Maupuia

Wellington

Propeller Studios, Shelly Bay, Wellington. The spot is part of a nice loop you can do around the Miramar peninsula, walking, on a bike or by car. The studios themselves are large and appealingly rundown old buildings. They house film prop rentals, some galleries and various artistic and creative endeavours, which are helpful to the nearby Wellington film industry (think Lord of the Rings etc) 

New Zealand. Nikon FE2 and 85mm Nikkor 1:2 lens. Illford 400 Delta.
