.....on Blue Lake, St Bathans.
More of the Blue Lake and its amazing reflections.
In 1864, Kildare Hill loomed 120 metres over St Bathans. Within a few years, gold mining reduced it to a 68m deep pit that is now the Blue Lake, the deepest mining hold in the Southern Hemisphere. From the 1880s, miners used hydraulic technologies, which rather like a vacuum cleaner sucked gravel out of the pit for gold recovery. Although a considerable amount of gold was mined at St Bathans, fears that the town would be undermined ended operations in 1934. The huge hole was left to fill with water draining off surrounding cliffs bringing with it minerals which normally form the intense blue colour of the lake. Today the Blue Lake is popular for camping, walks, swimming and other water sports.
St Bathans, Central Otago, NZ
Day 4 of our two week holiday in Central Otago, NZ.
Here's another shot of one of the buses that frequently park out in the lot behind my office. This is combined from 3 exposures in Photomatix.
It was strange going back to the school I studied abroad at in Norway. It felt so different this time, like I didn't really belong anymore. So weird. Anyway, it's always cool for crazy reflections though.
Captured at Hellestøstranden, Rogaland.
The setting sun gave beautiful reflections in the wet sand on the beach.
This is the 3rd image in the series.

Artist Statement:
This series of images explores the identity of the two women it features. The images are intended to challenge the viewers’ perception of the women by portraying them in an obscure, indirect manner. Although it is deliberately made obvious that both figures are women, their features are not distinct, adding to the mystery of them both and increasing the uncertainty of the viewer.
In each of the images the figures are not photographed directly, but as reflections on distressed surfaces, distorting their images and signifying how the way in which other people perceive these women is so different from their true identity. The constant presence of the red veil is a symbol of their strength and authority.
The decision to take the photographs in this specific location was made after discussion with the two women, who identified this as a place with which they have a considerable history, a place of calm and peace, surrounded by nature and where they feel they can expose their true selves.
In one of the images the photographer can be viewed, concealed between the women and the trees. She is barely noticeable when first viewed, yet is uncovered when the image is explored in greater depth. She seems to be behind the ever-present red veil, as if it is a protective barrier, reflecting the relationship between the two women and myself, the photographer.
Through this series of work I have been able to explore my relationship to these women visually in a way, which I have never been able to articulate through words. I have been able to explain to myself and demonstrate to them the respect that I hold for them and to show how I value their strength and dignity.
sometimes it's nice to just sit around with a few good friends. I appreciate those quiet times. they remind me how simple it all really can be.
and yes, this image is upside down. ; )
On someone's suggestion I came down to Mooney's Bay, by myself.
Then suddenly I came up with an idea to just put the camera down and take a shot of me in this state, whether it focused on me or not. I think it looks just fine, if not better, focusing on the grass.
The idea of self-reflection is quite true: for instance, I don't have school, no job, and no friends at all to hang out with. My whole life is ahead of me.
Mooney's Bay is perhaps one of my most favorite places in this city. Unfortunately I couldn't stay long - I had to get all the way back home, about 14.94 km away. If I had my way I'd have gone swimming, right there. It's a sandy bottom, no sea weed, and the water is beautiful.
It's kind of lonely there too. That's how I feel anyway. Man, the grass did a good job, I love this composition.
This summer has been very busy. Work, my daughter getting married, work, my son moving out, work and more work. Today I was finally able to take a break and think about taking some photos. I have been wanting to work on water drop reflections lately. Tonight my wife wanted to go gather some books to donate to our daughters teachers classroom. Right before we were to leave I looked outside and noticed that the last light of evening was perfect. I grabbed my tripod (an adventure in and of itself. I had to locate parts from the relocation of said tripod by my two year old). I put my macro lens on and set out to get the photo set up. These plants are both found in my garden. The cactus is a cold weather cactus and the flower is indian blanketflower. I misted the cactus and then started shooting.
This shot would not have been possible without a tripod and a cable release.
The specs:
Iso 200
105mm
f/40
5 second exposure
I did minimal treatment in Lightroom 3 and then published it.
I like the reflections of the flowers in the water droplets.
I like the contrast of the cactus and water.
I like the detail found on the cactus.
I like how many drops are found.
I would like to not have the thorn reflections over the flowers.

In de Design Vlaanderen Galerie wordt de tentoonstelling "Reflections" herhaald die tijdens de vorige Milan Design Week in de Triënnale voor de eerste maal werd gepresenteerd. De tentoonstelling was een eerbetoon aan de Belgische ingenieurs Emile Foucault en Emile Gobbe die in 1903 het eerste mechanische systeem voor de productie van glas ontwikkelden, nl. het verticaal trekken van vlakglas. Dit zorgde wereldwijd voor een totale ommekeer in de glasnijverheid en het opende de weg naar de industriële productie van glas na de 1ste Wereldoorlog. Dat België aan de wieg ligt van de industrialisatie van vlakglas en er in België nog verschillende bedrijven zijn die samen met vele ontwerpers spiegels op de markt brengen was de aanleiding voor Reflections.
Maak kennis met niet enkel spiegels van Belgische designers maar ook andere voorwerpen met een spiegelend oppervlak, waarin het licht reflecteert en spiegelbeelden ontstaan. Eén voor één vormen ze hoogtepunten van design. Ontdek primeurs maar evengoed klassiekers van de hand van boeiende ontwerpers en bedrijven.
De ontwerpers: Leo Aerts (Alinea), Marina Bautier, Michaël Bihain, Susanna Campogrande & Lise Casalegno Marro (Allerretour), Xavier De Clippeleir, Alex De Witte, Simon Desmet & Timothy Macken (MaDe), Nathalie Dewez, Jean-François d’Or (Loudordesign studio), Luc Druez (LcD Textile Edition), Nedda El-Asmar & Erik Indekeu, Marie Gobert, Linde Hermans (Rode schoentjes), Bieke & Patrick Hoet, David Huycke, Bart Lens, Xavier Lust, Stefan Schöning, Diane Steverlynck, Ben Storms, Mathias Van De Walle (MVDW Workshop), Ann Van Hoey, Danny Venlet, Jules Wabbes, Sylvain Willenz.
De bedrijven: AGC Glass Europe, Dark, Deknudt Mirrors & Reflect+, Eternum, Fiam Italia, Ligne Roset, Linadura, Objekten, valerie_traan Gallery, Vervloet, Wever & Ducré, Zeri Crafts.
