Along the main highway that runs up the east coast of the South Island is a little town called Waimate. As Tourism plays an active part in this towns economy, the locals have had this barn signwritten to draw tourists off the main drag in the hope that they might spend a little time looking around the edwardian themed main street. I often drive past this and never pay it much attention. Couldn’t resist the colours this time.
This is Queenstown, New Zealand. Great place to catch the nightlife while in New Zealand. What a Gem Queenstown is. It was cold but worth the effort.
One of our stops on Photo tour. An image I made with our group last week. Take a look here at www.phototrek.co.nz
If I’m not out shooting images for people. I spend my days as an Ophthalmic Photographer in the Eye Department at Dunedin Public Hospital. This is a photograph of my retina, Taken with a Canon digital Fundus Camera. (Just one of the many cameras I use). A fundus camera or retinal camera is a specialized low power microscope with an attached digital camera designed to photograph the back interior surface of the eye, including the retina, optic disc, macula (i.e. the fundus).
I ask patients to imagine their eye as a movie projector. The lens at the front like a camera and then a projector screen at the back. This screen at the back is your retina, where everything you see is played out for your brain to see. It’s like a CCD or CMOS sensor in a digital camera.
