New Zealand was NOT a bad place to be during lockdown because I was able to go out on walks in nature every day. How special! Luckily, I live out in the country, so I was able to wander off in different directions. I would take photos almost every day. Here's one of the many paths I walked along the way. Also, believe it or not, I took this one with my pixel phone. No, this is not a paid add for Google! :) Read more: https://stuckincustoms.com
As you can see, this isn't exactly the sharpest photo in the world, but I still think it's cool. The shutter was plenty fast enough at 1/250th of a second, but I had to get the ISO up super high to 12800. That's why you see all the grain. It's not the end of the world, and most non-photographers would even notice... I probably should not have even pointed it out! Read more: https://stuckincustoms.com
Before I get into the panoply of reasons, I can first tell you this is one of my favorite new photos I took a few weeks ago on a road trip through the north island. Just looking at this photo, I remember the calmness and serenity in the natural fibonacci rolling of the hills. It’s another one of those meaningful moments that sneaks up on you, and they mostly seem to happen in nature, at least for me. What a trip! I saw, after the debate, some of the most popular Google searches were: 'how to move to Canada' and 'how to move to New Zealand' - yeah I get it! I'm not being political or anything by the way… but here are the reasons I moved here about ten years ago. Note I didn’t include benefits such as medical care (universal, free, etc), a sane legal system (no personal injury litigation, etc), and many more, as those aspects are well-known. These are my 7 personal reasons! :) Read more: https://stuckincustoms.com
