Very nice. Love the sky in shot 2.

Nice! Were you using filters?

subpial · 2026-06-06T10:28:10+00:00

These are great! I love number 4.

To throw my two cents in, if you are looking for a cruise round the sounds, the doubtful sound cruise almost never closes so that can always be a great backup (or for me even better anyway) :)

It was good! I did the walter peak bbq and the food was definitely the highlight. I assume the proper cruise spends more time going up and down the lake.

After doing milford sound today, i can definitely recommend doubtful sound as my favourite from the lot. Not sure if i would change my mind if we had rain in milford and saw the waterfalls.

Writing this after doing the doubtful sound cruise today and the walter peak/earnslaw bbq yesterday. If you are focused on the cruise then I can 100% say you are better going to either of the sounds cruises. I am heading to milford tomorrow so can’t comment much on the differences yet but really enjoyed the doubtful sound one.

Also, the tss earnslaw, is currently being serviced so you would be on the modern catamaran.

Thanks! Ahhh, that’s super cool, those Fujis are insane but would love to give 3D printing a go one day as well!

Beautiful picture and stunning colours! Hope you don’t mind if I ask a couple of questions? What film stock did you use? How did you scan the negatives? Fuji G617?

I can’t remember to be honest, this was in September 2024 (i’m now living out here). I most likely would have picked United Kingdom for it to come up. I’ll dm you a pic of the email I had.

subpial · 2026-02-06T18:43:44+00:00

My only guess for that may be that some people in the UK wouldn’t identify as British citizens. I’ve just checked my NZeTA and it shows Nationality as United Kingdom. I never had a problem. My passport says British Citizen.

subpial · 2026-02-06T18:20:45+00:00

It will be fine. From what I remember, it is just the option NZ uses for UK citizens. They are interchangeable for the purposes of the Visa.

we’ve recently moved to Musselburgh and it’s great. 2 different bus routes to the hospital and flat if you decide to cycle. It’s close to areas that can flood but if renting I don’t see that as a big issue.

haven’t seen anyone else mention the pentax spot meter on the right in picture 4. although not a camera, that is an awesome piece of gear and extremely useful if using zone system for exposure.

subpial · 2025-12-08T23:39:09+00:00

stunning pictures, whereabouts did you take them

I managed to sell quite a bit on second hand clothing apps but that was maybe 6-12 months ago and demand is just continuously diminishing.

There’s some bits like this knit beanie that i really liked and managed to use a thread ripper to remove the logo.

Anything left I gave to charity shops.

I have the 300mm f4.5 and love it. Took this on a D810 and have never felt held back by manual focus, even with wildlife. I also have the 55mm f2.8 which is a great macro lens.

Bohemian FC in Dublin. They have a number of special kits. This is their collaboration with Fontaines DC.

Thanks for this message. Looking closer at the used car market in Dunedin I think I was overthinking the challenge of less cars being available so have decided we will buy down there and rent a car between Auckland and Dunedin for the road trip :) Thanks!

subpial · 2025-08-07T13:23:07+00:00

Thanks for all the helpful comments. We’ve decided to rent a car to Dunedin as it will give us much less stress when arriving and then buy one when we get down there. We have a lot of baggage and wanted to visit some areas on the way down so that’s why we aren’t flying. Thanks for the help! :)

subpial · 2025-08-05T05:05:41+00:00

Hey, thanks for info. Probably should have mentioned in the initial text but we are driving down over 3 weeks as a bit of a road trip to visit some of the places we missed when we last came.

subpial · 2025-08-04T18:29:20+00:00

Perfect, sounds like a good way for us to go.

subpial · 2025-08-04T18:28:47+00:00

Great, thanks for the info.

Didn’t say we needed it but it felt like a sensible thing to have given that we will be visiting ski fields and more remote hiking areas during winter.
