Photos From Nelson.

[Gavin Conroy]

Here are a few shots taken in Nelson with the Canon 70-300 DO Lens.
It taken a while to sort some out and the lens seems to be good and getting better the more I use it.
A friend of mine let me try his first and following some good results I got one as well.
Sharpness is good, the only down side I can see so far is a lack of contrast but that can be easily fixed.
I actually bought the lens for a different purpose but will be taking out and about more often.

Was also quite surprised at how many Q 300s pass through Nelson.

wonder what inflight service is on Kakapo Air Lines

Not sure how that bird shot got in there but perhaps bird seed and cuttlefish would be on the menu

Gavin, Air Nelson operate the Dash 8 Q300 and their main engineering and hub is at Nelson. Nice photos. Nelson is quite an open airport which must make photography there a bit easier.

Great shots Gav, I love Nelson and would really like to have a wander around the airport there someday, as it was an important General Reconnaissance station in WWII. Have you any photos of the airport itself, and the original buildings from the wartime period at all?
