For us creative types there is a real compulsion to create. Exercising our creativity is also a key to maintaining our balance and harmony.

Since I hadn’t really been out shooting the way I like, in the country, for some time and since there are a lot of stresses at the moment (caused by some members of my wife’s family) I was really feeling the need to create. But not just create, also get out into nature. So yesterday I decided to take a health day and do spend a day by myself in the country.

I spent a whole day out, took the opportunity to catchup on a whole series of podcasts and take a lot of images. The result was a much happier, more balanced and centered Wayne ready to get back into some serious work. It was amazing what a day of shooting could do to restore my energy. Below are some of the results of the day’s shoot.

Moving a bit gave me a different angle on the building
This old gold mining dredge made for a great location
A drag line was also run at this location

Another mullock heap from gold mining
At Gisborne I took this fisheye shot which I then used the Lens Distortion filter in Photoshop to adjust
