开车从昆士城去蒂阿瑙，路上会经过无数背依峻峰的牧羊草场。有羊已经很有看头了，再配上山里和天空的天气剧变，感觉就更棒了！
我还算不得一个“羊语者”，但我发现，如果想接近栅栏拍照必须得小声再小声。一只受了惊，大伙儿就都跟着跑了。

开车进入米尔福德，你也许会觉得目的地其实不重要，开到哪儿算哪儿。相信我，这句话其实很深刻！
如果想找冷门徒步路线，猴子小溪(Monkey Creek)会是个不错的选择。停下车，花上个把钟头四处走走，绝对值得一试。即使不带照相机，这里也绝对能让你大饱眼福。

前几天我上传了三张旅行照，今天再送上三张！对了，有些照片再昨天上传的视频中已经出现过了……现在送上大图神马的！
开车从蒂阿瑙（ Te Anau ）到米尔福德峡湾（Milford Sound），会经过一处绝妙的小溪，名叫Monkey Creek，足足够你玩上几个钟头！
旅行就是从昆士城瓦卡蒂普湖（Lake Wakatipu）开始。这天春光灿烂，湖上一叶轻舟飘动。一切都是如此宏大。大湖与小船一对比，足见其壮丽了吧……那船感觉就像小玩具一样！

全家人跳上车，到米尔福德峡湾来一次公路旅行。我拍了些照片，先跟大家分享其中三张。我知道，平常都是每日一瞥，今天算是额外好礼啦！
由蒂阿瑙（Te Anau）通往米尔福德的公路美得不可思议。漫长的草原驰行过后，眼前就是这片通向大山深处的小森林。
沿山里的公路疾驰，期间会遇到100多座瀑布。一点不开玩笑！很多都隐藏在葱郁的密林中。如果不是运气好突然撞见，你根本看不到。

在新西兰南部峡湾地带有个漂亮的小镇“Te Anau”。前往米尔福德峡湾（Milford Sound ）和神奇湾（Doubtful Sound），这里是个不错的驻足之处。 这里也是摄影圣地。开车用不了多久，便有无限的风景。我起了个大早开车前往神奇湾，在后视镜里看到了这一幕

All this news out of New Zealand is still upsetting. I’ve got a lot of contacts and friends down there… and I know it’s a rough time. Not much I can do… feel a little useless… so about the best I can do is post some serene and gentle photos of the nicer side of nature. I hope all my friends down there find it gets a little easier as the days move forward.

We have some fun video from the appearance on Leo Laporte‘s The Tech Guy yesterday. When I was out at Leo’s cottage a few weeks ago, he brought up the idea of doing a photography podcast on his network. I gave him the thumbs up and said I thought it sounded like a good idea! He said he wanted to put it together with me, Lisa Bettany, and Ray Maxwell. If you want to hear the latest in those discussions, fast-forward to the 12:30 mark.
Otherwise, we talk about HDR, the DVD, we critique on of his HDR shots, and this sort of thing. As far as links we mentioned, you can go to the HDR Camera Recommendations and the free HDR Tutorial.
And, after the interview, I forgot I was still on Skype! So, he caught me carrying my computer back to the office… but I did capture some more behind-the-scenes stuff that you may enjoy…hehe. You may enjoy seeing what happens during the commercial breaks of these shows… !
If you want to subscribe to more of Leo’s podcasts, just visit his main TWIT site. He has everything from the hit weekly show This Week in Tech that has John Dvorak as a regular to my fellow Austinite Brian Brushwood on NSFW. They have it all there!
Despite what I said in the podcast, sometimes you do want to go beyond +2 to -2 ! I can’t go through every caveat in those short soundbytes… but this exemplifies such a case. In this photo of the sunset over the Tasman Sea, off the coast of New Zealand, I did take 7 exposures form +3 to -3. Whenever you aim the camera right into the sun, you need to expose even more range than normal.
I am going back to New Zealand for about a month in October. It will be a blast! This time, I’ll be spending most of my time on the South Island, exploring around… I hope to bring back more wonderful finds from the wild for you!

I recently edited together and posted this scene from the south island of NZ, when I was out in this beautiful meadow at sunset. I was using a 70-200mm lens, so I used this to add to my Nikon 70-200 Review.
If you’d also like to see the resulting photo, check out the Video on the Valley of Abundance page.
When I was in New York City, I had the good fortune to spend time with Steve Simon. We had breakfast at this great little French place and then went around to do a bit of shooting. We stopped at his place and went up to the roof. Peering over the side, I saw this and thought it was kinda nice… so I grabbed a quick one.
Be sure to visit Steve’s site on the link above. He has amazing work and I am sure you will get a kick out of it!

I arrived a little late to the show, and the girl that clicked us in said there were over 200 people there! Crazy! But it was really awesome to see this World’s Largest High Resolution Tiled Wall display. I enjoyed meeting a bunch of new people, seeing other artists, and checking out the whole scene.
A gentleman there named David Ingram (Dingatx on Flickr) grabbed this photo below to give you some idea of the scene.
This was an incredibly difficult photo to achieve!
I did this one live, in front of my HDR Workshop in Tokyo. I like to tackle new photos in front of people so they can see how I struggle through the HDR process. It’s never easy… and I like to talk out loud and let people know my thinking process. I think this is a very interesting way to give a live tutorial, rather than go by some automated and predictable script. The way you think about all the unexpected problems, dodge and roll with the issues, and synthesize various tools to accomplish an end goal is an interesting process.
You’ll also see this on the upcoming HDR DVD. One night after an outing, I came back to process some brand new photos, and they all got to see me struggle through a few pieces to come up a satisfying work.
This was shot very recently when I was down on the extremely frigid coast of the Tasman Sea, on the southwest edge of New Zealand. With a wide-angle lens, you need to get in really close to this icy cold spray to get the splashes just right… I was completely soaked after this, and it felt (and smelled!) like I had just finished a multi-week crab hunt in the arctic!
You can see the edge of this one from the giant wall display above… This one was also taken not too far from Antarctica…but on the opposite side of the globe down near the southern tip of Argentina and Chile. The huge display allowed my son and I to walk up very close to it… there is a little iceberg there, and he saw the two rocks. He asked me what they were, and I told him that I threw them out there while waiting around!
