Great flight up to Tauranga last night.

The big lady was in town yesterday, thought I would miss getting some shots, turned out she put on a show for me on our climb out..

Were the little 'uns keeping station or was she dead slow?
There's a big difference in the amount of wake.

Good collection of the trip Jon

lovely photos, I like early morning pictures, have nice lighting or something :P

Wind farm over Palmie North..


Is it just my eyes or are they all on a lean, I always imagined a wind farm being in somewhat organisd straight lines, obveisly not. :lol: Must be to do with the terrain..

Sure is Nik, keep finding new functions and different ways of shooting frames. Best investment I made me thinks.

Great shots Jon, yea, you can almost see my house in the middle-left of the picture behind the cloud, if that cloud weren't there you'd be able to see me waving for sure. :P
