Welcome to Zarphag.com – Photoblog of Rob Dickinson.
Photography is a long time passion of mine and something that allows me to push myself creatively. I try to capture images that combine the subjects essence with a bite of my own psyche, bringing light and form together with shape and colour, to;
‘Separate the light from darkness’.
Though I’ll shoot anything that moves, or stays still long enough, living in New Zealand you can’t help but be astounded with the natural beauty of the land. The bulk of what I try to capture is this amazing country, its changing landscapes, its wildlife and its people. I’m forever tying to push my knowledge of photography and processing, trying new things (occasionally failing) or trying old things differently, often with photography its an open mind that can get you somewhere an open checkbook can’t.
I’ve exhibited some work here and there and won a few prizes for my work, nothing too grand but its always nice to get a pat on the back.
I retain copyright on all my images on here (or elsewhere), I welcome any and all enquiries for their use, commercial or otherwise, and will happily take commissions.
That brings me to gear! I usually shoot with the following bits ‘n’ pieces:
Canon 7D
Canon 17-55f2.8IS
Sigma 10-20
Sigma 50mmf1.4 EX HSM
Sigma 70-200f2.8
Tamron 90mmf2.8 macro
Canon 400mmf5.6L
Canon 50mmf1.8
Nissin Di866 flash
Manffoto tripod & ball head
I also use a range of filters (Polariser, ND grads, ND filters), remote release, flash diffuser & whatever else I can get my paws on that might do something interesting. Sometimes I’ve even been known to hold a Nikon!
