Westland Sunset

October 24th, 2011

Beams of sunset light shining through the coastal hills on the west coast of New Zealand. This shot was taken between Fox and Franz Josef glaciers by the side of the road after a long day of driving. I saw the light in the rear view mirror but couldn't see a good place to frame it. In the end I stopped just before turning the final corner into the mountains and got lucky!

Mount Sefton Genesis

October 15th, 2011

Morning light strikes Mount Sefton, part of the Mount Cook National Park in New Zealand. Mount Sefton is one of the lesser known peaks in the area, but still rises to over 10,000 feet.

Ferie

September 29th, 2011

This is the Milford Highway in New Zealand on a cold morning. It was taken while travelling out of Fiordland. After many days of perfect whether, when we finished exploring the natural attractions, the biggest snow storm in 50 years hit the southern island. This was the day before, and the first weather we had that was not clear blue skies. We drove into this area with a long straight road in the middle of a flat glacial valley, and I had to stop immediately. The lighting, the mist, the frost, everything worked out for a really nice photo.

Milford Sound Sunrise

September 7th, 2011

Morning light hits the peaks rising from Milford Sound, a fjord (yes, it really is a fjord not a sound!) in south west New Zealand. I got hugely lucky with the weather for this shot, as Milford Sound is the wettest inhabited place in New Zealand and one of the wettest in the world. New Zealand is a fairly long way south, which means in winter you can wake up at 7am and still have time to get out and catch the sunset! I drove down in the morning and caught this scene. Perfect weather, a lovely crisp -3 degrees, not a cloud in the sky, brilliantly calm water.

Queen Mary Falls

July 21st, 2011

Queen Mary Falls is a stunning waterfall southwest of Brisbane, Australia in Main Range National Park. Both the drive to this location and the waterfall itself are renowned for their beauty. This photo was taken at the end of a great day exploring the area. A tripod was used to hang the camera over the railing of the lookout area to take an unobstructed long exposure.
