Setting off the next day, we drove past the towns of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newzealand.com\/travel\/destinations\/regions\/christchurch-canterbury\/towns.cfm\/nodeid\/8.html\">Ashburton<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newzealand.com\/travel\/destinations\/regions\/christchurch-canterbury\/canterbury-towns.cfm\/nodeid\/248.html\">Timaru<\/a>, before settling down for the night at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newzealand.com\/travel\/destinations\/regions\/dunedin-coastalotago\/dunedin-towns.cfm\/nodeid\/155.html\">Oamaru<\/a>. I was half-expecting to see immediately the famed landscapes that New Zealand is well-known for, but the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newzealand.com\/travel\/sights-activities\/scenic-highlights\/scenic-views\/scenic-highlight-details.cfm\/businessid\/63567\/nodeid\/8\/regionid\/3\/startrow\/1\/endrow\/0\/seed\/211207.html\">Cantebury plains<\/a> that we passed through on our journey seemed just so-so. The above was taken at a viewpoint overlooking the Oamaru Habour. I love the pristine blue of the Pacific Ocean waters which complimented the bright red of the boat and the yellow-green of the grass perfectly. <\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Canon 40D technical report:<\/strong> Even though the 70-200mm f\/4 lens (non-IS) is one of my favourites in terms of optical sharpness, it was frequently let down at the long end when using slower shutter speeds without the stability of a tripod. The 40D can produce near-noiseless images at ISO 800 (compared to ISO 400 for my old 20D). This came in handy as the higher ISO allowed me to use a faster shutter speed even at long focal lengths, enabling me to hand-hold the camera for such shots with confidence \ud83d\ude42<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.elcreations.org\/engloy\/photoblog\/wp-content\/photos\/thumb_20071209_40D_0009.jpg\" width=\"130\" height=\"89\" alt=\"Red Boat Of Oamaru\" \/>","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[6,7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-406","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-landscapes","category-travel","entry"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/przUn-6y","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.elcreations.org\/engloy\/photoblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/406","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.elcreations.org\/engloy\/photoblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.elcreations.org\/engloy\/photoblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.elcreations.org\/engloy\/photoblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.elcreations.org\/engloy\/photoblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=406"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.elcreations.org\/engloy\/photoblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/406\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.elcreations.org\/engloy\/photoblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=406"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.elcreations.org\/engloy\/photoblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=406"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.elcreations.org\/engloy\/photoblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=406"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
