I landed in Whangarei around lunchtime. We set off to explore the Whangarei Heads: the area to the East and South of the town on the eastern side of the Harbour. Frankly there was so much to see and so much to tell you about that these postings will be spread over the next week or perhaps even more and will be interspersed with postings from Whakatane and Napier.

GB very nearly worth the flight! Looks superb. These look a tad washed out, my monitor/your white balance? Have a great Christmas.
ReplyDeleteLove the enlarged shot of the rock formation - better than being there, I think!!
ReplyDeleteLived near it for many years - used to take my children up there and admire the views of the water... beautiful spot and not far to commute. It is the one thing I miss about life in the far north - the beaches, framwed with pohutakawas in the sun.

What a dream for a photographer's eye! Really beautiful veiws. How close did you get to that rock at the top?
ReplyDeleteHow beautiful! And the color of the water! What a wonderful place to explore!
ReplyDeleteAdrian: I find that the haze when photographing the ground from height added to the relative opacity of airplane windows tends to make photos look washed out. As I don't generally do antything to my photos except crop and straighten the odd horizon I wouldn't even know how to unwash them! I really must learn to use the facilities which PSP provides.
ReplyDeleteMonica: I was a long way from the rock. I used the long focus of the lens to do the work for me.
Adrian. Just realised that there wasn't an airplane shot in these. Oops. It was hazy and that's how it was. The rest of my comment applies. Perhaps one day I'll manage to get them looking unhazy.
ReplyDeleteI'm getting more and more 'envious' for a camera lens like that... ;)
