    James,

    Welcome to the boards. Your website has some very impressive and great photos. Though I won't critique them all (there's so many!) I absolutely love your long exposure shots. Very great shots,

    Good shooting,

    Jared

    I really enjoyed checking those out

    Those panoramas were all beautiful, but that upside down one kinda confused me, then again, I liked it much.


    I love that one ^

    Re: New Zealand Photographer Wesbite

    youngshooter: the best way to learn how to do long exposures is to just walk around town at night and take a couple 100 photos..sure you'll have heaps of crap ones..but if u can filter out 4 or 5 good ones..then ur making progess...just experiment with all your cameras functions..and see what u get..course u can talk to me again..just shoot me a private message or email or chat to me in this thread..

    Mr Yuck: : hehe yeah i thought id be a bit cheeky with that one...thanks for commenting on my panoramas..i actually need to do more landscapes..ive gone off them a bit lately...

    Re: New Zealand Photographer Wesbite

    James - A very well put-together web site. I like the background color and how the phtoos contrast against it. THe night shots are exciting and creative looking. Looks like they design the highways artistically over there (!) The landscapes are decent, but you might want to investigate the use of a polarizer for some of them. Nice site.

    Very nice website, James! I particularly liked your long exposure section. Beautiful!
