    Sorry my mistake. You are of course correct, the term is 'shielded'. If you are in Auckland and have time there are some good shots to be had out on the west coast. There are rugged black sand surf beaches behind cliffs and rises (Piha). Travel time by car from Auckland city about 30/40 minutes

    2 Zoom Abandoned Mine at Chatterley Whitfield - Staffordshire UK

    I did/do the same. Use PTE AV Studio. I check out Barry Beckham's (Beckham Digital) postings and site often. He has been a great inspiration and I love his industrial montages. See jpg. Good luck with future projects.

    2 Zoom Abandoned Mine at Chatterley Whitfield - Staffordshire UK

    Hi restyler, Great video. One of the best I've seen. Love sound tack and the very intersting captions. To be honest I prefer these industrial heritage topics to the usual 'nice scenery' flybys (although I'm mainly a 'nice scenery' shooter myself).

    Mini 2 Lower Huia Dam Cinematic Flight Auckland, New Zealand

    The dam is for water suplly purposes, not for power generation. The big funnel is the overflow drain which exits below the dam into a river. The water is unusually low at the moment as we have had quite a dry spell

    Mini 2 Decimated New Zealand Forest (Western Springs)

    They had grown old and were not faring well and posed a risk to the public. Once the native bush has regrown the place will belightful. Western Springs park is on a field of basaltic volcanic rock and was the source of early Auckland's water supply.
