So went over to Whangaehu Beach for the weekend which is by Porangahau just out of Waipukurau Hawkes Bay.

Got some nice shots altho I'm not happy overall with the shots i did get and look back can think of so much more better shots i could of got, but was a good learning exp. Also learnt i can not surf...At All.

Still got shots i haven't edited yet, i'll do them if i get time but not sure

1. A Pano of an old Wool Shed that used to be there, but now is just the base. (2 variations of the photo with different edits (Colours), used 3 photos stitched together)

8.This one has been edited a bit, taken the sky from the staircase HDR and placed onto this photo to make it a bit more dramatic, i like it tho

15. Another Pano from up the hill. Don't like it as the middle stitch colours are way off and you can easily see it. I did edit this one at like 12am last night so i might revisit it when im more awake and get the colours working together,

an attempt to dull the obvious-ness of the off colour in the middle stitch

No 8 and 9 are my favorites...either of which would look great on a canvas...
