On Sunday I carried an old Nikon One. This is often called a toy camera, but it is well engineered. Moreover, I was using a kit lens.
What I had was good light.
Harrington Point.
Fog and a seal.
I have just reviewed all the pictures from last weekend, and the highlights were catching the fog in the inner harbour and the coast behind the Otago peninsula.
And a seal.
I think the seal wins.

Two walks.
It is the very busy time of the year. The number of walks we have had has been limited by family duties. These are some shots taken at Warrington and Brighton, Dunedin.

Photos taken primarily with a 20 mm f 4.5 Voightlander, D800, processed in darktable to 1500 .png. These seem to load faster than if I put the raw files up.
Last weekend, this weekend.
I made a mistake today. I did not put a camera in the car when we were going for a walk, The phone then decided to freeze, so this is all I got.
However, last Sunday and Saturday I did carry a camera. It helps: particularly when chasing light. In this case, all were taken with a D800

Quarantine Island
No, we did not go there, but we went to Portobello a few weeks ado. I was using the d800 with a Nikkor 75 -300 Ais lens. Hence the boat.

Sunday at the inlet.
I packed lightish: D800, 85 mm f 1.8 Nikkor, and 20 mm Voightlander f 4.5. I regretted bringing a longer zoom, as there was considerable bird life. These are the shots from a one hour walk.

In autumn the seals spend a fair amount of time on the Peninsula Beach.
