I have been messing around with a new video camera for work. A Flip Video Mino HD and over the last week or so I have been filming in and around where I live, which is of course, Auckland New Zealand.

Here is a video in High Definition, 720p for you to have a gander at.

I filmed this over 2 days while Cycling from Devonport in the North Shore of Auckland, over to the city and then along Tamaki drive.

Featuring, Auckland harbour, the Kea Ferry, The Ferry Building, Auckland Skytower, Mount Victoria, Okahu Bay, MAXX Commuter Train, Westpac Rescue Helicopter, Viaduct Harbour, Tamaki Drive, North Head and Rangitoto Island. Enjoy!

Airbus A380 Over Auckland : Photos

I finally managed to get a look at the new Airbus A380 as Australian Airline Qantas flew their new toy over Auckland today. It was chilly up on Mt Vic which was covered in plane spotters like me.

I got talking to a few friendly folk up there including an New Zealand "Airbus captain" and we talked "Planes" for a while until the Airbus A380 arrived.

It was Aprrox 1010 when the plane arrived it was incredibly quiet and flew low enough for a good look.

There was a bit of confusion among the spectators about how long the Airbus A380 would be showing off for and after its initial pass. it dissapeared up north. Myself and a few other plane spotters (all with Nikon cameras, lol) waited and waited for it to return, which it did at approx 10.50 where it flew directly over Mount Victoria again.

Overall it was well worth a look, the aircraft is big, slow and heavy looking although very very quiet.
