Sunrise over the Church of the Good Shepherd on the shore of Lake Tekapo in New Zealand. Now, this is an iconic scene which I did want to photograph for a long time. I was lucky to have some favourable conditions when we visited last year.

While everyone was busy taking photos of the iconic Wanaka tree in New Zealand, I found myself its doppelgänger just a bit further along the shore. Reputation of the original tree is well deserved, however, there is nothing wrong with this one either, and I enjoyed a bit of peace when taking in the moody atmosphere on the day.

Rainy days can often provide great mood for photography, provided that visibility is a bit more than zero and wind is not trying to blow one off the surface of the planet. We went to the Mirror Lakes on the way to Milford Sound hoping for the beautiful reflections but ended up with something entirely different. I loved the mood though.

Exploring the Oparara Basin Arches in New Zealand really felt like walking into the realm of the Lord of the Rings. Lush rainforest, whisky coloured rivers, and massive geological formations made for an unforgettable experience. This one is the aptly named Moria Gate Arch.

Stormy clouds gather over Mitre Peak and Milford Sound in New Zealand. I decided to do a long exposure to make the most of the swirling clouds.
