About



So I decided to buy a new camera back in March since my Old one of 5 years or so decided to start malfunction on me. Photography is a plain hobby of mine. I plainly take photography just for the fun of it. I'm never really that serious with it. Though I'm already thinking of doing Photography as one of my subjects for my second to last year of school.
I don't really have a style or preference to what I take. I just love taking the photos

Anyway here is my Gallery. On that note I haven't edited them in anyway or such. Most of the photos you'll see here are from where I live or when I go on holiday but still the same country. If you didn't know I live in New Zealand. Also if you want to know my camera is a Canon PowerShot A480

Places Here and There


School Athletics day: One of the first photos I took. The field at the park my school always rents for our athletics day

Sunrise @ 7: This was taken from my classroom window and yes at 7 in the Morning

Light: Taken at the same time and place as Sunrise @ 7

Kiwipoint Quarry: My Geography class had a Field trip to the Local Quarry. Weird thing was that this photo looked exactly like a photo that was previously given to as in class. Only difference was the sun was at a different direction when I took it

Street: I was on my way to a running event and well... I had my camera with me

Civic Square Ball: This Ball is famous where I live. It lies high in the sky in the centre of Civic Square

Civic Square Ball Long Shot: A better view of where the Civic square Ball is

Frank Kitts Park Lake: This is small lake which leads to the ocean located near Frank Kitts Park, Wellington

The BoatShed: Another view of Frank Kitts Park Lake but it also shows the boat shed which is used to store the boats used for Rowing. My school has a rowing Team store there boats there

Porch View: When I went to Rotorua in the Holidays the hotel I stayed had a great view....of trees

Distinction:Another view of the Hotel I stayed at. The Hotel was called Distinction Rotorua

Twin Rocks - New Plymouth: Well my knowledge is failing me at the moment and I can't remember what these rocks were called. But this was still on my vacation

Sunset Rocks: You can see the Twin Rocks here but this is more focused on the Sunset

Clock Tower: Still on vacation in New Plymouth, Clock Tower which is located somewhere in New Plymouth

Typical New Zealand Beach: My parents and I chilled on a beach at New Plymouth - Great day it was too

Typical New Zealand Beach: I think this was taken on my video camera so not as great quality

Mt Taranaki/ Mt Egmont A Mountain/Volcano located close to New Plymouth


Random Objects


Goggles: For every Facebook Photo Album I have I have a closeup of an object from that event/day. This was the front cover of my Album from Swimming Sports at my school

Words on the Wall: These were a bunch of quotes in my class on the wall (My homeroom is an English Classroom) I used this photo for a powerpoint for another class

Keys on the Board: I actually don't know why I took this but I liked it XD

Music's in My Soul: Another Picture I had to use for a powerpoint. Taken from one of my piano pieces




I throw my hands up in the air sometimes
Saying AYO
Gotta let go
I wanna celebrate and live my life
Saying AYO
Baby, let's go








Till Next time!

It's kind of hard to criticise your photography, as it all looks really nice in my opinion. And I'm just a hobbyist photographer too so I probably can't comment on technical aspects. I will tell you why I like certain picture over others though.

Sunrise @ 7: This is just pretty. I love the way the light seems to only just touch everything. If that makes sense. Plus you picked a really great view.

The BoatShed:I love the scene of this one. And I like the lamp in foreground. How you kind of don't notice it because your looking at the rest of the photo is cool (this may just be me here).

Twin Rocks - New Plymouth: 'Nother spectacular scene, and I like how you have the plants silhouetted in the foreground.

I dunno if any of what I've said has been helpful or not but yeah, those are my favourite pictures and why I like them. And I'd just like to add that I'm insanely jealous of some of the places you've been to. xD

You're not catching the essence of atmosphere and depth.

I can't tell if that Canon has a manual mode, but even if it does, you could definitely benefit from switching to a DSLR with a nice set of glass. You've got an eye for composure has potential but a fair lot of your photo's lack movement/flow of the eye and like cycle said atmosphere (mood) and depth. Your technical aspects are limited by the camera (and its lens) that you're using.

Hope this helps a bit. =)

Thanks guys!

@Trash and Silver
Thanks I'm trying my best to improve as much I can.

This is my current camera:

So I'm slightly limited. But since my parents know that I will be taking photography next year they are willing to get me a decent camera. Atmosphere, Flow and depth seems to haunt me doesn't Trash XD both Graphics and Photgraphy. But yea I'll see if I can work on that!

Well if your parents are willing to get you a decent camera, in staying with Canon check out their EOS Digital Rebel Series, it's the entry level DSLR of Canon's and they're quite good, in fact the newer ones have a higher MP than my current EOS 10D, if you get one of those don't go for the kit lens, instead look for a good deal on a better lens. A 50mm - 200mm is a good basic lens otherwise a classic 50mm is always good.
