The word Maheno means ‘island’ in Maori, which is the native language of New Zealand. The Maheno was built in Scotland in 1904 and was the world’s first ever triple screw steamer, weighing a massive 5323 tonnes. It was sold for scrap and being towed when the Maheno was hit by an unseasonal cyclone off the coast of Fraser. Attempts were made to refloat the Maheno unsuccessfully and eventually it was left abandoned on what is now known as 75-mile beach.
These were the mountains where we camped on our way back from holiday. It was an amazing view. This is a HDR photo merged in the new Lightroom 6 HDR merge function. It seems to work pretty well.
Here is my version of the progress of the lunar eclipse of last night - at least until the clouds rolled in. It was spectacular. This is the first time that I have tried to make a composite image like this - great fun.
