Spirit of the Blues. Winterstellar in the Otago Daily Times
The images that make up the “Winterstellar” exhibition 2022, which opened at Central Stories Museum and Art Gallery in Alexandra last night, can be a single shot where the camera lens is left open for an hour or more, or stitched together from hundreds of frames taken over time.
Taking a single shot over a long period is a “really brave” choice, said Winterstellar Charitable Trust chairman Andy Davey.
“It only takes a car going by or a gust of wind to change everything.”
He is referring to an image titled Blackhead Star Trail which was the Natural Category runner-up for photographer Yang Zheng, who also won the Jury Prize with his image of the Mt Cargill communications tower in Dunedin.
