The third instalment of pics from my recent 21 day NZ holiday with Sheepie. This time the images are from Rotorua and Taupo.
And a ring in - an infrared thermal conversion of a mudpool shot (original

Very nice Peter, I assume the water was naturally that colourful, is it the minerals etc that are in it that give it the aqua colouring ? Love the bubbling mud, the thermal shot reminds me a bit of Mic's work.. kind of reminds me of terminator 2 as well..

Terrific images, as usual, Peter.
I especially like #2 and #4. The inversion is a real eye-catcher.
I am mildly surprised at the colour of the mud in #3, which looks a little too chocolaty-brown to me. But you have captured the action perfectly.
I had a brief browse through your NZ photos at smugmug and it is a great place to visit.
Congratulations.

Sensational Peter!
The colours look spot on with just enough saturation for my taste.
I really must go to NZ..

Thank you all for your comments.
Craig - the water is indeed that colour as are some of the lakes (which you'll see more of when I post my south island pics). It's caused by the minerals in the water.
Trevor - thanks for pointing out my Sony colour processing in the mud shot. I've replaced it with a more colour accurate version.

Great images Peter. The waikato river looks good enough to throw a kayak into. Buggered if i'd be in the kayak though

Peter,
I like all of those. Number 2 I like best, it has a very 3-dimensional and natural look to it. Makes me feel like I'm there, looking at the falls.
Imagine what you could have achieved with a FF camera...
Cheers
Steffen.

The last 2 are great! They would make beautiful large fine prints and I can see them hanging up in an executive boardroom.

Really nice series Peter. I like #1, #2, #3 and #4 (if I have to pick)
All cool shots - except for the last one - which looks hot.
Cheers, Mick
