What are some photogenic areas around Auckland, New Zealand?

Question

Particularly to be photographed at dawn, but not specifically. Also, I'm not a tourist, I live in Auckland, so no, I do not want to photograph the sky tower.

Any help is appreciated!

Answer 1

you might find some interesting things at cornwall park (or one tree hill)

Answer 2

Piha Beach is a famous icon to be photographed. The Waitakere Ranges overlooking Auckland City and the Native Bush and Beaches would be awesome. One Tree Hill or Cornwall Park from the top of the Volcano or the Top of Mt Eden, or what about from Mission Bay Beach looking out to Ranitoto island...I hope you find the perfect sunrise! :)

Answer 3

What sort of photography are you after?

Landscape

beach

buildings

people

nature?

Answer 4

Waitakere ranges, Piha (of course), Devonport, The city waterfront.. Whip over to Rangitoto.. OoOoo or Kawau Island.. Its primo over there.. OK so Rangi Is and Kawau aren't exactly IN Auckland.. So sue me :P

Answer 5

Mt. Eden is amazing. If you are heading to Auckland, might as well head down to Rotorua. The geothermal activity is spectacular!
