One of the traditional images of Christmas in NZ is the pohutukawa tree, which turns to a blaze of red in the weeks between mid-November and Christmas.
This particular one is at the bottom of our driveway, over the fence on our neighbour's front lawn.
This is a closer of the tree showing the flowers a bit better.
THere is also an element of skite here too, as these were taken with my birthday present, a Panasonic Lumix FZ50. Both photos are unenlarged, unmodified, except for the file size, straight from the camera and in the second photo cropped to fit at 1:1 from the RAW file. The camera produces both jpg and RAW files. The RAW file is amazing, and at 100% you can see the individual stamens in the flowers. That from a photo that frames the full height of the tree.
I like it!! Thanks family, this is one camera that will get USED!
Mind you, the multi-exposure studio work still comes out best on film rather than processed digital. So the Sony is still in demand as well.
