PUTTING THE GEAR INTO PRACTICE - ON LOCATION AT TUNNEL POINT, DUNEDIN, OTAGO. Richard Young and I spent a great afternoon at Tunnel Point before one of our wildlife workshops. I’d seen pictures of Tunnel Beach before but had never been there myself, so it was a real treat to have a few hours with the place mostly to ourselves. Access is down a steepish track to a spectacular headland that juts into the sea. From here, a series of steps leads into a tunnel, and down to the beach below – however, this is only accessible at low tide and can be very dangerous when the tide is high or incoming. With waves crashing over offshore rock stacks and lapping around boulders at the base of the cliffs, there is huge scope for doing all sorts of different landscape photography: either details, a stitchtogether panorama, or telephoto shots of crashing waves. There are some exquisite colours on the cliffs, with the orange-yellow rocks combined with water streaks and green algae. Combined with the everchanging tide, this offers great possibilities for the landscape photographer. Just watch those surging waves, and don’t leave your bag on the sand! The three images here show the range of photography possible at Tunnel Beach: a detail of rocks and the incoming tide, a telephoto of waves, and a panorama stitched together from five vertical shots. The photo below was taken at the base of the Tunnel Beach cliffs using my 18-35mm Nikkor lens. Obviously I used a slowish shutter speed to get the movement of the sea washing in around the boulders. This next shot (top right) was taken using my 70- 300mm Nikkor lens. The telephoto allowed me to zoom in on the rock stack, and I used a cable to release the shutter just as the wave crashed in. This time, I wanted to freeze the wave action, so used a fast shutter speed. In the last shot (bottom right), I switched back to my 18-35mm lens, taking four vertical shots and later stitching them together in-post. This method allowed me to capture the wide seascape. On the left is the same sea stack in the previous image. The wet sand provided some reflection of the cliffs above. 16 March 2022 NZPhotographer
