Rotorua, New Zealand


Album Cover I only had a couple of days in New Zealand after TechEd in Auckland (which is way too short of time frame). However, the geothermal area in Rotorua (about a three hour drive from Auckland towards the center of the North Island) with its hot springs and mud pools provided a nice option for a day trip to see some unique sights. Luckily the weather cooperated :-)

Check out the associated blog post for a little bit more about these pictures.

I'll certainly have to look into a longer trip at some point in the future to check out more of New Zealand.

My Photo Gear

Camera and Lenses

Mostly Canon stuff... specifically I use the Canon Digital Rebel XTi, along with a zoom lens, the Canon 75-300mm IS USM and a wider lens, the Canon 17-85mm IS USM as well as a few filters such as a circular polarizer and a tripod.

Software

Adobe Lightroom 2 for RAW image processing.
