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!
Nowadays I like to try and get out for regular walks around the Queenstown area. Going to the gym is all well and good for keeping fit but there’s nothing quite like wandering around on your own to clear your mind… or stimulate it by listening to an interesting podcast.
Queenstown has it’s own fairly decent sized airports so often larger planes can be seen arriving and leaving. Helicopters also frequent the area but these old fashioned planes were a real surprise to see a few years ago. Very cool!
Still the height of summer here in NZ, so what better reason to look back to a nice cool winter shot…
It’s been a really great summer here in NZ, minimal rain and I’ve been able to fit in some fun road trips in the sun. It won’t be long before we start hitting my favorite part of the year though, Autumn… or fall for some of you. Here’s a shot from a few years ago on one of my random walks just as the trees were changing.
I was thinking earlier, as it rained, that it had been a super long time since the last storm here. Queenstown is DRY at the moment and then the humidity kicked in after the showers earlier. Quite the number of seasons all in one short time which hopefully will make for a good sunset later! Here’s one of the few weather types we didn’t get today…
I’m heading out on a short road trip today with some friends… there will be some hot tub fun and we have a crazy idea to record a podcast while on the road. What could go wrong? I guess you’ll find out soon! This image is not of a road, or my destination. But it is a method of transportation… and it is New Zealand. So, it works as a daily photo… right?
This is a new area I discovered near Arrowtown and Queenstown in New Zealand. When the grasses get long in the late summer, they move in the breeze. It’s almost like you can see the wind itself while standing there. Those flying-saucer-shaped clouds are quite rare and are called Lenticulars. When you’re a photographer, you get to collect all sorts of useless information like that.
