Description Photograph taken in Ahipara, New Zealand, where I'm living for some days.

On the 90 miles beach I love how the sand looks like a mirror when it's wet, and reflects the clouds.

Photo prise sur la plage près de Ahipara, en Nouvelle-Zélande! c'est moi sur la photo, j'avais trouvé l'endroit et le moment parfaits et prêté mon appareil à un ami. J'en ai fait d'autres similaires, mais je préfère celle-là car je suis dessus! mwahahah.

Thank you very much I'm not a professional photographer but I like taking nice photos when I go to extraordinary places like New Zealand. It's such a beautiful country, that gives so many opportunities for nice photos

I really like the feeling of this image, it seems like a great place to relax and feels so calm. i think that you've passed that message really well, the clouds and the reflection of them in the sea are very soothing and peaceful.

i took a look through your gallery and i know you are a digital artist, so i must give you the credit for this image because probably is not in your comfort zone, but you achieved a great result.

what i have to point out are technical aspects, the image is a bit dark and almost monochrome, so you could have played with the exposure there and the post-processing to achieve other tones and make it have more visual impact.

but for someone who is not really into photography (from what i see in your gallery) i have to congratulate you for the great job here!!

Thank you In fact I do take regularly photographs, but just when I'm travelling. So I'm not a professional photographer or anything, I don't have a lot of knowledge in photography, but I think I have the eye for nice places/landscapes and nice shots. I try to do my best

thank you!

Yeaah that's great Yes that beach is veery long. 90 km in fact, but they call it "90 miles beach". It's already a lot of miles

Yes there are very nice and remote places in NZ! but I don't have a car so it's a little hard to visit all the nice places, but from time to time I have a friend who can take me here and there, or I use the bus.

I'm still going over your blog, so I used an online translator so I don't miss out on anything. But the rafting... and the skydiving... a-and you got to visit Weta Studios! Aargh! I hate you (in the nicest way possible)!

Evolvana In reply to Variable-Edge [2010-03-16 06:51:50 +0000 UTC]

I don't know if the translator is a good idea most of the time they do weird translations! I hope it's still ok!
