Telling tales from around the world

Pretty as an autumn day in Wanaka

I’ve noticed how popular this style of highly saturated HDR has become lately. Not sure why, but something about it rubs me wrong – really, I don’t know why. I certainly have no issues with playing with images so they tell the story I want to tell. So, I decided to give it a go – lovely romantic shot of a small boat on Lake Wanaka.

I still can’t decide if I like it or not. What do you think?

I like the saturation, but it really depends upon my mood. Sometimes I just want black and white, sometimes sepia, sometimes fades. You know me–wishy washy.

- I think what bugs me is the deliberate ‘fairy-tale-isation’ of the image. That it doesn’t seem to flow naturally…
  
  And yeah… you’re so wishy washy – almost as bad as me…

2017 – year 9 for Titirangi Storyteller

Yeah, yeah, I keep promising to be better, but it just doesn't happen... I seem to have been so busy with my ever expanding business, which is primarily managing other people's social media, I've truly neglected my own. And it's just easier to post on Facebook, though strangely, it's not as personal as posting here. I will endeavour to be better. And make the time to post here, cos I'm never going to just have the time. VMcP

Miscellania

If I were an island, I should lay in wait until a kind bird came and sat upon me to keep me company. And if a shipwrecked sailor drifted upon my shore I would be in heaven.

Do you feel like an island? Or like a sailor? Maybe it depends on the day or the time of day or the island or the sailor. I'd rather be a bird. Would I rather sit on the island? Or on the sailor sitting on the island? And what of the water? Surely the water would want to have a say in all of this. The water would probably insist.

Appease the water, bird, island and sailor, dazzle it with trinkets and pretty words.
