LOOKING ACROSS COOK STRAIT THROUGH INFRA-RED. A view of the South Island, taken from Wainui Hill (a prominent position on the Day’s Bay side of the harbour opposite Wellington city) with a telephoto lens and an infra-red plate. This new process in photography disposes of the haze of distance and reveals clear-cut many objects which the eye cannot see. In the illustration above, the waters of Port Nicholson provide the foreground, with the bays along the shores of Miramar Peninsula in the centre. The peaks of the Kaikouras, in the South Island make an imposing background, with Cook Strait an almost insignificant waterway dividing the two islands.
