[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
~~~ 9 Days to go before saying good bye to the farm life (YES!!!!) and Hello to the beach life (OH YEAH!!)

This is Papamoa Beach, around 25kms a white sand wild beach, which goes all the way to the Mount Maunganui you can see at the end. We lived here when we arrived in NZ 2 years ago, then we thought the farm life was going to be a big break... wrong choice!! And am really happy to come back close to the Pacific Ocean!

So you wont be seeing anymore cow pictures from me!! ;)
We found a house which is just minutes away from this beach, so you might see some nice beach shots instead! ~~~

No more cows?! Well anyway, seeing this photo gives me a taste of what is to come. And I like it! You even included people in your shot ;-). Nice POV and a good feeling of depth here, which is greatly enhanced by the pine trees on the dunes. And as surplus, they provide a nice reflection on the wet sand.
I’m sure you will have a blast living here and I wish you the very best. Now you can finally get rid of those leather knee high boots and straw hat and put on plastic slippers while carrying an inflatable crocodile around! ;-)
Thanks and good luck!

Hello LuDivine!
Amazing panorama. Wonderful landscape. Nice lightness. Good composition. Good luck!

What a nice place to live - I look forward to more pictures. My ideal is a farm beside the beach!!
Good luck with your move.
Cheers

Hello LuDivine, You have chosen a very stunning place to live. Will look forward to seeing many more beach scenes from you! As a youngster I spent several holidays visiting my relatives in this area. TFS. Cheers, Pat.

WOW! Lucky you LuDivine. Papamoa - I know of that beach - lovely! Tauranga is a great place to visit too.
I can see the Mount in the distance - nice panorama, the colours look a little too dark, but it's a well composed image,

Wow, congratulations on the move! I look forward to seeing your shots from your new home. I'll be in touch, my business brings me to Tauranga on a regular basis. :)

Beautiful sweeping panoramic shot, by the way - lovely saturation and tones.
