- A quick look at how we can still photograph during Corona Virus Isolation and Lockdown, and isolation. Here - we have a quick look at some Macro Photography, Still life, 'High Key' and more traditional portraiture... as well as a landscape shot in the garden. Stay safe.
A peaceful trip out to the end of the garden with not much narration whilst shooting - as that just seemed the right thing to do! = l
Enjoy.
Regards, Ewan
Very uplifting, thank you . What a beautiful place. You also , Be safe. ⭐️
Thanks Paula. New Zealand Truly is a remarkable place to be, even in lockdown! = ) Ewan
Interesting to look back when all this craziness started. Now everyone is acting like it didn’t for the most part. Nice thing about landscape photography is you could still go to places for the most part. Your photos are stunning.
Cheers Jay!
Thankfully you had a government that acted early and decisively. Although I had a pretty straight forwards lockdown sitting in the back garden, photography, books, multiple cups of tea and the odd dram as I wasn't driving, eased the strain. When we could travel a little locally I even managed to shoot places without the dreaded tourists. I still lost two neighbours during the worst of it and another with long term serious effects he's still suffering with. Its not over and done with yet, two years on, but the vaccines seem to be limiting its effects somewhat.
The one real positive I saw from lockdown was children out in the street playing rather than being driven to 'activities'. No school didn't seem to worry them one iota.
OOO, sorry you had people so close, affected by COVID. I watched families have dinner together, playing with the kids in quiet roads, , climbing trees because they couldnt go far. Like the good old days! E
Awesome thank you.....😊👍🏻
Hey james. You are welcome mate. Kind regards , Ewan
Awesome video Ewan, stay safe mate 👍🙏
Cheers Adrian - Hope all is well in Aus!

I thought I'd seen the entire Ewan Dunsmuir back catalogue, but I missed this one. Takes me back to lockdown in the UK when I had to take extreme precautions because my wife was considered to be extremely clinically vulnerable during her chemotherapy. My house and garden became my world for 2 years, working from home, online shopping and that was effectively it for me. The only journeys out the house was to drive my wife to Manchester from our home in Lincolnshire UK, a round trip of 300 miles for surgery and had to drive straight home again and to drive her to our local hospital for chemotherapy. I honed my processing skills during those 2 years. This proved to be a significant boost to my photography. I enjoyed this video, although it reminded me of the most challenging time in my life so far. I can't help wondering if you'll choose to make more content at some time in the future. I enjoy your videos almost as much as I do viewing your images. Best wishes Ewan and season's greetings.
Hey Tony. Many thanks mate and yes, I actually rewatched this recently and it took me STRAIGHT back there, although not with the same issues you had to contend with. Unsettling times indeed! I will be making more content in the new year. Not quite sure where the time goes and other pressing priorities currently, but will certainly get myself together in 2023. Off to the USA and the snow near the canadian border soon... and probably wont take any camera gear!?...
Thanks for your continued following Tony and Ill be back with mores soon. Take care and enjoy your christmas!
Awesome as always... lockdown for me was a single malt and re-edits of old shots. Oh and some Strat jamming :)
Stratjammer - thanks very much indeed. Much appreciated and you can’t go far wrong with a good malt whisky
Regards, Ewan
Thanks Ewan for creating a film to your usual high standards. Take care and stay safe.
Thanks very much Steve. Thanks for watching it! . It's the commentary that keeps me doing them! Best wishes. Ewan
Thank you for this video 👍🏻💪🏻 Stay safe
Thanks Erppa. You are more than welcome! = ) Best wishes. Ewan
Very impressive Ewan
Many thanks Mate. Much appreciated. Ewan
The words that came to my mind Ewan were, "top that if you can Mr Booth"! Brilliantly put together film that had a bit of everything..reality, drama and beauty! I too am lucky to have landscape behind my house, although I am more likely to get a photograph of the farmer muck spreading than exotic boats and feeding coots. The portraits were enough to get even me interested in them and as for that last pano...flippin eck. Id be appy wi that!
LOL - Thanks Simon. Portraits used to be my speciality many moons ago, but they are always hit and miss! Im glad you'd be "'Appy wi' that"! Simon. LOL Glad you enjoyed it! Your turn!
Regards, Ewan
PS - Is 'Coots' what they are. I wouldnt have had a clue!
Great, thank you Ewan stay safe.
Thanks Jan. you too!
Ewan

Ewan Dunsmuir Images I sure am, just watching your “bloody” wanaka tree video.... hope the bump to the car park barrier didn’t cause too much damage

Ewan, what a brilliant and thoughtful intro to this video. Excellent content as usual - Thanks again.
Thanks Gordon. You are welcome my friend. Kind regards from NZ
Thanks so much for the much needed photography inspiration (as usual), but even more, thank you for the example of responsibility. Well done.
You are welcome. = ) Re the not going into the forest... just couldn't do it. I wish others would make the same decisions! Kind regards, form NZ.

HI Mark. Thanks for that mate. Yes, i must admit, I am very lucky and something I don't make the most of all the time. I should be out on the water most days in the Kayak. you stay safe too. Regards from NZ! = )
Beautiful images and footage Ewan thanks for putting this together... so well done!! Take care and be safe.
Hey Joseph - thanks very much man. Its the leas i could do as here are many people much more locked down than i am. = ) Look after yourself and whoever else is in your 'bubble' Regards, eEwan
Lovely house and location Ewan! Very jealous you are able to get out with the camera and drone at home. The lockdown here certainly has us all thinking about the future incase this happens again. Stay safe.
Thanks Chris. We are indeed lucky that we are remote, and living out in the country helps too. We will be considering what the future looks like, for sure!
the photo of Lloyd mate is sublime, so beautiful, what did you shoot him with ? light is everything
Hi Gregory Yes indeed. I like the result too. Just careful metering. - I have just found a repository with a whole lot of unanswered comments in it. Sorry for the late reply. I shot him with a Canon5D and a 17-40mm leans at the long end. Heres a link to the flickr image. = ) www.flickr.com/photos/eos1969/30219493376/in/photostream/ Many thanks. Kind regards Ewan
Cheers for that Ewan.
Thanks Jeff. You are welcome = )
Kind regards, Ewan
Hi really enjoyed the video can you tell me was that a macro slide rail if so what one is it please. I have just got into macro since the start of lockdown here in NZ as well.
sunwayphoto 300mm slide, found on ebay = )
Wise words young Obi eWan, though I expect little else from you. A fine wee gerden to go out and play in with the camera, that view with the boathouse and the colours in general, beautiful. Stay well
Cheers Andrew. You take care mate. Ewan
Always amazing content and such a great message. Good vibes from you always. Best wishes to you Ewan 🙌🏽
Many thank ForArtsSake = ) . Hope you are well too!

Excellent Ewan, such a professional production, loved it
Many thanks Ian. Pleased! = )
Ewan
Brilliant video that should strike a cord with everyone. As always your images are beautiful and emotive. BTW I love your backyard. Stay safe and stay healthy.
Thanks John, Its a big back yard and lucky to be able to use it all! = ) Cheers man. Ewan
Thanks for sharing Ewan, it's amazing what we can find if our movements are so restricted. Strange times, here in Aus as well as the whole world, there will be an end to this isolation, we will all be different on the other side of this global event. Loved the video footage and images captured. Cheers !
Thanks Phil. So true! There have been some lovely posts on socia media, of families playng board games and having dinner together - humile times! Thanks for your comments! Regards, Ewan
Inspiration Ewen ...... I’m working still as I’m classed as a ‘key worker’ delivering food to the people but my down time I’m making a photo diary of simple shots around our bubble on one camera a X100v ,some images I wouldn’t have looked at previously but it’s something to record at this sad time . Take care
Hi Gary. Its actually a good opportunity - in fact, its probably quite an important time to document what is going on around us. You will be seeing empty roads, desolation as you go about your function! Good for you Gary. Keep up the great work! Ewan
Och Ewan ,you had this old proud Kiwi in tears with the intro to this relevant vlog of our current times.Maybe i could sneak over the Mamakus to your stunning whare for the rest of the lockdown bro ??
Hey Andrew. Good to hear from you. Sorry about the waterworks.... = / LOL Re the whare - door is always open!! (To non Kiwis "whare" is Maori for house, or place! Cheers Andrew. Ewan
