139194 2003-04-26 23:23:00 Hey

I was down Rotorua way for a holiday and with my trusty 1.3MP Kodak DX3215 i took this picture... A few people have told me its "nice" and "pretty" but i have been living in this country to long to really admire the bueaties of NZ. Tell me what you think!

139195 2003-04-26 23:44:00 That is a lovely image - very serene. :-)

New Zealand is a beautiful country and it is a shame that people do not appreciate just how lovely it can be. A lot of people travel overseas and come back saying how great country X compared to NZ, without ever experiencing the wonders of their own country.

I have travelled extensively, and can say that NZ can hold its own when it comes to scenery (especially the South Island).

It is sad that you are jaded to such sights. Open your eyes and take a fresh look around you. :-)

139196 2003-04-26 23:46:00 I think maybe I have housework to do,

very good?, were has the boat gone?
I can not afford such a holiday, because earth has gravity and the world sucks, I would like to have a holiday if I have some money, and my work sucks, I know because my boss works in it. I must go before I say anything else .

139197 2003-04-26 23:47:00 I take photography at school, and it's nice how the wooden structure has framed the picture nicely...

Might have been EVEN better with black and white film?? That's one thing I like about printing my own photos, you can control the level of contrast, and decide which areas need to be lighter or darker etc...

cheers,

139198 2003-04-26 23:48:00 I agree, i have never travelled out of NZ so i cannot really appreciate this kind of thing.... Polk (1135)
139199 2003-04-26 23:52:00 Well, i have to say, this pic was kind of a fluke, i saw it, it looked nice, so i zoomed just a tad and took it!!!

I really havent a clue about photography but i though the wood frame would look kinda nice to!

Maybe i could enter it in some amatuer photograhy contest??!?

139200 2003-04-26 23:56:00 Good photo, well framed with the structure.

Its quite amazing how good a photo can be obtained with 1.3 MP cameras these days.

139201 2003-04-27 00:07:00 Polk, it's a great picture! Just enough colour to give it a bit of mood. Nicely divided into thirds (supposedly the hallmark of a well constructed image). Amazing how often the best pics are the ones you take casually without really planning. Well done. Can I please keep a copy?
