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.

Sometimes right before dusk over in Mackenzie County there is a nice inversion layer that makes everything extra-dreamy.

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.

So Much Cleanup

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!
