I was born in Zimbabwe on 03/06/88. My family, consisting of parents, older brother and sister, migrated to South Africa when I was six months old. We moved back to Zimbabwe six years later, to help my grandparents on their farm - a career change for my father.
After a measly eighteen months we upped sticks and went farming on our own. This led us to Kwekwe, in the heart of Zimbabwe, to farm tobacco! Borrowdale farm which is part of the "Midlands Black Rhino Conservancy" is where we settled . This was the most incredible experience, living with such an abundance of wild life ........... of which we became a part of during the school holidays! Due to the "land redistribution policy" we had no option but to move on.
10th November, 2001 saw us arrive in New Zealand with our former lives packed into a suitcase each, ready to start our new lives. Our first three years were spent on the South Island and I nearly froze!!!!!!! A great employment opportunity for my father had us move up to the North Island. I now live on a farm just outside Matamata aka "Hobbiton" (defrosting).
Yep that should sum it up ha!

Perfect title. If you flipped this over it would look like natural gas wells burning at night. Well, kind of. It's beautiful right-side-up, too. I'll have to take a look at that software.

Holly mother of a sweetest...Kai this is a most fantastic night shot! I following a tread about HDR. Looking at your shot and some in a past I think worth every time and money spent on it.

Wow! this is nice, really nice.

Wonderful detail - and a factual argument pro HDR. On the other hand - the image itself probably would have profited from a tighter - more panoramic crop, even if that would mean to sacrifice some of the reflections. (Just my humble 2 cents)

I read a bit of that thread in the forum, then decided that I just never manage to take the same shot with different exposures (not exactly the same shot that is!!) so therefore would never work for me however.......... after seeing this, I think it is well worth the time and patience to get the tripod out and take the shots - this is beautiful. The golden tones and reflections are perfect. The clarity and detail are fantastic. I have no idea of the cost involved in this program, but with results as professional as this, you could make your money back in no time. A sublime capture(s) Kai. Excellent. xx

HDR seems fantastic, need to try it out sometime, but to take several identical shots, I will have to buy a tripod first I think... Wonderful photo Kai, the lights and reflections give it a special look and mood, bravo!
