I’m especially proud of the last photo, which looks like it could be an ad for a Sony Nex 3. Click on the photo to enlarge it and see what I mean.

Took this photo of the railway station today. The second shot is actually the first shot cropped. I quite like it because it totally changes the balance and feel of the shot.

You get a bonus point if you can find the bird.

Somehow I made it look awesome :-)

Here’s a link to it on Google street view.

Also a very rare sight, a penguin herding fish in Wellington harbour! I saw this one my lunch break on Wednesday.

Today, one photo was taken before work, at lunch, and after work.
