I was lucky enough to spend most of August in New Zealand. Dad owns a couple of printing business out there so he's been going back and forth and managed to blag me a ticket. All taken with a Canon 400D, 28-135mm IS USM (sometimes with a polariser), and a 50mm 1.8.

First of all, a >>LINK<< (1) to one I got printed at dad's printing business. They have a digital printer for making proofs or something. It uses a 60cm wide roll of paper. This photo was printed at 28cm by 150cm and I think it came out really well.


Another >>LINK<< (2) to a view from the top of the cable car in Wellington. I forgot to crop the black bits out before uploading it.


From the same spot is a view of Petone.

A view of Wellington at night, resized quite small. I had to lean on a wonky wall for this.

Then I spent some time in Auckland.

The Sky Tower from below:

From the top. There was a higher floor which I went on but the view wasn't much different. It was also above the platform where they jump from. It's not a bungy jump. They drop people attached to a rope and just use the rope to slow them down near the bottom, there's no spring in it.

The Auckland skyline from near Mission Bay.

The Moeraki Boulders, North of Dunedin.

The view from the plane heading towards Hong Kong on the way back.

It looks like you've done a really nice job of number 5. Is there any chance of posting a slightly larger version so it's a bit easier to see?

2.5s, f8.0, ISO400

I didn't take a tripod because it's too big and heavy for luggage and they're too expensive to buy over there and dump on the way back.

Very nice exposure.
