Not sure George, Season 2 of the TV series The Rings of Power is/was filmed in the UK apparently (I think Season 1 was filmed in NZ)
The new film is called The Hunt for Gollum (1st of 2 films), being filmed in Wellington (North Island) is all I could find out. I'm not sure how much is location shooting vs studio / CGI and some speculation of how much existing footage from all the previous films they can use. (I'm not sure about that personally).
Wellington is also the place where the Weka Studios is located, where they did all the filming of miniature models, made the special effects, weapons, costumes etc. You can do tours there.
I've met people here before who were extras in the original trilogy of films, apparently 2/3 of the populace were employed as extras !

One of the places I stay at on my days off is where I was shooting the Aurora, this is the jetty from the 1st shots. It faces across Lake Wakatipu to Cecil Peak and I hauled my lazy ass outta my warm bed on Tuesday. It's a 10 minute walk from the van.
I caught a little colour at the van but by the time I got to the jetty it had gone. However the clouds had gaps in them that allowed the light through onto the peak and the breeze carrying the clouds provided an ever changing pattern.
I thought I'd also try a long exposure to smooth out the lake surface and found out that the clouds were moving fast enough for this pleasing effect. I had a CPL, 10 stop, ND8 and ND4 filters stacked on the PC 28/3.5 @ 5.6 on the Fuji GFX @ ISO100.
I'm going to clean the sensor this weekend so that I can shoot past 5.6 without seeing all the hundreds of dust bunnies in the sky !
Anyway, here's the shot, usual X-PAN 65:24 in cam crop

Serge, I love that interior shot. I lived in NYC for 10 years and somehow managed to never go. George, there’s something about that fisheye shot as well that has great environment too it.
A couple from this morning. It’s been grey all week, fortunately I like B&W.

All I got is a Tiger Lily facing right, or facing left...hmmm These flowers my mother transplanted from the family farm in Indiana, to various houses they lived in - in Indiana, and Michigan. I had a clump of about 6 plants that would grown over six feet tall each year. Unlike the variety that has long leaves at the base of the plant - this variety has it's leaves along the stem. I had one stalk, years ago, produce 23 flowers, and was over 7 feet tall. These also produce purple berries where the leaves meet the stem. I thought they had all died due to the shade in the yard, but Barb found this one and cut it for me.
Nikkor 200mm f2.0 ai f2.8 facing right, and wide open facing left. 21 and 7 image focus stacks.
