Serenity On The Lake

Harrington Point - Dunedin - Otago - New Zealand

 

Canon 5D MKII - Canon EF L 17-40mm Lens

 

This was taken close to sunset as i drove around Portobello Bay in Dunedin New Zealnd. I was headed up to the Harrington Point Headland, and as i drove around the lake there was endless eyecatching landscapes. This opportunity i came across was just instinct. I had driven about 1 km further up the road and thought to myself .......... "That's a cracker of a shot" ........... so did a u-turn and headed back. This is actually i shot i have had in my head for some time. I didn't have a location in mind, just the concept of the shot. What made this even more magical on the day, was a very soft slight fog was rolling across the lake. It is barely noticable in the long exposure unfortunately, but the fog has contributed to the muted peach colours to the left where the sun was setting.

 

Dunedin is a beautiful part of the world. The people are super friendly, i found that everywhere we went while we were there. Our trip to dunedin was completely unintended due to my wifes health. As a result we missed nearly all our planned trip, and although Dunedin wasn't planned, it was certainly a welcome surprise.

 

This image is dedicated to Dunedin Hospital and all it's wonderful nurses and Doctors. They were incredibly caring and comforting. Thank you ...........
