Auckland War Memorial Museum - February 2000

Page 1

Visited the Auckland, New Zealand War Memorial Museum. Their Zero and Spitfire are VERY dimly lighted and are located in a very small room, making photography difficult. I used 800 ASA film pushed to ASA 1600 and a 28-70 zoom lens. The room actually requires a shorter lens, but I don't like to use less than 28mm because of distortion.

Supermarine Spitfire

The Auckland War Memorial Museum only has 2 aircraft. Both of the aircraft are on the second floor. This aircraft is on the left, the Zero is on the right of the main stairway.
