Well I'm still slowly working my way through 21 days and 6,000+ shots from NZ. I'm now up to day 11 and have hit the half way mark. Here's some faves.

I know there are mixed feelings about photos of artwork, but this is the best stained glass I have ever seen - really intense, almost luminous colours and an interesting design (lots more of these can be found HERE).



I'm really annoyed with this second image, but like it anyway. I was going for a wander after lunch so I had only my 28-70 lens with me when I happened upon the Cathedral of the Holy Spirit in Palmerston North. This was fine for shotsa like the stained glass above, but for the shot below I was lying on the floor and still couldn't get wide enough to capture the whole four points of the cross (if only I had my fisheye or even the 12-24).



This third shot is a fisheye shot looking straight up while standing in a clearing in the forest. No defish for this one.




This last shot was an experiment that came out reasonably well. We were riding on a model steam train and I took this image (and a few more - see HERE) using the 10.5 DX fisheye. No defishing has been applied to the shot.

#2 is a fabulous image but #3 is a hackneyed cliche, however you have done it better than most. The train ride has lots of dynamic lines and you can almost feel yourself in motion. A fine image. (No Peter...not having a motion)

Your photography is as tight as a drum and beautifully controlled. I am looking forward to New Zealand PT 79.  PS The D2x really shines in your hands.

Great shots! did you see the stained glass at the cathedral in Christchurch?

Reminds me of home!

Keep em coming...

Like them all Peter. Really enjoyed the second and it's beautiful symmetry. I like your experimentation with the fisheye and movement. It works a treat.

Stubbsy - tight as a drum, completely controlled photography that we come to you for. Bring on the next part.

Great shots Peter, I like the 2nd, and the fish-eye effect with the motion is very good.

I saw this before but have no idea why I didn't get to comment, perhaps the forums broke, beautiful stuff Peter! Particularly 2, 3, 1 !
