  Sometimes using the latest and highest quality images aren’t the best thing to do. Check out the current imagery for Napier, for example. It is at a resolution of .3M and taken around 2015, but you’ll see that it appears… Read More ›

• Making Lake Wanaka Blue Again

  By Lyndiman on November 26, 2017 • ( 1 )

  

  Today I put together an optional patch for the South Island. If you fly over Lake Wanaka, you’ll notice that it’s a combination of ortho and water which usually looks quite good, but if the ortho is captured with large… Read More ›

• Coromandel Seams fine to me

  By Lyndiman on November 15, 2017 • ( 1 )

  

  Yesterday I worked on the Coromandel, to tidy up the seam between photo sets. This should mean that I only have some issues to fix around Raglan and the Hawkes Bay before I’m halfway through the North Island redo. Here’s… Read More ›
