Won’t be long until the snow properly returns to Queenstown, followed super quickly by the skiers! For now, we have some awesome autumn colours kicking off.
One of my favorite things to do in NZ has been to explore the various Sounds, in this case I think it was Milford Sound. Always epic.
Next week is my next NZ photography workshop. Can’t wait to head out with a bunch of other photographers and take in the New Zealand autumn colours!
Sometimes right before dusk over in Mackenzie County there is a nice inversion layer that makes everything extra-dreamy.
I’m sure the attendees will be starting to pack their bags and charge their batteries. Ready for some awesome autumn colors!
It’s been a while since the Plotagraph website disappeared from the web. I guess it’s gone for good now. Shame. It was fun while it lasted!
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.
Queenstown, New Zealand in the Autumn… well this is kinda true and kinda not because these are all made with AI. I often use the phrase “in the style of Trey Ratcliff” at the end of the prompts. It’s so fun! Believe it or not, I do actually still take actual photos 🙂 See more from this series over on my Facebook.
Here’s a photo I got on the way to Mt. Cook/Aoraki, which is only a few hours from Queenstown. It’s one of the new stops we’re gonna do on the upcoming NZ Photo Adventure workshop happening soon!
… it’s even better than that rather amazing cover photo. 😉 It’s a photo I took from my favorite yoga & meditation retreat called Aro Ha @Aroharetreats. The book, Plant to Plate, contains a bunch of pictures of high-functioning hippies pulling plants out of the ground and then immediately sitting down and putting them right on a plate before eating them. They don’t even use utensils. No need. The plates are made from hemp by a group of free-range bonobos.
