Hey everyone,
I will be heading over to Auckland for the next week and was wondering if anyone has been and knows a particularly good place to check out and shoot...
Thanks

The tower in Auckland (which looks a lot like Sydney's Centrepoint tower, but is nicer and more stylish,) has bungee jumping from it. It makes quite an interesting photo opportunity. At night the tower has blue neon lights on either side of it so night shots of Auckland city are good.

I remember visiting some kind of war memorial but it wasn't that interesting (from a photographic POV.)

Other than that, there's stuff-all in Auckland.

My advice. Hire a car and leave the city.
Steve.
