The extraordinary location of Plateau Hut which sits opposite Mt Cook in New Zealand.
I visited this location back in early September with fellow photographers Tim Poulton, Jay Daley, Tim Donnely and Damien Siedel.
Also check out this awesome new location guide app from Tim Poulton and the OOAK crew. Android version coming out early 2015.
Day hike through the Hooker Valley. I was lucky that the sun was already lower when I arrived at my destination. The sight of the mighty mountain is breathtaking.
Aoraki / Mount Cook is the highest mountain in New Zealand, with 3,724 m (12,218 ft).
In 1772 Captain Cook set off in the Resolution, accompanied by the Adventure, for what was to be a three-year voyage. In January 1773 the expedition crossed the Antarctic circle, probably the first ever to do so. Soon after, the Adventure anchored in Adventure Bay, Bruny Island/lunawanna-allonah.
Many thanks for your visits, kind comments and faves, very much appreciated.
Aoraki / Mt Cook reflected in the milk pond flat Lake Pukaki on a very fine late afternoon. I have rarely seen the lake this mirror like.
This is a stitched pano of 6 hand-held portrait images.
Aoraki / Mount Cook is the highest mountain in New Zealand. It's height, as of 2014, is listed as 3,724 metres. It is situated in the Southern Alps, the mountain range that runs the length of the South Island.
Lake Pukaki is the largest lake in the area, and it proudly shows off New Zealand’s tallest peak, Aoraki/ Mount Cook, from the many lookout points around its shores. The water colour of the lake is a bright turquoise due to glacial flour, made from extremely fine rock particles that have come from the surrounding glaciers. The lake is fed at its northern end by the braided Tasman River, which has its source in the Hooker and Tasman Glacier. When the sun hits the surface of the lake, it reflects off the particles transforming it to a brilliant blue. The combination of the magnificent lake, surrounding peaks and wide open skies are a dream for photographers and pose the difficult challenge of capturing the grandeur of the ever-changing landscape.

Taken from SH 8 on the golden hour at about a 60 km distance away (as the crow flies) on the shore of Lake Pukaki. Due to the use of the 105 mm prime this is a heavy crop in pp. My initial plan was to shoot a wider view but decided during pp it looked a lot better cropped as the foreground was just too much water.
