On Friday I think we were all glad that the Christchurch fireworks display at New Brighton was cancelled. It was a dark, wet and freezing night. Saturday came around and it started chilly, but it later turned into a nice day.
The night of the 6th was clear with a blue gold sky just right for a firework display. It was light enough to find your way around on the beach and dunes and we all settled down to enjoy ourselves. When the fireworks started they were a little bit out of synch with the music on Breeze, but we forgive them.
I have uploaded them either so that they can bring back memories or make you feel envious that you were not there.

About Steve Taylor
Steve started off working with his father in the building trade as a painter & decorator before starting an apprenticeship in Telecoms.
Steve was a Senior Signalling Engineer who worked for British Telecom and MCI/WorldCom in London. He was presented with the WorldCom Star Performer award for his improvements to the working systems.
He was and still is a seller of real estate, but is now really enjoying the excitement that photography can bring.
With photography there are only a few rules and they are mostly to do with composition. As always in life the worse the conditions the more extraordinary can be the results. If the weather is wet, cold and foggy the pictures taken will have a more surreal feel with the fog hiding the distracting backgrounds, the rain softening the colours and the cold making you more determined to get that perfect picture for freezing your butt off.
One of the other strings to his bow is being able to turn a photograph into a beautiful digital painting.
Give Steve a call on 021 241 3244 if you would like to talk about photography or real estate and you may also see the world in a different more exciting light.
