Have been going back through some old film shots from 2001 when we went to get married in NZ - here's a few samples (scanned from prints, no PP other than some slight cropping)...

All of these places are on the list to see again in Feb next year - this time with some decent digital equipment :) Looking forward to sharing more with you all then!

In the meantime, there's a few more here: http://sheepie.smugmug.com/gallery/2090318

#2 is excellent. I'm sure you'll have some better shots with your greater skill level this time around. Of course you'll also have me with you showing you how to make the most of that crap Kiwi countryside with your fisheye lens. :wink: :lol:

Fantastic imagery. Snow capped mountains (volcanos) look so nice and make such great subjects. Makes me want to go to NZ.

I love the last image, the decent from the Homer Tunnel into Milford Sound. Brings back memories of my young days when some mates and I rode pushbikes into Milford Sound back when the road was unsealed!

It was downhill all the way and as we passed one lookout I passed a bunch of tourists standing by a bus looking at the scenery and so I shouted out "No Brakes" as I whizzed past. A moment later my mates rode past the same bus load and they got applauded! The only unfortunate part about this corner of New Zealand is that it is only road in and out... getting out involved climbing back up the hill.

#1 taken from Taranaki, #2 is from the Desert road, is #3 from the Huka river? Great shots.
