Daily photos 3rd year

At the Daily Gallery one picture, preferably taken that day; is shared with others. While that is difficult to follow (shooting everyday) I have been putting up a picture everyday and this is my THIRD year. It's been an enjoyable time viewing pictures of other members and learning new techniques and customs from different places. I think this is the best way to travel to places while sitting at home, and also making friends on the way! It has been a pleasure sharing my pictures and I thank all of you for taking the time to comment on my pictures. Earlier galleries: First year - Second year - Critiques welcome!

  • 3rd year Pic 156 - Feb 10 2011<br /> Shotover Jet ride<br /> <br /> New Zealand offers many outdoor activities and a Jet Boat ride is a must! We took one such ride on Shotover river in Queenstown. The Shotover Jet boat goes at 85 kms per hour and needs only 5" of water to travel! The scenic and dramatic ride is thru narrow canyons with sharp rocks and pebbly riverbed just inches away! When the Jet pilot holds up his hand and makes a circle, you need to hold on tight as he makes a 360 degree spin!! A thrilling experience!<br /> <br /> They don't allow (encourage) still or video cameras as the ride is rather rough and WET! But have you ever heard of a Smugmugger without a camera? :) I stashed my Nikon away and carried the P&S Leica and shot some pictures and a bit of video too. It was quite an experience to shoot with camera in one hand while holding on to the bar with the other!<br /> <br /> You can view one clip at link below. Beside the speed, check out how close he takes the boat to the shallow edge!<br /> <br /> <a href="http://hershy.smugmug.com/Travel/New-Zealand-Macau-Hong-Kong/Short-movie-clips/15409413_ohLDt#1153436597_sr2DV-A-LB">http://hershy.smugmug.com/Travel/New-Zealand-Macau-Hong-Kong/Short-movie-clips/15409413_ohLDt#1153436597_sr2DV-A-LB</a>

Auckland Zoo<br /> <br /> I shot this thru the glass of their enclosure where they were returning for food. <br /> <br /> Auckland Zoo has New Zealand's largest collection of animals and is recognised as one of the most progressive zoos in the world.<br /> A winner of national and international environmental-related awards, it is home to 117 different species and over 700 animals.<br /> <a href="http://www.aucklandzoo.co.nz/home.aspx">http://www.aucklandzoo.co.nz/home.aspx</a><br /> <br /> <br /> more pics of the Zoo: <a href="http://hershy.smugmug.com/Travel/New-Zealand-Macau-Hong-Kong/Auckland-Zoo/15126936_yVLtW">http://hershy.smugmug.com/Travel/New-Zealand-Macau-Hong-Kong/Auckland-Zoo/15126936_yVLtW</a>
  • 3rd year Pic 154 - Feb 08 2011<br /> Tuatara, Auckland Zoo<br /> <br /> Habitat: Tuatara live in burrows in native forests but they also enjoy abandoned sheep pasture, where possible nesting sites may be more numerous. They can share burrows with seabirds, such as petrels and shearwaters. Endemic to New Zealand and now found only on offshore islands such as Stephens Island, the Mercury Islands group, Hen and Chicken Islands and Poor Knights Islands.<br /> <br /> Age: The expected lifespan of tuatara is 60 to 70 years but it is possible for them to live for 100 years or more.<br /> <br /> Tuataras have been on earth for a very long time; in fact, they date back to the time of the dinosaurs. They are reptiles, but will often choose a damp dark hollow rather than be out in the full heat of the day because they have an unusually low body temperature optimum. Auckland Zoo has a number of different types or subspecies, of tuatara that come from different offshore islands. These include Stanley Island tuataras, Curvier tuataras and Stephen's Island tuataras.<br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.aucklandzoo.co.nz/explore-the-zoo/meet-the-animals.aspx">http://www.aucklandzoo.co.nz/explore-the-zoo/meet-the-animals.aspx</a><br /> <br /> more pics of the Zoo: <br /> <a href="http://hershy.smugmug.com/Travel/New-Zealand-Macau-Hong-Kong/Auckland-Zoo/15126936_yVLtW">http://hershy.smugmug.com/Travel/New-Zealand-Macau-Hong-Kong/Auckland-Zoo/15126936_yVLtW</a>
