Ahh, been there a few times. Rather bizarre but fascinating place :)
You captured it well, Double S :D
#4 and #7 particularly :)

Great images, especially #7. What did you shoot with the bigma?

You make me feel such an idiot! I lived in Orakei, overlooking Rangitoto for 4 years, sailed past it countless times, and still haven't been there. :confused:

of that series number 5 was bigma
there are about 3x as many shots i was happy with, a few more bigma ones in that lot
next time i go back it will be for the whole day and i will go at my own pace - was frustrating zooming past all kinds of great scenes and close-up opportunities!

set #2 can be found here
