Yip, a few more from New Zealand!

Palmerston North has one of the longer miniature railways you'll see, stretching for some 2.2km through the parklands. This has been a Sunday treat for kids for as long as I can remember...




What to do with a young one on a boring flight? Give him an early Christmas present!




Fluffy white clouds everywhere - and Kapiti Island, off the coast from Wellington (yeah, I know - don't use a polariser in a plane!)...




And finally, this is how we drive in NZ - OK - I needed a pic to round out the three subjects

Leon. An interesting group. The second one of Lucas is my pic with the panning effect done well to give the illusion of speed.

Nice images Sheepie love the zoom technique in the second one.
cheers

Leon, looks like I'm going to be playing your kid at DS games at meets in the future.

Nice pics, too.

I understand the armoured vehicles - I've seen the Kiwis drive - they're almost as mad as QLDers!

I played with this effect one a couple of times around the circuit, and this one came out the best. With the wide angle on, the distortion at the extremes makes it look like I was changing the zoom - when in fact it was just the movement.

EXIF Data:
Aperture: f/9.0
ISO: 200
Focal Length: 12mm (18mm 35mm)
Exposure Time: 0.1s (1/10)

Leon, these are cool pics, like the ones in air as well anyhow mate i am about to fix a couple speedway pics up from last nite so keep ya eyes open.
Cheers
John

True!

WOW! You guys are having such a great time! And that little kid that hangs around with you all the time is getting spoilt!
