I never got to the Mount Cook region of New Zealand. Thank you for showing it to me in such a magnificent way 🙂
Thanks for the big compliment. You are more than welcome. Mount Cook area and the southern alps are one of my favorite areas of the South Island.
Great landscapes. Beautiful layers. I like them all but the first one is my favorite. It makes me want to be at that place.
Me too, Angela. The sky, the light, the sounds, the smell… everything is still there and also so far away. Thanks for stopping by. Reinhold
Nice landscapes, the blues seems sculpted in ice. The last photograph has the dignity of a portrait of a great man, and I like how the plants seems fingers trying to caress the sky. Thanks Reinhold, marvelous landscapes.
Mount Cook is special. It was the first time the mountain was not covered with clouds. We stayed there for the night in a little wooden house and next morning the great man decided to transform into the invisible man. Thanks Francis.
Reading the comments I see you used an IXUS compact camera. Amazing, I thought they were cropped from a bigger sensor camera. That proves that composition triumphs machine 🙂
That is so true, Francis. All the NZ photos are shot either with a compact camera or a Canon EOS 300D with kit zoom. Some of my photos I like most are captured with a Nikon D200. That’s why I would like to downgrade from D800 with heavy lenses to Fuji X-T1 with kit zoom. But it’s difficult to sell the Nikon stuff. So I have to be patient. Complaints on a very high level. LOL. Nice weekend, too. Reinhold
Although in another occasion I would said “those are first world problems :D” actually here we’ve the same problems. Usually students at university are the best option to sell cameras. I barely can take my aps-c zoom camera and a plastic film camera so I understand your issue with the big Nikon resting in home.
the colour of the water in the first shot is just glorious, great set of shots.
Thanks my rocking lady. My wife Alexandra had some tears in her eyes when she saw these glacier lakes the first time. It’s like being in a fantasy world. It is like dreaming and never want to wake up. Greetings. Reinhold
3 wonderful pictures. Difficult to pick up my favorite, maybe the first one ?
Thank you for the compliment. Or maybe the middle one. It’s my fav. But when I look at the comments it seems to be #1 or 3. But maybe we do not always have to come to a decision. All the best. Reinhold
We all have different taste, so I think it’s great to include several pictures, you are sure to meet your reader’s expectations 😀
Beautiful images! I especially like the composition of the last one.
Thank you. My favorite is the one in the middle. And they all were shot with an IXUS pocket camera. Light traveling with a backpack. 🙂
Really, I wouldn’t have guessed that you had taken these images with a pocket camera, they look so good! Have to reconsider buying one : )
