South Island

Looking forward to them Gary, Cheers

 

And another years break comes to an end. I'll post a few over the next few days.

Day one at Lake Manapouri.

From the shores of Lake Te Anau.

And from the same location with the tops of the mountains catching the last light of the day.



Same gear as above.

An excellent landscape, Gary.

 

Gary,like the previous image, both are very good, it is the layer of cloud that is the defining element in both images.

 

Thanks for the comments Craig. There are one or two more to come yet.

Gary

 

I must remember to turn IS back on after I turn it off. So it is not the sharpest image I have ever taken. A foggy start to the day. Again, lake Te Anau.

I think the fog saved you, Gary. Hard to tell if it is sharp or not. I like it how it is.

 

Thanks Ray. Yes, I think that you are right.

But I will add another from the same morning.



Same camera gear and time as above.

Gary

 

Great set. Some of the images with mountains took my breath away. I am a sucker for mountains anyway.

 

This looks like an iconic location. I have seen pictures of this in other forums, Outdoor Phorgarpher Magazine for one.

 

Thanks for your comments Sundar. I will be posting more mountain images in this thread.

This image is of the Wanaka Tree. It is a well known spot. I kind of wanted to go and photograph it, but also sort of didn't because it is so well known. We were staying in town, so we ended up there. I have been told that there can be bus loads of people there all trying to get an image of the tree. But because of NZ closing the borders because of Covid, there were only two of us there. That made the experience nicer.

Gary

 

The start of us making our way to Doubtful Sound from Manapouri.

nice image, Gary, I like the foggy background

 

I do like images where there are no reference points in the foreground and background.

Gary

 

I like these images as it reminds me of the wooded areas around the highland lakes of the central plateau of Tasmania.

 

Thanks Craig.

There are more to come.

Gary

 

Gary, it is the bird in this image that gives it that certain touch.
