ui,Ryan,
What do you mean first come gets to reserve shooting position? Was there a lot of photographer there? I mean, I thought there are quite urban and usually not so many people

such a famous landmark known to avid photographers and informative tourists, i won't be surprised.

Crown drive, from Queenstown towards Wanaka. I read about this, wanted to find it, but somehow did not see it. Too far ahead to trace back by then. This tree is a famous landmark.

And this was shot near the tree spot that emlee identified

Moeraki boulders, sunrise

All my thoughts and wishes to the Kiwis. Saw some of the painful photos of the wreckage in Christchurch, and me and my wife still remembered strolling some of those streets, historical buildings, visiting the shops .. This earthquake sure will not deter me from visiting again nxt time

2 nights at Tekapo is fantastic, you can get some really pretty star shots there. Also, the 2 days will serve as good buffer for bad cloudy weathers during the Earth and Sky star gazing trip atop Mt John.

Actually just plan to relax and idle away from the busy stressful time in Singapore and enjoy the moment with the lake, mountains and stars as well capturing good images, therefore 2 days.

Do you see any farms or sheep herds around that area? since spring time is where baby lambs appears

I went to the Glenstrae farm 4 wheel ride near Christchurch and saw them loading their little lambs up a big blue truck, along with the older sheeps in another compartment. I tried catching them in the farm but hard to catch them

Pebble forest. Little stacks of pebbles made by tourists visiting and passing by Haast. It takes great effort to built them since the blood sucking sandflies will limiting the height of the stack ..

Thanks campoes. I went in summer ( feb - mar )
Lots of tourists. The fun thing about driving is you get to stop by the side of the road any time and take a little break, a little bit of tea and embrace whats around you.

I like this shot the best, such a calming effect that needs a motivating caption to top it off.

Thx MRSAMO. That was also the time we realised we were really going to be VERY late for our next destination ( and dinner )
