High Country Horses

Canon 7D, 10-22mm Lens

This image was taken up in high country on the Molesworth Station, New Zealand's largest working faarm.  The horses are used for mustering, but when not in use are free to roam where they like.  We happened to come across them and they were very curious.  To get this photo, I'm on the road, then there's a bit of a bank and they are on top of that, hence the perspective of me looking up.  In front of them are the Blue Borage flowers that are everywhere, in fact the fields just looked like a sea of blue/purple in some place.  The bees make great honey from it.

Molesworth Landscape

Canon 7D, 10-22mm Lens

Taken in summer on the Molesworth station.  Huge vistas of farmland seemingly uninhabited.  High country and stunningly beautiful.

Coldwater Creek

Canon 7D, 18-55mm Lens, ND 10 Filter

Took this in the Midday sun but used an ND10 Filter to slow it down.  I also took a lot of the glare away  Quite pleased with the result as it was the first time I used the filter.  The creek was freezing cold as it was in the Rainbow Valley next to the Molesworth Station in High Country.  Snow fed.
