Mooning
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...e226b907_h.jpgOnly half a moon this time by Ben, on Flickr
Must have a pretty solid camera @GravelBen ?
@Spoon yip, got a couple actually! Bit of an addictive hobby, I do more shooting with camera than rifle these days.
That moon shot is from a Nikon D7200 with Tamron 150-600mm lens.
Working late to get a job finished last week, got rewarded with 10 minutes of glorious light as the sun slipped between the cloud and horizon at the end of the day. So often its just about being in the right place at the right time (having a decent camera with you and knowing how to use it helps too of course ;) ).

Been to the last two weeks places in the last year.
McLean Falls further down the Catlins is also worth a look. (For anybody planning a trip that way)

A lovely place.
A recent one I was pretty happy with:

I have been going through some of my photo collections and came across some shots I thought (I hope I am not being pretentious) that others might like, too.
Here are some 'watery' ones.
Waihirere Falls, near Hicks Bay.

Waipunga Falls, Napier-Taupo Road. I think someone else might have posted a similar photo somewhere, way back, but I cannot remember who or where.

The Blue Lake, St Bathans, Central Otago. The very same spot was once called Kildare Hill. Prospectors found gold there in the 1860s and dug and dug until the hill became a hole! Eventually it became too deep for hydraulic elevators to work satisfactorily and the workings were abandoned - and the hole filled up with water.

Took a couple of photos while out looking around the other morning.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...3ac728d180.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...4713189a62.jpg

It occurred to me that a photo of the whole of the Blue Lake (well, most of it) could be informative, rather than just a portion of it featuring spectacular reflections. The township, or what is left of it now, is out of view on the left.
Attachment 151423
Here are scans of two very old photos, one showing Kildare Hill levelled, and the other showing the hole that finally became the Blue Lake. They couldn't extend the hole too far to the west (left, in the second photo) or the whole town might have fallen into it!
