South Island

If members want me to tag the location of my images, let me know and I will add them as I work my way through my images.

Not a problem for me.

This maybe of interest to some. Franz Joseph glacier. I was unable to get any closer as at this point in time, the walking track has been washed out from flood waters.

great image Gary, i tried a crop on it but i think the original is better

 

No worries about having a go at this image. I was hoping for a nice pinkish sunset image of the glacier, but the weather didn't play ball. So I ended up with this flat midday image. Also against me was that the walking path to the glacier has been washed out, so you can't get near it at the moment. This is pretty well as good as it is going to get for the time being. Tomorrow I'll post the Fox glacier image. You can see it through the murk, but the road got washed out. So again, you can't get near it. This part of the world can get some big rain dumps.

good oppretunity to photograph the washed out roads, might look funky with a long exposure low down

 

I did think about going down the blocked road, but they had barriers up, it was raining, it was cold, and the sandflies love me. So I was a bit of a wuss.

Gary

 

Great image, Gary. I would have been happy to get that.

 

The following day, we saw Fox Glacier through the murk. A three image pano. Another image where it is a yes/no to post.

I like the image quite a lot, Gary, the reflection sets it off beautify.

 

i like the diagonal tones on the right going from black through grey to white

 

I can see a return visit being penciled in Craig for another season.

I was after a nice sunset photo on this one. But the weather was not playing ball.

And now we move to birds. I am going to post a few of a native bird called a Tui.

looks tasty,

 

I am sure that they are. There were three or four of them feeding on nectar.

I have tried this sort of image before, and I am pretty sure that I can improve on this.

Gary

 

Another.

A Tui, I only see only a oni, sorry bad humor, could not help myself. nice image though, Gary.

 

Nothing wrong with bad humour. There were actually fouri of them.

Great thread with fabulous images Gary. Great framing and wonderful vibrant colours. Well done mate!

 

Thanks for the comments.

Sadly this little series of images is done. I need to go on holiday again to grab some more. If I could only have those winning lottery numbers, I would have both the time and money. Work does get in the way.

When I am out and about, I will add more to this thread.
