GKPE 8, Yet more NZ ramblings from some flightless Kiwis.

You can do basic editing on youtube now, otherwise Windows Movie make is easy to use, and if you have a photoshop CC subscription then the latest version of Photoshop CC also does video editing.

Man, I knew they were larger than life but that is amazing.....

they are indeed impressive. weta has done a good job with these. I tried to get some photos that shows the details but my photography skills are lacking somewhat. I was using the Tamron 35 1.8.

I have a few more photos that I will be posting in the next few days so keep an eye out.

I would recommend checking out the exbibit, it's free and well worth it.

indeed - some superb work there & very sobering to think of what the anzac's went through. I still have "the fletcher memorial home" going round my head days afterwards...

quite liked the shadow on this one:

thanks - still using the well-worn CS-3 I bought years ago so haven't ventured into video at all...

nicely done, always interesting to see different views on places around town...

If anyone sees the latest copy of Pro Photographer there is an awesome article on page 70 about the people I work with.

Thanks Joeseph. The problem with familiar is we forget to look. Auckland City was once very familiar to me but not anymore so I always find my trips in rather exciting and interesting. It seems the skyline is continuously changing and in many ways the actual 'style' of Auckland inner city has changed over the years as well.

After 5 attempts I finally found an empty mobility carpark by the Art Gallery which I have also not visited in many years. They have even moved the door ! I left the camera behind having had my hands smacked on a number of occaisions in art galleries which was a mistake indeed. Wonderful views and peek views from this revamped building.

This visit put a question forefront in my mind, "Do galleries hang art because it is great and worth showing, or simply because they have it?"

I admit my city pics are probably a bit mundane, particularly for the pretentious, but they are at least of interest to some outsiders, potential tourists etc. But without blowing my own trumpet, after all my second name is 'modestro', I do believe that the majority of my pics are more lookable at than the majority dark, gloomy and downright ugly stuff hanging on the gallery walls. Hmmmmmmmm maybe I've become a bit pretentious myself to notice/think that?

I think I may have some more city pics coming, particularly on Flickr for you all to enjoy.

good stuff - I often wonder how you take so many shots without getting run over... certainly don't consider them mundane. My lunchtime walk doesn't get me as far as the art gallery, I believe the last time I was there was during a Picasso/Monet exhibition which was probably more than 15 years ago. Must try harder.

I think we crashed it with to much sharing on social media......

if I am not not mistaken that is our own (now famous) Moppie trying to convince us that he does work?

Heh, tips and techniques, I am not so very physically mobile, I drive a 2004 Nissan van which has a large windscreen. The camera being a tool, and as always knowing how to use a tool is all important, it is set on full auto except for the asa, sorry iso, is fixed on 100. The 6D focuses very fast under those circumstances and before any one raises a voice, the van is also always stationary until I the have put the camera down, hence in colour shots the traffic lights are always red. To start off I had trouble getting the camera to focus but then realised the back button set up does not work in auto.

So there you are, that's how I dont get run over. Thanks for seeing and talking to me, much appreciated I was hoping to kick some life into this thread

That is certainly an interesting article Moppie. The Museum is on my list and maybe my next 'conquest!'
