I do have a question for you, where is the actual beach, I didn't see any sand, black or white?
I'll be back there this Saturday, flying home for dinner on Sunday. So if there is any sand, I could have a go at finding it.
I thought people jumping into the water alongside the Free Ambulance Station right on the waterfront, was spectacular.

John, I, in order to start an argument at our local camera club, would make the statement that "there are no pictures within a hundred mile radius of where they met". That always caused a furor. I must admit that pictures seem to be easier to find one hundred plus miles from here though some of my best work has been taken in my back yard. Macro, leaf patterns, etc. Like "gold", pictures are where you find them. Must admit though that places like New Mexico, West Texas, Aridzona, abound in picture opportunities.......Regards!It's funny that there's nothing to photograph where you are. Funny because others that find nothing in their region can visit you & find a lot.
It's just monotony & a change of scenery can do a lot of good for you. city? Go to the countryside, even a new to you state park.
I'm west of Chicago & bored out of my mind but some older towns or (where I'm at) tiny towns with barely a post office but maybe
a paddock or pasture. Portraits of something you don't see on a daily basis. When younger Lake Michigan or Northwestern
campus was something to regain a bit of interest.
Steiglitz did a series of cloud pictures he called equivalents, Weston liked near landscape, Adams was the grand landscape guy.
Visit a city and don't get mugged. Running shoes are a good idea.
Yep but I avoid action with a manual focus RB67
Regarding beaches. I am not sure how white is white. Just around the museum over to the other side from the Free Ambulance Station - where the yachts and boats are and the houses on the hills - "called Oriental Parade" where we have the water fountain on the beach water. Other local beaches would be like Lyall Bay, Island Bay, maybe around where you get a bit more rocks and shrubs - Moa Point. There is also Petone Beach. If you wanna catch the sunset looking west maybe Titahi Bay and Plimmerton Beach.
Wellington isn't that grand looking. A number of my images from the South Island and that is what is marketed to tourists but don't get down there very often...
Edit. B/w film I find is easier to use. Color slides are more difficult and I try not to use it in the midday esp with Fuji Velvia. My go to film is Velvia but that is slowly changing lately so something more versatile like b/w and c41 type film or even Fuji Provia / Kodak Ektachrome.
Where do you guys use the RB67?
As someone who lives in a city but not north america there isn't that much I have not already photographed.
That's a nice case. Who makes it?
