Whatipu rests at the mouth to the Manukau harbour, with some treacherous water and continuous moving sand with the prevailing Westerly winds.

Bokeh is the photographic term for the background blur of photos. Just gave myself a new Christmas present, in the form of Canon’s pristine 85 f1.2 L lens.

The Emirates flight from Melbourne to Auckland was uneventful, although the dirty windows on the A340-500 didn’t help in getting clear shots of Auckland.

The Eureka Tower of Melbourne, is currently the worlds tallest residential building in the world standing 300m (984ft) tall. Presented with what looked like a great upcoming sunset with good visibility, decided to head up to the 88th floor lookout. Spectacular views 360° around, although the top ten floors are gold plated (looks great on the outside), but cut out much light within making photography extremely difficult.
