Christchurch City East, one of Derek's earlier panoramic photos of Christchurch City, as seen from the Port Hills.

Created on the 6th of October 2007 using a powerful telephoto lens, hundreds of images were taken of the city then stitched together using Autopano software by Alexandre Jenny, of Kolor fame.

This image is the East side of a larger panoramic, the West side is also available to purchase, or you can contact us for a special edition full sized print.

This image is also a zoomable interactive tour in our Gigapixel section.

Sit back and take time to explore.

Looking across the plains to snow capped mountains looming above Christchurch City, we see a very cold start to the day. Smoke from the fires can't quite make it into the sky so hung around between the trees and buildings, hoping to warm as the dawn slinks into the past.

Church of the Good Shepherd, Tekapo, 2009.

Back in 2009, the church was popular for tourists and photographers, but no way the mayhem that we see today.

A beautiful sunset of pastel colours harkens the coming nigh.

The ANZ Bank was built in 1912. Located on High Street, Christchurch it sustained substantial damage in the Earthquakes and was demolished in 2011.

Canterbury Fire II, a stunning sunset taken from close to the car park at the base of Mount Vernon, Banks Peninsula.

From memory these were taken Late August 2010, 1 week before the first earthquake hit the district.

The panoramas "Canterbury Fire I" and "Canterbury Fire II" were taken before this panorama.
