Sure, the passports.govt.nz website provides guidelines for submitting photos and there is a jovially ‘hip style' video which paints an "oh too easy" simplification on how to avoid the errors that eventually my attempts have been rejected for. It seems to accentuate my inability to be successful big time. Once rejected, each critique offers little suggestion as to “how to fix" the attempts being made for a subsequent resubmission. One critique even implied that a colour photo i had submitted was black and white. Subsequent submissions have then included different rejection comments that could also have applied to earlier submissions.
My choice to submit an online application is aimed precisely to achieve the goal of using the internet to save travel and expense of passport renewal, lifelong learning and staying connected in a digital world as a pensioner. Undertaking tasks online should be a breeze but I am finding this task not so simple at all. Surely there could be a template provided with instructions of how to set multiple phones or cameras to achieve the desired aspect ratio, pixel size and light intensity? I have a 20megapixel Sony xperia smartphone which takes impressive photos - but this assignment has almost got me stumped. Relevant comments would be appreciated.
I will withhold my far from friendly looking attempts at photo submission meanwhile.

… View moreCRASHING COLOSSOS: Skyscraper Edition
START HEIGHT : 100cm
BUILD HEIGHT : 200+cm (The biggest available in NZ)
LEVELS : 22
BLOCKS : 66 of them, made from the highest grade (clears) Pinus Radiata, grown right here in the ‘Land of the long white cloud’.
Crashing Colossos - Classic is $169.90
Start Height 60cm with 42 level if wanting another option
Also Tabletop edition is available - $29.90
SOLID BUILD : Like the normal sized Jenga! (This game does not space the blocks apart like other giant Jenga or giant tower versions to give the impression of size) reusable (if looked after) double layer cardboard box.
SETUP: Find a flat and firm area to start building from or the Colossus will not reach its full height potential. Build the Colossus in 3 block wide layers, each new layer at a right angle to the layer below it. Stack all 22 layers (66 blocks) n a tidy fashion. Children should start with only 16 layers.
GAME PLAY: Game builder starts. Using only one hand remove a block from anywhere except the top layer and place it on top of the Colossus. The top layer must be complete before building another. All layers are placed at right angles to the layer below it. If a block is moved only part way out before getting stuck the player is allowed to move on to a new block. The person whose turn makes the Colossus crash is the loser.
INSTRUCTIONS: Laminated
MADE IN: New Zealand
PLAYERS: 1 – 6
AGE : 7 & up, children should start with only 16 layers or less
PLAY FULL SIZE OR REMOVE A FEW LEVELS FOR KIDS
PLAY INDOORS ALL YEAR ROUND!
Inspired by the great family game Jenga (taken from South African game Ta-Ka-Radi) we set out to create a pimped out giant Jenga tower, this gave birth to the next evolution.
