We took a rented car and even drove to Milford Sound. Although the road is windy, u can take ur time to stop at all the various senic lookout points along the journey.
Thanks for viewing.
Hmm, care to share which photos are you referring too? my pp skill is limited. hence pics might not appear to be at their bests at times.
Must be a very relaxing trip,#3,#41 & #19 are good.
TFS.
Thx stan, more to learn about star trails from u!
Thank Sir for viewing. =p
Wah, excellent photos, just reminds me of my driving trip there 2 years ago.
It's true that tours are kind of hectic and photo opportunities are pretty limited. Best is to self-drive and stop along those scenic lookouts and take the shots.
The Lake Matheson one would be better if there were no clouds covering Mt Cook and focus more on the lake to catch the reflection.
If you are going to NZ again, can try North Island also. The scenery there is also superb, especially the route from Auckland to Wellington.

some really beautiful shots here with very high standards.
the first star trail shot appeals to me a lot; #13, #26, #30, #41 are simply excellent. i also liked #28 a lot, too bad there wasn't more humour present in the scene :bsmilie:
noticed that you don't really prefer dramatic "something in the foreground" shots, i.e. the type i prefer.. thought it would add more variety. i presume gnd was used extensively here?

Hi, thanks for viewing, and yep the sb-400 saved me on some occasions there!
U are right, was a bit dissappointed not to see mt cook's peak. well, there is always a next time!
Depends on how you wana do the trip, budget or not. Its about $3k+ for 12days including air tix, car rentals, food, lodgings, activities etc. Do save up for a trip. its money well spent!
Lol, u have very nice one of ur own too. quick quick develope them!
Thx for viewing.
Hi boroangel, u must have visited NZ during the full autumn bloom rite? must be much more beautiful. Hope to view your photos soon!

More humor? hmm perhaps some grizzly bear or something? :bsmilie:
thanks for your suggestion, perhaps i just didn't look hard enough for foreground subjects. will take note on my future travels. U are right, GND and CPL used some shots here. thx for viewing.
Here are some panos which I tried to stitch using some manufacturers software. Not quite nicely stitched due to software controls limitation. However, just wanted to share some of the views along the way in its whole entirety, hence do not pay much attention to the haphazard composition.
#48
Somewhere halfway up at the Fox glaciers. You can see one of the guide sitting near the ledge of the rocks!
#49
Lake Tekapo....i guess i stitched too many photos already. Looks curved and exposure is patchy! haha. my bad...
#50
A wider view of the observatory at Mt John.
#51
Moeraki Beach. Too excited at those circle rocks, and forgot to include them in the pano. duh!

A lookout point from Lanarch Castle looking out to the Otago Penisula
#53
One of the lakes on the way down from Milford Sound. There is this couple, just sitting by the shoreline, reading a book and building rock castles. Serenity.
#54
Another mirror reflection on the journey to Milford SOund. Should have taken more care and composed mountain and its reflection in the center.
#55
Another view of Milford Sound. This place is realli very beautiful

HI thanks for viewing. To hold a camera steady for 15mins, u will have to use a tripod. My hands are not that steady. hahaha.
