Did you take it on any special setting(av, tv, manual)? It Looks great!

**cowboyz** · 4th May 2008, 20:16

I took it on the highly techincal 'auto' mode. I am not a photographers asshole to be honest. 'auto' is the only mode I use.

Auto is best for all things.My Canon EOS has all sorts of settings on manual,but never seem to play with them,and it's a damn good film camera with two lens.Need to practice with the settings but write the settings down,much easier with digi camera as you see it straight away.

Bikes look shit hot by the water not in it lol.

Ignore the top box, It's just there to carry my duty frees from whangamomona. Boy was I misinformed.

Did you pay the departure tax at Whanga.

Knew it was cold today but the snow level reinforces that!!!

Where abouts did you go to for pic looks like lake rotokare by Eltham,but ages since been there,you didn't get to Hawera today with a few others for a meal break about 2.30 ish?

Enjoyed your windmill shots cowboyz, specially as it is from my childhood area too but of course the windmills weren't there then!

I am taking the liberty to post a couple of pics of where I live now, on your thread.

Went out to have a look at the display of colours of the trees that occurs at this time of year all round here, thought I might share too.

Hope you don't mind.

Cheers John.

Nice pics John,they certainly show why we should visit our country first,the whole area of Central Otago,Arrowtown,region is awesome this time of year,can remember being in Invercargill for the May school holidays back in 1976,the return up the middle was great.
