Hi….yes, …point taken….but….,
Here in New Zealand, I am currently paying approx $185 for a tank of diesel for my Ford Everest,….plus $8 road tax for every 100km travelled…..and no way around it!!

AirWalter……….Yes absolutely, and perhaps that is an often forgotten or underrated aspect of becoming/being older…we tend to recognise all the beauty that exists in this world , despite being bombarded with stress causing material?
Thanks for sending this ,and I’ll be showing it to my wife.We have a son in the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra, so it makes me sad when I see & listen to the likes of this, that we can’t see him more often.

Selmslie……I’m no expert here, but I’ve previously gathered that cropping does not change depth of field?…..wouldn’t this require a change of aperture or lense construction?
Secondly, with the 12m.p. cell phone……how would it go producing say, a 30 x 20 inch print with good resolution?
Thanks for your interesting post.

Absolutely beautiful Cat —nice work and very picturesque.
I live here in New Zealand and we have beautiful scenic places , certainly.....but you have wonderfully beautiful locations on a far bigger and grander scale!
Cheers,David

Vicki,
The unnamed bird with the white white feathers around its neck is a tui ( has its tail toward the viewer).Quite common in some areas of NZ, nut never seen in others.
There are a number of other not so common natives in the park but they don't easily wait for visitors.
Did you see any tuatara ? -- these are a reptile that can live for two hundred years or more! -- mature about 40-50 cm long.
Thanks for posting these shots!--- David, NZ.

It is quite likely that with the current style of racing yachts ie...cat & foils , New Zealand could never find a location which could provide the necessary consistent wind range .
The NZ waters have winds which at the best of times would/could vary greatly from hour to hour , and well above that seen in the Bermuda races.
I'd predict a boat format that could cope with heavier waters , and stronger winds with wider short term fluctuations.
Anyway, whatever is decided upon, we're hoping the cup will be held here in NZ!!
Congrats to both teams on an amazing yachting spectacle!!....D.

You are absolutely correct David. I used the term"classical guitar", to distinguish it from "rock" guitar. Thanks for the feedback. Are you familar with Joe Pass?

Mark, yes , I have heard of Joe Pass but haven't really listened to him a lot-- he certainly has a wonderful jazz (?) guitar technique.Yes, I agree that 'classical' is a rather 'loose ' term, but if one wants to listen to 'pure' classical guitar, have a look at John Williams, one of the top names of the 70s and 80s ,and I think he is still a great performer ( listen to his Villa Lobos recordings).
Paco would probably tell you that he is strictly a flamenco player , and McGloughlin some form of cross over? Actually, I think the original of that composition with these guys was recorded in 1980 -- saw this from your other link, which I think is a re-union concert.
Yes , its all very inspiring, and many of us have probably had an amateur interest in different forms of guitar playing.
Thanks again for the post,-- Cheers,David.

I thought I'd share this with all who appreciate classical guitar playing. This is probably not for those who think rock stars are/were the "end all" of guitar players/musicians. Hope you enjoy it.

Markngolf, I've been a big fan of this composition for a long time- thanks for posting it here.If you can find the original recording of this piece by these three guys, - quite a few years back, you'll find the playing generally far better in many respects.This is like a re-union performance and a lot of the original magic is lost.By the way, there is actually no classical playing or classical guitars here -- paco is playing a flamenco instrument and the other two steel string acoustic.Thanks & cheers, -D.

We are going to New Zealand for 4 days in late November, looking for the best area(s) for landscape photography. Does anyone have suggestions? (We haven't committed to any particular area yet, such as the North Island or any particular city.

Gary, a couple more things.November is really the start of summer, but its a lucky dip with weather.
The comment to stay south of Christchurch is a good one ( in general).I'm attaching a shot I took at Lake Tekapo a few years ago -- but taken in June or July, and nothing great.Cheers,D.

Gary, I have not as yet read all the replies to your post, but I live in Christchurch, South Island of NZ (been there all my life), and landscape is my thing.If you are interested in Lakes and mountains, etc, then I'd give the North Island a miss, especially with your restricted time in the country.By November ( usually a good time to visit weather and temperature wise), most of the impressive snow an the alps will have gone( but not all). However, there will still be great montain lake landscape to enjoy.
Three or four areas come to mind (1) down the West Coast lakes and glacier (2) west coast will lead you to Wanaka/Queenstown area ( 3) Mount Cook Tekapo area (4) Milford area -- a bit further to travel, but worth it.
Ok, hope we see some of your work when you are back.Good luck.
