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.

9/10 Wonderful! (1,005 reviews)
The only thing that made this room good was location to the airport, unfortunately there were too many negatives. The shower was filthy, the sheets weren’t overly clean. No restaurant or even “snack” option as we arrived after 10pm and to top it off we were right next to a generator that went on ...
