There has been a suggestion of a mini-GKPE at a very small graveyard & chapel in Parnell.

The grounds contain some very old graves and the church building itself is the oldest chapel in NZ, shifted to Parnell from the Bay of Islands (if I recall correctly).

The site overlooks the ports of Auckland so could present some interesting lighting to that aspect.

The grave yard itself is largely under trees and being at the end of a dead end street (no pun intended), would be realitivly dark. There are some ground mounted flood lighting on the structure but these could be covered.

The site is not overly large but could be interesting.


Looking at the weather forecast, I suggest Wednesday 10th September and possibly meet on site while there is still daylight to familiarise with the (probably very dark) graveyard.

The site is located at the end of Judge Street, Parnell (quite limited parking) and it is a Presbyterian Church, St Stephens.

sounds like a good idea, just a thought from their website though: Wednesday 6:30pm Contemplative Communion St Stephen's


some fairly old canon camera stuff, canon lenses, Manfrotto "thingy", and an M5, also an M6 that has had a 720nm filter bolted onto the sensor:

Hmmm, didn't think to check that, should be over by Tony's suggested time and I can't think there will be hoards of people (only seats about 50). Be a walk-up crowd:rolleyes:

Could even get to have a squiz inside?

Not sure about that, from memory, there isn't any stained glass & it will be alarmed internally.
But, I'll give the office a ring, (I emailed last year or whenever it was to get permission) and ask if we can have a look inside after the service.

That I like!

How does IR work at night or in cold conditions? Other than operator discomfort, does the ambient temperature have much of an effect?


Weather could be a bit dodgy for Wednesday night, but as long as it's not hosing down, should be fine.
