Good Photo Spots

By Jane Muller, Councillor for Communications

If you’re off on a photography holiday, or just have half an hour to sneak away with your camera when you’re out of town, PSNZ has a new website page that could point you and your camera in the right direction for some great photos.

Good Photo Spots (GPS) is a list of places in New Zealand to go to for photography. You’ll find locations that the Information Centre or Trip Advisor etc may not know about. They are great for photos and could be just what you’re looking for.

These are not the secret and special places that only you and your best photography friends know about. We don’t want to turn those into new “Wanaka Tree” situations! They are just places that most photographers in your area know about, but people from out of town may not.

It’s a work in progress though. It needs members’ input to make it really useful. There’s a link on the page for you to add more “spots”. The more we can add, the better it will be.

To avoid the information about each spot going out of date, and to save vital and generous PSNZ volunteers from more work keeping the information current, we have deliberately chosen just to name the places. Users will need to google the “spots” to find up-to-date information.

Thanks to all the people who have already contributed “spots”. We couldn’t have done it without you. If none of your home town places are on the page, how about adding to it now!

If you use the page ̶ thanks, and good luck. If your images are not what you hoped for – better luck next time, and please don’t “shoot” the messenger! To find the page, log into the Members Area of the PSNZ website https:// photography.org.nz/ and scroll down to Good Photo Spots.
