That's a great shot, I should have gone via before going to Auckland this trip (but I do have a couple of good shots from Christchurch)

I don't know how I missed this one. I was cleaning out my journals and stopped by your page to surprise you and saw this one.
Amazing shot. The color and setting are wonderful. What time of day was this?

nice view indeed... i really like how you caught the water and stones against the backdrop of the mountain... unfortunately you have some kind of halo around the mountain thats a bit disturbing.. I guess you merged different shots to get the exposure right in all the places.. other than that (which could be fixed easily) it's an amazing shot!

I can't believe I never put you on my watch. With these sorts of images, all I can say is 'my bad'.
From a quick perusal of your gallery it looks like you've done a huge amount of travelling.

Did you use a grad ND filter?

i really like the detail on this a lot. did you burn the sky by chance? j/w because of the light frame around the mountains.

Stunning...absolutely breathtaking. I'm experimenting with taking in RAW - what would you say the advantages/disadvantages are?
Wicked shot mate
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
advantages: better control over color space for printing/web display, enormous control over exposure and saturation, contrast as well as multitude of other things, all post exposure, allowing for "rescue" of many photographs, plus betterment of many that are good to begin with.
drawback: more post processing time in front of the computer, larger size (ie less photos/card).
i say its worth it

This is absolutely amazing. The lighting is breathtaking. How did you balance exposure?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
very very carefully
shot in RAW, underexposed to save the sky and thus i had the flexibility upon getting home.
