0An absolutely stunning day here in Queenstown New Zealand!
The day began with a trip out to the gorgeous Wanaka via the short cut up and over the Alpine Ranges. There were many stunning vantage points looking back over the valley, perfect for my first panorama.

0Unfortunately it rained for most of the day so I was only able to grab the odd shot here and there such as water droplets on tropical flowers. Some more ND filter shots with the rough surf and shoreline looked pretty cool. My foot/ankle came good overnight so was happy to be mobile again.
