View to the Alps

Haast NP, New Zealand

As I stated on my M&N post, there was no shortage of spectacular light shows while in New Zealand. I also enjoyed the ability to photograph mountain ranges from the coast as you see here where morning storms hovered above the Southern Alps.

Canon 5DMkII, 16-35mm 2.8L, ISO 100, f18, 0.6 seconds, GND filters.

I wish the wide-angle effect didn't make the mountains such a tiny part of the photo. It's a problem I always seem to run into in my own coastal photography from around home. The sky is just crazy, and I like the water on the right. I wish the left side had some of those same white water textures.

Hello Kah Kit,

I followed attentively your work in New Zealand, I like so much the dissimilar colors in the sky trough each photographs : )

With this one, wow what a great 'red' cloud floating above here with a magic blue transition on the right, that's just fantastic. Also these clouds give a mysterious atmosphere to the coast wild mountains in background and the light on each rocks is pretty...Beautiful story trough each one!
Best regards

Is the water boiling? Amazing tones and composition I really like where you placed the camera and how the light travels across the frame.
excellent!

Great light, sea, mountains...Well, you can't ask for more. A terrific scene, Kah Kit! Just one small nit, there some fringing on the left bg rock.

Kah Kit,

Wow, what an amazing and glorious light show. There is so much to take in here from the wonderfully light rocks in the foreground surf, to the beautiful light show going on in the background. This must have been a special time to have witnessed these conditions.
