....A rather frustrated kiwi trekker here... why you ask?... well I have been trying to find something for my photo club judging next week.. and we had to find something in the catergory of "Curves"..hmmm I thought.. what could I find that is different...I have gathered a few photos.. but not too sure as yet what to submit..

This one has a little story to it.. On driving down one of the roads in Whangaparaoa in the area I live.. I spied a house and office (which said Open Home) and I saw this Steel curved sculpture on the wall.. so I went into the office part and asked if I could take a photo of it.. and explained why.. they guy said.. YES.. So I started, got 2 photos and just as I was to take the 3rd a man came rushing out and was calling out: EXCUSE ME, EXCUSE ME!!!!.. I kept the camera to my eye.. taking the 3rd shot and said.. dont worry I have permission to take this shot... still I heard his voice crying out...EXCUSE ME...EXCUSE ME....Cant you read!!....

And there on the door it said... No cameras!.. LOL... and he promptly told me it was a private home...so he wasnt very happy with me.

AND I only wanted a photo of this... oh well you get that..

Silly of him really, as how did he know I wasnt interested in buying the home...its a strange world sometimes....I mean I wasnt peering into his bedroom window... lol..lol..

On Wed 22nd Nov. I received HONOURS on this photo from the North Shore Photography Society, for which I belong.

I really like this, it is a great shot even though you were caught... lol... I love that it is so clear and sharp... was it on a black wall or on a base? It is also something different so would be a great shot for the curves comp:)

Hi Dawn,

I like this nice composition with the great lighting and these nice curves, The repetitions of dots is very interesting in it.
Very well done.
Cheers
Luc

i like the simple composition here dawn :)
excellent sharpness and details

love the story :) i think he was more worried of someone copying the art work :P

An 'Honours' for sure Dawn. I love this shot! The dark BG enhances this image and you have managed the reflective surface well. Tell me where it is so I can go and upset the owner too! :-)

Hi Dawn,
The photo is amazing with the soft curves and the metal!
I love your note AGAIN! Why no photos I wonder??
He treated you like the paparazzi happy he did not smash your camera!
But I do have to say I read it this a.m. and being out this afternoon taking photos it was on my mind! :)

Love the graphic feel of this shot, and your note is quite funny too! Very sharp and clean shot. Well done!

Oh yes! Great curves Dawn. I'd give it a "honours" for sure! Well done and very interesting note. Cheers, Pat.

Hi Dawn,

Hi Dawn,

If this is a sculpture he has at the home, God knows what we has in his bedroom!!!..lol..

I like the POV on this one as we can really see those curves. The black background compliments the photo very well.

I think you'll do good with this one.

Well seen & composed
