Couldn’t believe my luck, took a detour on the way to work via Petone Esplanade and low and behold! is this the mystery machine? Scooby, Scooby Doo Where are you?, this is as Kiwi iconic as it gets, 9.30 in the morning on a busy road by the sea and all the occupants are asleep!
kiwi spirit, travel light, can do, next stop South Island?
Look at the distortion from the wide angle lens on the rear wheel, that combi is raring to go bro!
Shot on a Nikon D700, 17-35mm Nikkor Lens

Hi, Kia Ora from New Zealand, i have recently moved to Papamoa in the Bay of Plenty. I have spent the last thirty years taking photos, I love capturing images, especially ones that only I saw, only I was silly enough to get up at that time to catch the sunrise, photography is a wonderful thing, capture an image and you preserve the moment forever, miss it, and its lost forever.
Hope that you enjoy these images.

fantastic shot,,, well done
Ken, I’m loving how you do the skies…. got any tips?
yep, start with a very wide angle lens, this 17mm is fantastic, what I do is to rebuild the image in photoshop, I shoot to capture a much info as possible, shooting RAW, this gives me a massive range of colour, the shot I take looks flat, PSD brings it to life.
