Cape Farewell

Here is a snapshot of one of the stunning places visited whilst in New Zealand. This iPhone panorama is of Wharariki beach, a beautiful and isolated spot at Cape Farewell, the Northern tip of the South Island. There is only a basic holiday park to stay at when you reach the end of the road and then its another half hour walk through some fields to get down to the beach. But once there the almost endless flat beach stretches across the cove with the impressive archway islands standing tall in front of you. Wildlife was abound with countless species of birds and a group of baby seals playing in the water. A must visit destination that is well worth the long detour. I should have the majority of the film images back next week to share. I must say though, using the iPhone and film camera hand in hand works much better than I had expected. The iPhone is perfect at documenting all the small but memorable moments and if you know its limitations it can create some incredible panoramas. With a spot of Wifi, all can be shared instantly. This simple work flow allowed me concentrate on getting the most out of the film when it counted.
