New Zealand 2007

All of these pictures were shot while traveling with a group led by John and Kathy Baker ( http://www.travelimages.com) between November 13th and November 26th, 2007. Except for one shot the day before the trip from a kayak in the Abel Tasman National Park. We traveled south from Christchurch past Dunedin, then west to Te Anau and Milford Sound, then north to Mount Cook, stopping every 10 minutes to shoot something. These are the best of the 2500+ shots I took.

My Bag for the trip:
1D III, 10D (backup, not used), 16-35 f2.8L, 70-200 f2.8L, 50 f1.8, 100 f2.8 Macro, 2x teleconverter, 580 EX Flash, (one shot uses a borrowed 500 f4 - thanks Barun)

New Zealand

  • This is taken from the helicopter. I tried the 70-200 on the way up, and then the 16-35 on the way back down. Despite expecting the opposite, the 16-35 shots were the good ones.
  • Her friends had to convince her to jump. I think she is changing her mind here.
  • Almost everyone who jumped was calm and happy. Except me, because the line was too long and we had to leave before I could jump.

  • This shot sums up New Zealand for me. Absolutely intense green, with occasional livestock.
  • This is the Kea in its natural environment - parking lots. They love to eat the rubber off of cars. Hide your windshield wipers everyone....
  • This is Paradise Valley, up from Queenstown. It is the site of a number of Lord of the Rings scenes, including Isengard (off to the left).
  • I simply gave up taking this shot without anyone in it. So say hi to fellow photo travelers Roger, Barun, and Claude. The town of Tekapo starts 30 meters to the right of the chapel.
  • I was unable to get any satisfactory shots of albatross, despite several days effort. In fact, they didn't even fly until the last day. So I amused myself otherwise.
