So we had our photoclub photowalk last week in Rotorua and it was sooo much fun! We all went down just for the day and visited 3 sites down there. Wow it was soooo much fun to finally go on a roadtrip. I just love roadtrips and going down with friends makes it 10x MORE fun. I definately wouldn't have had such a great time if I wasn't down there with my photog mates :) I really enjoyed the redwood forest, boy those trees are huuuuge!! It was a damn shame I didn't have a lens with me that could shoot wide angle.. but I made do anyways ;) here's a shot I took just stitching the pix together :) If you are wanting to do the same, just make sure you are shooting manual so your settings don't change from picture to picture ;) I just use photoshop to stitch it together.. its really easy using photomerge. Click on the photo to see it a little larger ;)
I loved Hangarua Spring too. It's just amazing!! The water of the spring remains sooo clear because it's contantly releasing so much water the dirt just doesn't get a chance to settle. It pumps out approx 4.5 million litres of water every hour.. amazing right?? Here's Doug looking down on it haha >>
And just to make the post complete, here's a few shots from the 3rd location. All locations were free how choice is that? :P I especially liked the larger mud pool.. there was heaps of steam there.. made some nice shots :)
Doug again with his craziness lol
Till next time, happy weekend guys! :D
