Week Forty-Seven: Practicing Outdoors

For my birthday Him Outdoors bought me a tripod and a remote control thingie - who says men can't take hints. I have practiced taking landscape shots...

...nature shots...

... and this was actually part of an experiment with exposure times - the experiment failed (although I did learn from it, so not a complete failure) but I couldn't resist posting this sequence of photos.

These were taken at the top of the Crown Range at the weekend - we went over for a cycle ride and a cider in the Cardrona Pub - there was low cloud and mist on the Queenstown side; clear blue skie and bright hot sunshine on the Wanaka side - hence the inversion shots.
