Auckland, New Zealand

Wazza · 13th of May 2008 (Tue)

Feeling a little home sick today, so thought I'd look over my most recent photos from a 12 day trip I made in February this year...
Combination of 1DIII, Sigma 12-24, 17-40L and 24-105L and Cokin Grad ND filters

Flying in over Auckland from Sydney - if it was a weekend, the harbour would have been full of yachts - 24-105

Muriwai - West Auckland - Surf Beach - 24-105 I think

Maori Bay (South End of Muriwai)

Gannet Colony over Muriwai - Sigma 12-24mm

Looking South over Maori Bay and the rough weather approaching - 12-24mm

The following day again at Muriwai - managed to get quite wet shooting this one (and forgot to edit out the dust spots)

Karekare - long shutter speed, Sigma 12-24 again
During a small POTN meet up with friends back home

Reminiscent of my departure, as Queen Elizabeth II, cruise ship leaves the Princes Wharf

Stunning photo's I am actually impressed with the quality of the pics from the Sigma 12-24 lens.. I am actually in the market for a wide lens as well, tempting!

Love the Karekare shot, but they're all very nice.

Excellent series as always Warren! The gannet colony shots blow me away!

Wow great set!

Wazza · 14th of May 2008 (Wed)

Thanks for the comments

I love the gannets too, and how nature interacts with the rugged coastline

4, 5, 6, & 7 are great pieces of landscape work, I think you have done very well Wazza

Excellent all of them. Good display of how and when to use filters

curiousgeorge · 14th of May 2008 (Wed)

I love #4. The composition and processing just come together perfectly.

DDA · 14th of May 2008 (Wed)

Great set! Those long exposures worked perfectly. Did you use a ND Grad filter?

First sentence of his first post says he did

It's easy to miss what he said amongst such great photos though, isn't it?

elysium · 14th of May 2008 (Wed)

Stunning work as usual. I can see why you miss it.
