Well i'm back from NZ... I feel that my photos are very average, I was pretty rushed to go through everything, so photography became a third priorty

Anyway, all the photos are located HERE

Let me know what you think, I do realise there's a few things wrong with most photos, but I am still happy with a few of them, and thought some of you like might to see.

Regards,
Tommo.

Nothing wrong with them mate! Love the colours, and the scenery is of course spectacular Am so looking forward to getting home at Christmas this year!

Thanks for posting - especially liked the one of the sheep

Hi Tommo, Love the pics... We were there only about a month ago and makes me wish I was back.

Your Haast Pass picture looks amazingly like Arthurs Pass.

Love those shots mate... especially the composition and colours of the last one... Looks pretty similar to when I was there a few years ago...

Thanks guys

AlistairF; oops... you are right, wrong name... I just put them up after a long day and a few beers, cheers

I'm hoping there's a few more pics still to come Tommo! That's not many for the area you covered!
I'm sure MHD will be pleased to see you had gloomy conditions for Milford - I reckon those conditions just add to the incredible feeling you get there. Looks exactly like it did the day we went! hehe

Hi Thommo,

welcome back to CBR.

I like your photos and envy you for having spent a great time ?

Cheers

p.s. how is the eyepiece helping you ?

Great Thommo, really crisp & well composed.

Can I ask, the link you have supplied ? what is it ? I mean what is your Website ?

I like how big the images are and on a nice clean uncluttered background.

Thanks,

Mic.

I don't have a website.. just decided to host the photos there, as I have all my cousins/relatives/friends asking for photos of my trip - so I figured a central link was easier I just made a easy HTML page.

I had a fantastic time... brilliant over there, very relaxing, and the scenery is breathtaking.. I feel it's very hard to capture shots to show how amazing it is... very hard without taking panaromac shots everywhere I went

I've got plenty more photos, just haven't had time to sort through them yet My driving trip of the South Island included:

Day 1: Christchurch to Lake Tekapo.
Day 2: Lake Tekapo to Queenstown.
Day 3: Queenstown to Te Anau.
Day 4: Te Anau to Doubtful Sound & back.
Day 5: Te Anau to Milford Sound, and then to Wanaka.
Day 6: Wanaka to Greymouth via Glaciers.
Day 7: Greymouth to Christchurch via Arthurs pass.
Day 8. Chrischurch.

Cheers,
Tommo.

Fantastic pics, Tommo! NZ is a place I have always wanted to go...now I want to go even more! These are great, absolutely breathtaking!

Those are some lovely shots, Tommo. Very nicely done! The Milford Sound Waterfall shot is quite appealing.

Great images there Tommo - u should be proud of your efforts. NZ is somewhere I am wanting to go, I have a friend getting married there in the future (not sure when) and if I can find a cheap enough flight I will shoot her wedding AND go sightseeing and have a holiday at the same time! Loved your shots!


Geoff.

Geoff, don't forget to bill her

Nice cross section of NZ scenery. Great ad campaign for Australia's seventh state.

All wonderful mate, really like the sheep one, it's a little different, been there many times when we lived in Bathurst, NSW. Max

Hehehe Glen - that's the idea, she's already agreed to me shooting the wedding but didn't want to pay for my flight...tight *ss

great photos mate, NZ is such an awesome country. brings back fond memories of a trip in 2002 I did there.

I especially like your lake tekapo photo.

Arthurs pass ... holy crap i now regret not doing that drive!

We had milford sound on a blue sky perfect day ... flew in through the sound, landed, then took the boat, then flew back to queenstown up over peaks and across frozen lakes etc, then dropping deep down into valleys before accelerating back up over snowy peaks. Christ it was good.

Damn! what have you done, I need to delete my travel agents phone number and hide the visa card.

Tremendous depth to your pictures. Good work.

Fantastic pictures. I'm off to NZ in August for a couple of weeks, and doing some heli boarding as well.

You have managed to truely capture the amazing dept of secenery from New Zealand. It is an amazing place. Anybody thinking about going....GO The place will blow your mind. If you love snow...all the better, kicks the arse out of Aussie ski fields.

Hey Tommo. Could you give me a quick run down on the sort of gear you are using for those shots. I'd like to get into a bit of that style myself. Am buying my d70 with Tax return in july.

Once again, great work

Just a standard D70 and a Kit Lens (18-70) mate, nothing else. Didn't require a tripod while I was over there. I have a second telephoto lens, but there's no point. I must admit, I'd LOVE to have a really wide angle lens and go landscape shooting, it would yield some great results.

Yeah, be great to have a Nikon 12-24mm....but hey, it's not exactly cheap

What telephoto lens to you have
