This is one of my first HDR's, probably my third. Done a very long time ago now. It was taken near the lighthouse at the Manukau Heads but looking in to the entrance of the harbour and across to Little Huia. Before you ask I'm not sure where Big Huia is. Little Huia is a very picturesque settlement though. Well worth stopping there for a bit of a kai and a stroll if you're heading out to Whatipu of up to the Dam. More @ my blag

Te Toto Gorge: Through the Trees. The weird thing about looking at this photo, I find, is I don't think it shows just how steep the drop off actually was. I like heights and I got very close to the edge here, a little further and I think I would have lost that love of heights.

Karekare. The Early Setting. The sun didn't actually set till about another hour and a half after taking this set, but it was the last time we saw the sun that day due to the storm clouds. I took this a fair while ago, and its actually probably the last time I used my 18-55mm kit lens. Most of the other shots that day are really soft because of the crappy filter I had on it, I took it off for this one though.
