I love New Zealand - was modelled on Scotland, apparently ;-)

A lovely view here...the flat land, the water, the mountain range and the sky - what more could you want?

I'm curious as to the choice of f-stop and shutter speed though...any reason for that combo?

thanks...KA

Certainly a spectacular view, Dawn.
Well captured and well exposed - does the small aperture help overcome the overexposure of sky, or was it just to help with greater depth of field?
It's a long time since I've been to Queenstown but I know the region and it is beautiful indeed.
Thaks for sharing

Hi Dawn!

Yes! Yes, I do know exactly what you are talking about saying: 'Take my breath away'.
Without reading your comment I can only underline your words. NZ has so many fantastic panoramic views with such a stunning light you never want to drop your cam back into the bag.

Although I think, there are amarter spots arounf QT you got a very nice panoramic view here! I like the contrast between the beach of QT and the Southern Alps to the back (btw: You should try a parachute here - it is that much joy!). Light and illumination is very clear and nice

Hi Dawn,
What a stunning view. The combination of a town, water and mountains makes me want to look at it over and over again. So many little details to see. The clarity is just amazing. No haze at all. Great colors and control on exposure.

GREAT POV, such a pity about the shadow on half the town, but hey you get that!

I love the depth you have got too, looks like you were having fun.

Yes, this view is quite amazing isn't it? Queenstown has certainly grown since I was last there - about 20 years now! I went to the Skyline place but didn't realise how high above the town it is. And steep!
Great shot Dawn, very good Dawn, especially with no tripod!

Hi Dawn,
I like this POV and the beauty of this landscape. The water in diagonal is an excellent leadin to have us gofrom the town and then discover these majestuous mountains in the background. very well done.
