Grey Lynn, Auckland City

Aurelie and I looked for houses around the Grey Lynn suburb area, which was nice enough. But we quickly gave up when we realized how bloody expensive it would be. Nice view though.

Steve was asking about how I achieved such "clarity" with my shots. There is a minimum amount of post-processing I do on every image that comes through the Am3 pipe. To achieve sharpness I will usually apply an Unsharp Mask (radius 1.0, weight 90%) on the original and then (depending on the image) apply another Unsharp Mask (radius 0.4, weight 60%) after I've resized the image down to 900 pixels or so. The radius and weights can be adjusted as desired.
