The Southern Alps, New Zealand

[thereyougo!3]

Drove from Christchurch to Queenstown today - originally had a flight booked, but decided to change arrangements even though flight was non refundable, and drive via Lake Tekapo, and drive down Mount Cook Road. It meant that my drive from Mount Cook to Queenstown was in the dark, but the light was glorious, and I've hardly even started looking at the shots yet, but here are a few I've had a little play with:


Lake Tekapo:

Mount Cook and Lake Pukaki:

Mount Cook and Mount Cook Road:

Mount Cook range almost an hour after sunset (15 min exposure)

Nice. I like #1, 3 & 4 the best. #2 looks too cool to me. #5, I personally would clone out the contrails and bring the exposure up on it.

Those are not contrails. They're star trails. They're all the same length and angle. It was a long exposure.

I think that they're all quite good.

OH okay, now I see the others. At first, I only saw the two on the right side. (blind in one eye and can't see out of the other )
