Photos from New Zealand and elsewhere

This is a video I shot recently in Queen St, Auckland. Caleb Michael Smith playing guitar. It was shot on Canon EOS 550D camera. I used Canon 50mm/1.8 lens, ISO1600, f-stop 1.8-2.2, shutter speed 1/50, 1920×1080 25fps. Sound was recorded on an external recorder Zoom H2. The shot was very spontaneous, I just went there and did it. I found 50mm is a little too long for handheld video shooting, it gets shaky. Image stabilizer would be helpful.

North Shore is the best part of Auckland. :P Here is a peaceful Lake Pupuke and the beach is just across the road. :)

Thanks to Easter for 4 day weekend. The cross is very New Zealand, decorated with Paua.
