October 27, Auckland War Memorial Museum Rob Suisted — Life in the Lens Previously the National Marine Mammal Officer for the Department of Conservation, Rob Suisted has reinvented himself as a wildlife photographer par excellence, attributing much of his success to his understanding of his subjects. Now featured a number of times in New Zealand Geographic, Suisted has the reputation for pulling off seemingly impossible shots. Take for instance his cover picture of a falcon landing on a ponga stump. It was shot into the sun, lit with three flash guns, the falcon approaching at 130 km/h, and the shutter released just 70 mm away from the bird, it’s primary feathers actually touching the front element of the fish-eye lens. Suisted will share his secrets on working with wildlife, approaching subjects, and bringing out the aspects of a critter that make it unique — be it its plumage, social behaviour or character.  Click to enroll

Auckland International Airport - Rob Suisted photo
	Leaving for a trip to India, I passed this temporary banner covering a new shop development. This was a fern koru I shot for AIA using the Canon 1DsMk3 22MP camera. I can't get over the clarity of this reproduction, approx. 9 feet high! Most of our images are designed to go large. This is a good example, but I was floored though by one of our images used in the Customs Arrival Hall that we specially stitched from 10x22MP images to go approx 30 x 10metres! That's large. Sorry, I couldn't get a photo of that one.
