Tulou

Postscript

What got this project going is that Frank from Dragons Chinese restaurant wanted some photos to put on his wall. I said to him they will be need to be big-very big.

We got two prints roughly enlarged to 1.6m by 1.0m printed onto photographic paper and mounted by Image Lab.

Not bad for a 12 mp camera and far beyond what is recommended for the file size! The Durst Lambda is very good at interpolation (filling in the blanks) and the result is very good with no obvious artifacts.

I was going to get a poster made but it was delayed until I got a website online that I could direct people to.

Please drop into Dragons, 25 Tory St, Wellington, ph 384 3288, for a great meal and say hello to Friendly Frank and Charming Jessica.

After having had such a great time last year I decided to book two days with my guide Wayne Keenan.

“Unfortunately” the weather was too fine. No mist, no storm clouds, no dramatic lighting, so I had to contend with scenic photos that would look great on a calendar or chocolate box! Total output of “keepers” was considerably less over the two days when compared to the one day last year. Still had a great time and I would return again as the landscape is unique and non touristy. The day after we left, the roads were closed by a heavy snow storm -so I should grateful for having made the journey. Its so hard pleasing a photographer!
