About This Page
Hello and welcome to my gallery site about my stays in New Zealand. My first stay was a student exchange for nine months between my home university University of Technology Darmstadt and the University of Canterbury in Christchurch. During this stay I fell in love with the country and the people. That's why I returned. I collected the shots of my stays and you might notice a difference in quality and style among those shots: There's a difference of almost five years, so this probably can be expected.Early shots were done with an Olympus 2020, the later ones with Pentax *ist DS and the later IR shots with my D7IR.
If you are interested in a German description how I organized and experienced the student exchange, you are welcome to read through www.jensroesner.de/nz, but if you are looking for a pictorial tour of New Zealand, this is the right page.
If you are interested in the artistic or technical aspects of my photography, you are welcome to browse through JensRoesner.de.
