Gidday to the New Zealand contingent of DPCers.
As mentioned in another thread,  Beetle, her hubby  plamprec and this ole fella will be visiting both the North and South Islands of New Zealand in the latter part of December and early January.
Our itineray can be viewed here: and as you can see is rather hectic.
Having said that, if some of you folks are available and would like to play tour guide for a bit, we would love to meet up with you.

Not sure how travelling south from Wellington to Auckland works, but we won't be, anyway, sorry.
We're flying from Christchurch to Auckland, then driving north to Whangaparoa. We won't be doing loads of sight seeing on the North Island this time around.... mosty just hanging out with my Dad.
So I guess we won't get to see YOU, Nick.... that's a pity :-(

seems the active ones are thin on the ground. 3dsarcher is in Auckland he's a nice guy.
If you would like shooting buddies, Hibiscus coast photographic club members would be a good start, they know all the really good spots to go to that others may not.they are based in Orewa. I can email you contacts for them if you like

slonko (eva) is still very much involved with photography, although not on DPC.
she is in Auckland and worth a call |

I suggest that you check the tides for the day that you plan to visit Moeraki Boulders. I thought that low tide would be best and I was wishing for more water closer to the boulders.
edited: What happened? I can't see the images, above. I will try something else...

Thanks, Lanndon.... that church is already on the list. I had hoped to catch it at late afternoon, but now we might need to go back later on, as well. |

Thanks, Robert. The boulders are already on the list. I have no idea if we can afford the time to work around tide times, but now that you've said that, I'll keep it in mind and try to go there at high tide.
