Railway station

I took this Panorama of the Dunedin railway station on my friend Anna’s camera. We were walking around town while I helped her figure out how to use it. The railway station’s a block and a half from my apartment.

Pearl flat

Chris Laing and I camped at Pearl flat which sits below Mount Aspiring. Since no one else was stupid enough to go camping with the sand flies, we had the whole area to ourselves :) The sand flies weren’t a major nuisance and seemed to avoid stinging us so long as we smothered ourselves in regular dollops of deet.

Poolburn reservoir

Some photos showing the beauty of the frozen Poolburn reservoir this winter.

Alan Knowles and Dave Patchett skating through the maze of jagged rocks on Poolburn reservoir.

View of the rocks at Poolburn reservoir. This photo is result of merging three different photos to create a wider angle view.

A light snow dusting on the rocks created a stunning backdrop for the ultra-smooth near-black ice

Wide panorama showing how beautiful Poolburn reservoir is on a good day. Full resolution Panorama available here. If you look closely you will see Dave Patchett and Alan Knowles skating.

Crib revisited

The following is a panorama I created a long time ago of Toko Mouth. It was originally created with an old film camera of my mum’s and since the film was her’s, she never let me chop them photos up and turn them into the panorama I was trying to create. Scanners weren’t readily available back then, but thankfully she let me borrow them to scan recently, and here is the final product in all it’s glory … albeit many years later than I had intended!

Oops! It seems these are not the photos I thought they were. These are photos taken by my Mum. The ones I was thinking of were probably on my own camera. Sorry Mum!

And here’s the original file.
