While I was up at Coronet a few weeks ago there was a real variation in the lighting in the sky over the course of an hour or so. Here is one of the more interesting patterns that it made.
“The TSS Earnslaw is a 1912 Edwardian twin screw steamer based at Lake Wakatipu in New Zealand. It is the only remaining commercial passenger-carrying coal-fired steamship in the southern hemisphere.”
Thanks Wikipedia!
I’ve been up on Coronet Peak quite a bit over the past few weeks for an upcoming project which I’m looking forward to sharing. It’s been fun to see the ever-changing conditions and find different angles to capture. Here’s one of the views…
I’m hoping we can squeeze a few more weeks out of the awesome autumn/fall colors that are currently exploding around Queenstown (and Arrowtown) and then it’s on to winter in June/July… It’s been over a decade that I’ve been here, and it still feels a bit weird to have winter in the summer months. 🙂
The road from Queenstown to Glenorchy is a treasure-trove of awesome photography options. One day as I was returning home around sunset this lovely scene presented itself and I just had to pull over and grab the image.
Another glimpse of those wild fall/autumn colors in Queenstown…
It’s pretty much peak Autumn here in NZ. Normally at this time we’d be gearing up for a workshop but Covid put a stop to that for a couple of years. Things are looking good for next year though and I have a bunch of people all signed up. If you’d like to join them then head over here to find out more! Oh, and if you own one of my NFTs you get a 25% discount on the workshop!
I captured this while I was out for a walk one February evening… where of course it’s late-ish summer in the upside-down land of New Zealand. It was taken on that good old 10-18 Sony which was never designed for a full frame sensor but worked great at most of the range when lens choices were quite different on the A7’s!
Here’s an image from just behind my place in Queenstown while I was having a bit of fun upon first receiving the Hasselblad X1D a few years back…
Things are really heating up on the planning front for my schedule in 2023. Hopefully I’ll be able to announce some of it soon. I’ll miss the views around Queenstown, such as this one, but it will be awesome to get travelling again!
