    Four images from Fiordland NP in New Zealand. The day was so overcast and gloomy that these images were not very impressive in colour. I converted them to Black and White using NIK Silver Efex Pro 2, what a difference.

    A little Canon stuff

    I must admit that it has been a very long time since I was down in that part of the world. But it is on my to revisit list. I think that parts of NZ work better in mono than colour, especially the wet and cloudy parts.

    When i was scrolling through the images, when I first saw the last image, I thought, self portrait.

    Haha, he does look a bit grumpy. I can assure you that I had a smile on my dial whilst cruising through that magnificent area.
