I hope that's not supposed to be representative of what Auckland looks like, nor representative of what NZ photographers are capable of. |

Perhaps I'm too fussy - eg: http://y23stockpic.free.fr/200609-gb...923_202448.JPG Supposed to be Motutapu - Auckland on the Horizon. I'm not even going to waste time describing my thoughts as to why anyone would waste the bandwidth uploading a shot like that to a stock agency. Some nice NZ photos from a NZ amateur photog he http://www.photosig.com/go/users/vie...1c?id=162 205 |

I just looked at them as holiday snaps. Some nice NZ photos from a NZ amateur photog he http://www.photosig.com/go/users/vie...1c?id=162 205 Spooky, spacy, glossy; art objects of a certain kind. |

My impression was a lot of 'interesting' (read as 'tatty') building taken from low down looking up giving a distorted perspective, maybe with a short focal length.

My impression was a lot of 'interesting' (read as 'tatty') building taken from low down looking up giving a distorted perspective, maybe with a short focal length. They were interesting as one traveller's perspective on our country, and some of them were quite nice. Anyone who wants a real photogrpahic tour of NZ's landscape is recommended to look at the website of Andris Apse http://www.andrisapse.com/index.php Andris looks at a landscape and then imagines it as it would appear under certain lighting conditions, then waits until those conditions are available. If I could afford some of his prints I would buy them, but until my Lotto ticket kicks in .... |

The land/seascapes are reasonable, but the architecture and buildings are not at all representative of the country, or the City of Auckland. Some of the titles seem to be from a person whose first language isn't English, so I guess he/she is a foreign tourist, maybe on an organized tour.
