on with Cécile. She's housed the wren's nest, is part of the cottage's windbreak, and climbs up and over the shade house where, despite the "monster who ate everything" frost, she kept the houseplants safe. While she was at it, three ginkgo seedlings arrived in the mail the other day and are in there too, recovering, getting used to their new home ahead of them heading off into the "wild wood" next year.
I picked the last few buds of Cécile on their skinny little stems. They don't make the best cut flowers. But they are pretty enough for a dressing table or vanity for a day or two; then this…
Fortuitously, this little vase and it's posey are roughly the size of the wren's nest, so I know the formula: 42 turns of the focussing rail, front to back. toddkeith533 favoured the notion of a small aperture for close-up photography over stacking. So, taking his advice to enhance my inherent "efficiency", or laziness, I've stopped down to f/11 and reduced the process to just seven exposures — hybridisation, if you like. While I was at it, I turned off the overhead lighting and swapped out the flash I used on the wren's nest for the less powerful 430 EXII. The results? No exposure compensation numbers were harmed, and computer time was far, far less than for however many photos I used at f/4.
What it all amounts to is a pretty little pink thing to insert among the green doom and gloom of a frozen landscape. Even wilted and drying roses are better than that!
im trying to get ready for the holidays...
