One of the corridors that run underground at Northead. These tunnels were built during the war to look out to sea and also facing the city. While many that often led to gun emplacements are now blocked off, a few are still open to the public to explore. Shot at F4.5, Shutter speed of 1/30sec, I.S.O 800 with a Focal Length of 34mm.

Auckland City in the early morning looking inland across the Waitemata harbour from Northead, Devonport. One of New Zealands great icons, the Skytower clearly stands out against the early morning sky. Shot at F5.6, Shutter speed of 1sec, I.S.O 800 and Focal Length at 95mm

Looking out to sea across the Hauraki Gulf from Northhead we see the sun rising behind Rangitoto Island, another New Zealand icon. During World War 2, a Japanese submarine was seen travelling past Rangitoto and heading into the harbour, luckily to no effect however. Shot at F9, shutter speed 1/80sec. I.S.O 100 with a Focal length of 21mm
