Destination New Zealand

By Mark Evans on March 1, 2010

Well having made my way back to the UK a few weeks back, it finally came the time to sort through all my holiday photos. Its not a job I look forward to; I’d rather be out taking them all the time, but if you take ‘em you gotta sort ‘em! (And tweak where needed!) So heres some of my shots from the trip back home.

oooh I LOVE the Wave Action? I hope you had some protective gear for your camera at that angle.

And Scallop should be a huge print up on the wall, its lovely.

you made NZ look so appealing with all those blue skies and high clouds :) wish it was like that all the time LOL

Great shots, what lens did you use for the wide angle shots?

Hi BlueRose,
yeah my 5D got a little wet, but still ok! I used a canon 17-40mm for my wide angled shots, its great, as you can get super close to your foreground interest.
cheers

Mark you are far braver than I to let that much salt water near your precious camera :)

Most people I know have the 10-22 for the wide angle – whats the appeal for the 17-40 for you?

i have the 17-85 which isnt the best quality lens but gets the job done. But the 10-22 is around $1500 here and its not a necessity. I will get someting wide after I get my 100-400 LOL
