MCB Photographer of the month: Belinda Osgood

This month’s mcb Photographer profile is by Belinda Osgood. Belinda is based in Amberley, South Island and is passionate about photography...

1. In my camera bag I can't live without...obviously my camera, but also my Canon Remote Control. It's wonderful for eliminating potential movement from pressing the shutter button in low-light and long exposure shots.

2. My idea of a perfect Sunday is...attending Church in the morning and a relaxed Sunday afternoon spent with friends or family.

3. The best thing about New Zealand is...the relatively short distances to get from here to there. Where I live I am it's 15 minutes to the closest mountain, 5 minutes to the beach or river, 45 minutes to the city, or an 1 hour 20 minutes to a ski field. With such diverse scenery and activities, not to mention photo opportunities, available literally at my doorstep, why live anywhere else? It doesn't get any better than that!

4. What makes me laugh out loud is... my husband makes me laugh, frequently. We both like a bit of word play and our conversations are littered with puns and spur-of-the-moment word games that are guaranteed to end in a laugh. The antics of my lovely boys, Smooch and Simba, usually evoke great mirth, too. (They're the cats!)

5. In five years I hope to be...running my own business, along with hubby, partaking in our many art and craft interests while operating in a full-time church-based ministry.

           
 

Belinda’s pics: “I chose them because they kind of represent what I love - nature and the light, colours, textures and forms found therein.”
