Jenny's Photos
We got CD's of Jenny's digital photos in the mail yesterday. Thank you, Jen, but I just have one thing to say to you: "Bite me." Your pictures are awesome! I'm just going to delete all of mine and use yours, OK? They are much more artisticly composed than mine. And that camera of yours (Nikon D70) seems to not only get the exposure right for everything and have the resolution to capture every detail even at great distances, but I could hardly believe when I saw that it could actually capture what the subjects were thinking:
The sheep is clearly wondering why there are three rare yellow-eyed penguins waddling through his pasture. Of course we knew why, thanks to the interpretations of our informative guide, Regan. Yellow-eyed penguins, who only nest in the southern parts of South Island, nest up to two kilometers from the ocean. These three are on their way in to feed their spouses and offspring following a full day of feeding in the ocean. Shortly after this picture was taken we could hear the screeching cries of their spouses and offspring calling them to their nests in the bush. As you can see, yellow-eyed penguins are quite large, attaining lengths of 24-28 inches, one of the largest species of penguins.

I can't believe your photos arrived with me on the same day that mine arrived with you! Quite spooky.... Well I'm glad you liked them, as you know I did very little with the camera other than zoom, point and shoot (no panda jokes please...!!). Yours seemed a lot more vibrant than mine with the colours and you managed to get quite a few good non posed shots (I think my camera is so in your face it is far more difficult to be subtle - or maybe that's just me!). I like what you've done with the sheep on the penguin photo - I really love that photo too - I think the man penguins look like they're off to the pub! I can taste those yummy mussels Regan brought to the penguin viewing trip as I'm typing. By the way feel free to use as many photos on your website as you like. I am very tempted to go back to NZ soon - Singapore Airlines are doing a deal where if you buy a flight to NZ (or several other places) from the UK you can get a free flight to lots of other places, Bali being one of them (which I've always fancied..). I'm definitely looking into it anyway... Be in touch soon...
