Been busy shooting family and motor-racing recently, and haven't had much time for shooting my normal landscapes, and beach sunsets. In fact the last beach sunrise/sunset I shot properly, was 5th March! That's a long time for me.

Auckland City at night, as viewed from Devonport. The port intense light on left is distracting, however they're currently in the process of getting less lights, and ones which actually go down, rather than disperse into the night sky. Should make for better City shots from across the harbour. :)

Need to get out again, and shoot more scenes. I miss it.

It's all Great Wazza. The first looks like a cool structure. Can't pick a favorite.

The 2nd, last and first, are stunning!

Beautiful night photography.
But the Eerie Walker is simply awesome. I was very surprised, and glad to see it.

Thanks for sharing.


Cheers,
Jaime

Simply fascinating. Photo number 1, with the unusual framing, struck me the most. Keep up the great work.

Thanks everyone. Just thought a couple of these shots, are slightly different to what I've often posted. That eerie walker shot, was shot quite a distance away, 45min after sunset, with a very odd colour sky, using the 300mm Sigma.

Yeah, cool structure indeed. Always been fascinated with the Sky Tower. I used to draw concepts of it in around 1995/1996 I believe when the design was being finalised. I think it's now the most photographed NZ icon now.

I have many more, taken with my old Sony V1 at:

All we need now, is a larger building. Maybe something pushing 400+metres. Although, being an earthquake/volcanic prone zone. Good luck in creating something able to withstand large tremors. Sky Tower is apparently designed for Mag. 8.0. Yet the chance of having a 8-10 in Auckland and New Zealand is rather high. Especially with all the activity recently around the Pacific Ring of Fire. :(

out of interest, what were your shutter/aperture for 'Eerie Walker', it looks awesome, great angle too, it's an interesting building to photograph, very imposing.:)
