Which state is this in?

[GeoffBlackmore]

@McAusten - NZ

[McAusten]

@GeoffBlackmore - OK so this is NOT in Australia, then?

[GeoffBlackmore]

@McAusten - That's correct, New Zealand is not part of Australia.

Awesome use of the tripod, Geoff! Your shot composition is great, too. I think you pulled back at just the right time. The train hadn't shrunk away significantly and we also get a view of the environment it was in, which is a significant part of the shot.

Do you have a professional video camera? I've been watching your clips for quite a while now and your camera along with your cinematography is of an awesome standard. I'd imagine looking at a camera similar to yours when mine carks it.

Camera was sitting on a fence post :)

It's actually just the movie mode on my still camera rather than a video camera, so it's pretty good for what it is.

Thanks for commenting :)

Used to love walking past this sort of view in Napier every morning on the way to school

Nice shot!

I like this place (C-track) and zooming.

Hey Geoff

Great job mate. The conditions didn't look all that favorable.
