Gidday from Middle Earth (New Zealand)

Kiwipixter · 11-03-2014, 06:31 PM

Hi Everyone. Long time long visitor to this site but only recently registered. Have been DSLR user since the 100D and currently owns a K-r, looking to upgrade to the KS1 to go with my new Sigma 18-35mm which is the talk of the town (so to speak) at the moment.

Welcome to PF and you already know the place and the gold mine of information available. Will be good to see some of your photos when you get a chance.

I used to work with a couple New Zealanders... it costs a lot to get there from here.

Welcome..

ChristianRock · 11-04-2014, 07:50 AM

I'm definitely looking forward to seeing some New Zealand photos! One of the most beautiful places on earth (middle earth? lol)

Kiwipixter · 11-05-2014, 02:01 AM

Thanks for the welcome. Here's a place I visited just last week, its called Fielding. Voted best small town many times over. All taken with the Sigma 18-35mm with no AF issues.

One thing that jumps out from these images, is that there is no real traffic or people, is this a quiet place to be.

Kiwipixter · 11-05-2014, 03:26 PM

There is actually more traffic now than it used to be. Its a small rural town and the photos were taken during a weekday where the locals were at work and visitors were scant. Nice place and plenty of open spaces, especially parks.
