QUEENSTOWN

Taking photos for fun - blizzards, snow storms, beautiful rays of light...all in one day

After spending a few days judging at the New Zealand Institute of Professional Photography Awards and conference  in Queenstown a few of my colleagues and I went on explorations around the south Island of NZ.  You might set out with brilliant weather and then as you drive higher into the hills wearing totally inapproriate clothes (runnng shoes weren't realy cutting it - nothing like wet socks for comfort and frozen toes) you realise you didn't quite prepare as well as we should have.
