So Much Cleanup

Daily Photo – So Much Cleanup

This was taken on a short chopper flight near Queenstown a bunch of years ago. I liked the shot but man, did it take an age to finish off. There was a lot of moisture in the air, and it was all over the window of the helicopter. I tried to position my lens with minimal droplet cover but loads of it still showed up. So, it was off to Photoshop for some significant, time consuming, clean up.

Daily Photo – Flickr no.1

Here’s my most viewed image on Flickr from those posted in 2023. I don’t remember the original post of this image doing anything out of the ordinary but on the re-share, which I think I did because I was working on a project that used this image at the time, it took off.

The Shapes and Textures of Wakatipu

Sometimes you spend ages finding a shot and sometimes things just align as if they were always meant to be that way…

Sailing on Lake Wakatipu

Daily Photo – Sailing on Lake Wakatipu

The car trip started here in Kingston on Lake Wakatipu. It was a perfect spring day, and there was a lone sailboat down on the lake. Everything is on such a big scale here, maybe you can get a sense of the overall size of the lake from the tiny sailboat on there… it looks like a toy!

The Dart River Delta

Daily Photo – The Dart River Delta

On a helicopter flight, we flew out over where the Dart River empties into the Wakatipu lake in Glenorchy. I don’t know about you, but I’m mesmerized by the patterns these deltas make. I’d love to see a time-lapse over the past 50,000 years of how it has changed. I wonder if there is a computer simulation out there that shows it.
