Happy New Year

Yet another photo, this time of the west coast (Devonport from my previous post is on the east coast). Actually this isn’t one photo but two. I cheated and stitched them together using Hugin. Unfortunately I forgot to lock the exposure between shots which meant some further tweaking with the GIMP was required. It turned out amazingly well considering I wasn’t really going for a panorama at the time. Which just proves the digital photography mantra of quantity over quality.

Muriwai Beach is not only a good spot for swimming, camping, and surfing; there is also a short walk to a Gannet colony. For more information have a look on the ARC website.
