100MP Photo of Mount Egmont
While up in Taranaki last weekend for Michael & Roseanne’s wedding, my wife & I decided to get up-close-and-personal with Mount Taranaki. The mountain has always been a far-away landmark, so was amazing to drive to the base of the mountain. Having a super-prego wife, we weren’t going to throw the hiking boots on and get any closer, but did decide to create this 100MP photo! Stitching images together from my Canon 5Dmk3 resulted in… Read more »

Nokia 1020 – Photographer’s Thoughts & Review
For the past 3 months I have been reviewing & playing with the Nokia 1020 for Nokia NZ & Telecom. Being a lover of all things Mac, it was always going to be a hard ask to impress me. The Nokia 1020 certainly did that, and some. While the phone comes into a smartphone category, I think it would be better suited as a smartcamera! The 41MP camera surely is something. Having full control of… Read more »

Most casinos will clearly state their photo policy and this usually… Read more »
