Вставка
- Опубліковано 16 вер 2024
- I was fortunate to have had a DREAM morning of sunrise photography at this ABSOLUTELY STUNNING location!!
Ask landscape photographers what they'd wish for, and I think most will tell you that they'd love beautiful locations and perfect conditions, please! The reality is that it's not often that we get both.
Luck was on my side on this partiuclar morning, and I bagged myself some great photos, including some of my biggest (129MB) and best panoramas ever. You need to see this place with me!

Wow, wow, wow!!! So beautiful Valerie!! So peaceful and calm and gorgeous shots, love them all😀👍🏻!!
Thanks Barry, it was a lovely sunrise session at a beautiful location 😊🙏🙏
What a gorgeous place, the photos were awesome....
Yes, it was so tranquil and lovely. Many thanks for your comments 🙏🙏
Great video & pics lady! That accidental shot was gorgeous, keep them coming 🙌👍
Thanks heaps Missy! 🙏🙏 Given my run of bad luck, it was nice to have a good accident for once! Keep watching and I'll keep them coming 😆👍
Absolutely Spectacular landscape. Good effort thanks taking us on this place. Well stay safe and healthy. Looking forward to the next video.💜❤🧡💜🧡
Thanks Dear Mountains for your comments🙏🙏 I definitely enjoyed a great few days of photography there! Take care 👍
Stunning location and captured so well Valerie.
It would be hard to resist a Panorama image with beauty all around you.
Great vlog and images..well done!
Very true Colin - if I could have taken a 360 degree panorama, I probably would have 😅 Such a beautiful location to shoot. Thanks as always for dropping by and really appreciate your comments 🙏🙏 Hope you have a good weekend!
Another great vid. Beautiful photos.
Many thanks Thomas 🙏🙏 Hope you've been well 👍
Those photos and colours were stunning. Post was beautifully controlled. Im afraid I definitely need those giant walls Val 😁 I gotta have those panos. Exquisite 😍 Haha and your cameraman did a decent job 👌
Thanks a bunch Pia! 🙏🙏 Let's go find you some giant walls and hopefully we can pick a pano to suit 😅 Yes, my cameraman has come a long way and did a stellar job with his smooth, gimbal-like shots! Couldn't have made this video and many others without him 😁👍
Broken wide angle, no step up rings and still beautiful shots! Well done! Gorgeous area.
Hi Brett, by the time I made it to Lake Tekapo, I was down to my mid range and a kit lens! No luck getting step up rings - camera stores didn't know what they were! Ah, I just had to make do... Next trip, I'm bringing everything and the kitchen sink 😆 Thanks Brett, and hope you enjoy the rest of your week 🙏🙏
Hey Valerie. You are most certainly one of my favorite fuji creators. Nothing but love from Denmark, keep up the good work
Thanks Phillip for your kind words and support! 🙏🙏 Hope all is well in lovely Denmark 😊
What beautiful scenery and video. Thanks for sharing your journey with us. Great images 👏
Thanks Laurel for coming along with me on the adventures! 🙏🙏 It's great sharing them and great to know you're enjoying them 🙂 Take care.
Hello Valerie, such nice images ..., well done.
The panorama shoots are stunning. I agree with you, in such a beautiful location, you can shoot all day.
Looking forward to your next adventure ...
Good luck
Many thanks Libor, appreciate your comments 🙏🙏 It's so easy to lose track of time out there 😄 Glad you enjoyed the video!
Beautiful! loved every moment of this video, wonderful content and nice music to go with it. Lovely images and work Valerie. Makes me realise how much l miss New Zealand.
Hi Darren, thank you heaps 🙏🙏 It makes it much easier to shoot and film when you've got a location like that. I can only hope to create a portfolio of images of NZ like yours one day! Need to move there I think 😅🇳🇿
beautiful scenery - and well shot. TY for sharing.
Thanks Charles, it is a beautiful place for sure 🙏🙏
Just WOW!!!
Thanks a lot 🙏🙂📸
@@ValerieMisaPhotography Thank you!
Wow what a place that is Valerie. Lots of photographic opportunities that's for sure - even accidental ones! I did that a church there would be unnecessary too - why be inside when you can see the best creative work outside! I'd be sitting by a window and looking out. Thanks for sharing such a beautiful place.
Hi Denise, yes lots of photo opportunities there for sure! Definitely needs revisiting. It must be a church with one of the best views ever 😀 But agree, I'd much rather be outside too! Hope you have a good week ahead 👍
Hi Valerie I have just discovered your channel, great videos and such beautiful landscapes . Looking forward to seeing many more 😀 i also follow many of the photographers you mentioned that inspire you
Hi Sharon, I'm glad you've found my channel and thank you for your comments 🙏🙏 Definitely looking forward to sharing more, so please watch this space! All quality landscape photographers there 🙂👍
One can never have too many panoramas LOL. I just recently found your channel while scouting locations for a NZ trip family will be taking in a few months. I have really enjoyed your videos and look forward to watching more of them.
Hi Darrell, agree - shooting panoramas can get addictive! I'm glad you found my channel and I hope you'll get some good ideas for your family trip. NZ is just so beautiful! Thanks for your comments 🙏🙏
Very noice! I actually liked the mirror reflection in the water without the polariser. Great shot of the Church of the Good Sheperd, without scores of tourists 🙂 When I was there the 1st day the sleet was blowing sideways, which made for an interesting adventure in itself 😅 I think panos are the way to go in many instances, you can always crop and downsize, and the distant mountains don't shrink as with a wide angle lens. In future you may go through the hundreds of shots taken on this trip, and discover ones you've completely forgotten about, thereby reliving the adventure👌Haha, maybe a redeemed Mt Doom..
Hi Pieter, I think I liked not having the polariser too. It was great to have virtually the whole place to myself that morning. Too early for most tourists 😆 - a reason why I prefer sunrises to sunsets! I'm glad it brought back memories for you. 👍 I think you're so right - trawling back over photos initially skipped would bring back some of the excitement and fond memories for sure! Always great to read your comments - thank you 🙏🙏
🙂👌
Wow, what an incredible location, and such a beautiful morning! I neeeed to go there!! Lovely work, Valerie. :-)
Oh, you must go there if you get a chance Peter! Can't believe it's a whole different world across the Tasman. So untouched...Thanks for dropping by and hope all is swell 🙏🙏👍
@@ValerieMisaPhotography I really must. Life is short, after all!
Brilliant day out. Love the way the two of you captured these moments together. Wonderful explanations of what your trying to capture. So refreshing watching every new adventure.
Many thanks as always Why Who, for your comments and support 🙏🙏 I was very fortunate to have Cris as my cameraman for the videos during my trip! He was there with me all the time, so he might as well be useful eh? 😅 I'm glad to hear you're enjoying the adventures 😊
Welcome to god zone ! yes you are on track eg Mount Dobson and to left of it is Mount Dobson Ski Field, pity about the low cloud as we have been having some mega weather here between showers ! spring time ! they have had quite a bit of snow only a few weeks back that would have been spectacular, but the South is always a photographer's' paradise. Enjoy your trip around the South Island, are you coming to the North Island ? Cheers from the North, Whanganui
Thanks Royce for the warm welcome to the god zone 😅 Great to know I was on track with Mt Dobson. One thing I noticed is that the are dramatic clouds galore! But they clear so fast. Some formations were just spectacular. I would love to explore the North - would love to hear any special recommendations from a local like yourself 😊 Thanks for your comments 🙏👍
Awesome Valerie, what a beautiful location. Loved the first panorama, perfectly framed. Pity about your wide angle lens but you sure adapted well 🙏 and a touch of astro too, we couldn’t ask for anything more. Great job 🙏🙏🙏
Thanks heaps Izz, appreciate your comments and support! 🙏🙏 I think my ball head is cursed - it didn't like securing my camera in place and resulted in my camera falling out and 2 of my lenses being damaged, 2 days in a row! By the time I got to Lake Tekapo, I was down to my kit lens and my mid range. Oh the trials and tribulations 😆 But I adapted and got through...phew! Hope you enjoy the rest of your week 😊
Your epic adventure continues! What a spectacular location. The pano with the rocks in the foreground does have beautiful color and adds nice texture. I think I might have cropped them out a bit more to focus on the mountains in the background more, but I am watching on my iphone. I would love to have seen what you could have captured with a long lens, but the panos were epic. I also would love to see more drone shots of you doing your thing in that amazing location.
Hi Shaun, yes, it continues! I think I will crop them a bit more, but am mindful that they do create depth and perspective in the image, which I think helps to give more prominence to the mountains. You're right, I wish I'd tested the long lens a bit more - a great excuse to go back! Unfortunately no drones are allowed in that area...and most of NZ actually. A shame, but I understand their reasons completely. Always great to hear your thoughts 🙏🙏 Enjoy the rest of your week and looking forward to seeing your next vid!
Beautiful shots ❤🤩
Thanks Diego! 🙏🙏
Great video but i think you need to work on your post processing skills to really bring that beautiful Fuji camera colors. Or your Monitor needs to be Calibrated because colors of your few images gives me LSD effect just looked at it 🙌📸✨
Thanks for your comments 🙏 My post processing skills always need work - it's a continual learning process! I'm not sure I know what you mean by the LSD effect - are you referring to the purple and blue hues? If so, those were all natural and I didn't touch them in post. But maybe I could have warmed up the WB a tad to reduce the intensity. I guess a part of me wanted to stay true to the colours and feel of that morning. It's all trial and error and personal taste I suppose. Did you view the images on your desktop? I have a Dell Ultrasharp 4k PremierColor monitor with built in calibrator - so it's definitely calibrated.
@@ValerieMisaPhotography Dell build in calibrator is not the same as external Monitor calibrator. Give a try. You will see the difference. I had dell XPS latop and it had with extra booster contrast and more blueish Color tint. So be aware. Check on different monitors before posting, or get your Monitor Calibrated ✌️ but keep it up with good work 🙌
I also have a DataColor SpyderXPro calibrator and haven't found that to produce a different result from my Dell. Anyhow, appreciate your editing pointers and I guess it's what this photography community is about - learning and sharing thoughts about what works and doesn't work. Keep learning, sharing and evolving 👍
