Haha - cheers. Selfies are a GoPro3 Black.
The others are Nikon D7000 body with a Nikkor 17-55 f/2.8 lens.
The Falls photo is a 19 photo stitch, lake disappear a 6 photo stitch and Te Toto another stitch.

Do you do photography as a hobby or profession? I have been looking into getting a camera as my phone's one is rubbish. But that sounds like a very nice set up.

How long do you spend on photo shop doing the after effects to get them looking like that?

I occasionally get odd paid jobs but it is a hoppy.
Drop by progear in Newmarket - they'll cater to $20'000 or $1500 and have always been top notch with me. Most of my gear has come from their second hand case.

I don't use photoshop but do shoot in RAW and use Adobe Lightroom for the finishing touches. Nothing major though - I'm a firm believer in that what goes into the lens should be what comes out of the printer. I probably spend 20secs on the finished image tops.

Nice photos. Where is Lake Disappear? I have a few cameras, but almost always take photos with my phone when I'm out on the bike. I should make the effort to take a real camera sometimes. Even a cheap DSLR will generally take better photos than the best phone cameras.

Your best camera is whatever is in your hand... I've taken some of my favourite photos with the shittest camera ever - it was in my hand though and far more useful than a $10'000 DSLR at home.

Lake disappear is just down from Bridal Veil Falls, 20km south of Raglan. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lake_Disappear

The falls looks better in your picture than they do in person
