Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.
Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

G'day again,
Told ya I'd badger y'all  These are just a (still small) selection of single image shots (ie: no pano's) from the NZ trip... I've organised a smugmug account (seems to work well  ), the few from the initial post are in there too, but there's about 19 images in there so far so I'll just post the link for those that are interested...
These are all fairly quickly done, only spent a few minutes on each so I'd love to hear your comments and critique etc. so I can learn and improve...
Cheers.

Hi Andrew,
I like your gallery too, nice places to go and do photos.
And the photos of the glacier, I like a lot.
I've got a (silly) question:
are you expected to bring your own cold weather gear or do
they cater for people who don't ?
Cheers,
CD

G'day Christian,
Believe me that's actually a VERY good question...
The tour company provides all the wet weather gear, jackets, pants, boots even socks... We thought we had good hiking boots so we said we'd use our own boots... BAD MISTAKE!
I didn't take any other boots and my boots filled with cold water during one hike and took a couple of days to dry out, in hindsight USE THEIR BOOTS AND SOCKS, that way after the hike your stuff is nice and dry...
The smell of wet boots etc in the various lodges and in the car the next day was errr ummm, powerful...
Was surpisingly toasty warm in the gear, was wet with sweat afterwards, the guides just wore shorts and a t-shirt  Aka Andrew

quick question... which lens are you using for the wide (i.e. 12mm) shots? nice sharp and contrasty images...
cheers

Thanks Andrew,
I feel much more comfortable.
See, I probably would show up in shorts whenever I may get there and
the operators are prepared.
Hopefully I may have a chance to get there and experience ...
Cheers,

G'day,
All 12mm stuff was done with the Nikkor 12-24. I only used the 18-70 when I needed above 24mm but less than the 80mm of the 80-400 Aka Andrew

There are some beautiful images in your gallery. There is just 'something' about mountains with snow on top of them that looks so appealing. The glacier pool is like nothing i have ever seen before.

Great photos Andrew,
I'm really jealous now and to have Tom as your guide, great. NZ truely is a photographers paradise. Nothing wrong with Oz, but having those mountains just adds that little bit extra "je ne sais quoi!"
Enjoyed them all, got to go back to the south island now
thanks for sharing.
