Starting off this thread with my memories from our epic road trip adventure in New Zealand! Joined by my friends Nitewalk and Wolfics, we took off for a two-week-long getaway in Middle Earth in search of dramatic light and landscapes. Though the weather wasn't the most optimal at times, and we had to wake up at ungodly hours for sunrise, it was still a blast!

We made our way back to this location after a night of star trail photography. Sunrise was around 5.30am, and we had very little sleep. Glad we managed to wake up for the shot, as in the morning there aren't as much tourists and photographers as compared to sunset and nighttime. Initially was kinda disappointed by the featureless sky, but I think it has grown on me as I processed the photo. Really loving the directional morning golden light here.
