The mountains are actually more than 50km away, just quite big.

The photo is not from a building I would say, seeing as you can see Christchurch CBD in one. Well, might be from a building on a hill.

I wear suits and I'm awesome.

Nice, I was going to ask if you asked to be let on top of the building, as there is a pretty large building across the road from me which would be perfect for taking a few city scapes, but I'm doubtful if they would let just anyone onto their roof.

Do you have a notebook with you (in the car or what ever) so you can check your photos quickly?

You are obviously far far far superior to me in photography ways, but I'll take a whole load of photos which look perfect on the lcd screen, get home and they are at least a bit out. This is especially the case on a bright sunny day, even when attempting to take your sunny 16 rule into play. :P

Although my big problem is that I need to take more photos.

nope no notebook, but you have to remember I have been a printer and designer for a long long time so I know how to read a curve properly.

Do you use the histograms at all on your camera?

Because of our small amount of channels and small timetable.

If you want to blame someone, blame the fuckheads who sit in front of the TV with their mashed potatoes and boiled carrots while watching Shortland St.

Shitty shows like that is what takes up our TV timetable leaving no room for decent shows.

think youll find it has more to do with a) ratings b) cost of the programme Rii as opposed to ohh a very small handful of homegrown entertainment taking up all the slots.

considering tv2 for instance runs 24 horus a day. out of that, 4.5 hours max are filled by nz shows.

A+ show, I recently watched all espisodes (up to current release) on Jonty's recommendation and can safely say it's my favourite show at the moment.

It's badass, gripping and awesome 8)

I was more or less pointing out the fact that NZ airs crappy TV that takes up the viewing time table. Shortland St. was an example.

I'm angry and sad.

4.5 hours of primetime TV.
All filled with NZ reality bullshit, and shortland st, which is also bullshit, but less reality.
