Okay, Mark started a great thing over on the Australian Landscapes Thread.  We'd better start a New Zealand version (no pressure)!

 

Looking up the Matukituki towards Mt Aspiring in the later winter afternoon, from the hill above Diamond Lake (across from Treble Cone).

So I was going to suggest that those of you across the pond start a New Zealand Landscapes - Open Thread' but you beat me to it!

 

I'm expecting really outstanding landscapes from your spectacular country - no pressure ;-)

 

Excellent start. I'll have none to contribute but I can now travel NZ from my armchair. I ope to get there next year - I hope!

 A very nice start John. Hope the troops rally, and you get lots of posts.

Love the smooth brown texture against the jagged mountains. The clouds hanging above the valley help too.

cheers Dave S

Thank you for the kind comments.

 

I will look for film images, Stu; but I don't use colour film, so I doubt I can meet your needs.  I'm quietly posting in the hope that I can lure some of my compatriots (Eion Christie?) to post ...

 

Looking at this thread, I must apologise for a couple of issues I've identified.  First, I have processed the images on three different computers, and this has raised a problem.  My work iMac has a nice big screen, my Mac Pro at home has a calibrated Eizo screen, but it has a window right behind it, and my MacBook Air is only 11"  This has resulted in wildly varying images when posted, for which I apologise.

 

The second issue is I do have a set of Lee Se5en filters, but haven't been using them when walking about.  I realise all of the recent images would have benefited from a polariser and graduated ND filter - sorry about that.

 

I'll look back through my catalogue and will post more as the days go by.  I hope others with images from their travels here will also post.

 

Cheers

John
