"Hunter On The Water"
Orion, the hunter, reflects nicely in
the surface of Lake Tutira. This area was a traditional hunting site for
local Maori, who depended on food provided by the vast bird-life that
once resounded in the dawn chorus. Clearing of the forests for farmland
almost silenced the birds, but now the trees are making a comeback, and
so are the birds. Bring on the chorus! Photo details: Canon 350D, ISO
400, 12 1/2 minute exposure with a Canon EF 15mm Fisheye lens @ f-2.8.
