What a Wonderful World

CONCEPT:
A Tiny Planet is a surreal concept that represents my experimental process pushing the medium towards new directions.
By revealing the hidden landmark of any landscape.
Something captivating, as when looked at it closely you will find that it is expressing a whole new Microverse.
A concept of a fragile planet, floating like a bubble in isolation to protect its valuable ecosystem.
My vision strives in provoking an awakening to see the world differently by changing our perception.
TECHNIQUE & EQUIPMENT:
High-Resolution Image made from 4 bracketed shots stitched together.
Canon EOS 5DMkIII + Sigma 8mm fisheye lens + tripod with panoramic head.

Something very cool to discover at New Zealand’s beaches is the creative structures made by collecting and pilling up drifting wood to protect from the harsh UV rays.
This structure in particular caught my attention as it looks like a “Giraffe”.

Thrill
In the past, I’ve had many exciting experiences with different types of boats and nautical activities.
But gliding on the surface of the Shotover River at full speed, bordering the rocks of the canyons at less than 20cm is the major of all.
This is the most! And a must-do, if you get the chance to visit Queenstown.
