Good morning we got into Te Anau last night and just had dinner and went to
bed because today we're gonna go on a cruise of the Fiordlands and milford
sound and it's gonna be really nice because it snowed last night and we're
waiting for the road to actually get opened from all the snow
we have arrived at milford sound and the drive here was amazing amazing i didn't
know what to expect before we came here but thoroughly thoroughly impressed and
surprised and now we're gonna go to take one of the boats and head out to the
Fiords. Super excited
so from Te Anay to milford sound is a two hour drive and there's about 30
stops in between so we've come all the way to the end to do the cruise and then
on the way back we're going to stop at a lot of these places and we're going to
come back tomorrow as well and in the day after
that's our boat
A little bit of rain and everyone's gone
that was truly incredible!
first stop the chasm where apparently there's some nice cascading waterfalls
although there's waterfalls everywhere here so no surprise 20 minute hike 20
minute return hike one kilometer no Drones no Drones anywhere
here I'm crying
I think we found our sunrise spot for tomorrow this is lake gunn
you have no idea how badly I want to fly my drone right now but laws are laws so
no flying in national parks
we are back in Te Anau now and we've come to the lake for a sunset. There's quite
a thick layer of clouds so I don't know if there will be a sunset but it's worth
the try
so we just had a quick chat with the other two photographers that were
here before us and apparently the sunset had already happened apparently because
the Sun goes behind these mountains it happens about 40 minutes before the
actual time that you see on the apps so we kind of miss it but it's blue hour
now and it's still very nice and we have this beautiful pier here
I think makes for a very nice image so we're gonna take some long exposure
pictures regardless
it's alright but I think we need to come back for the proper sunset if the
weather remains nice
human subject always helps now lets go to sleep we are about to have breakfast and
this beautiful rainbow just appeared
so as you can tell we didn't get up for sunrise the weather was full of overcast
clouds and rain and still raining a lot so we've come to Milford Sound anyway
one last time we're gonna go up the divide and to a few different places
that we didn't know yesterday but now I'm taking the time-lapse of the clouds
moving through the mountains while we wait out the rain a bit
we are now at Humboldt falls sorry about the audio and the shakiness
I'm not carrying a microphone or a gimbal for this 30 minute return walk
it's not too far but it's raining so I don't wanna I don't wanna we go
we've come back to that pier that we were at yesterday and today there's
probably gonna be a nice sunset so
finally a decent sunset whoo now we have dinner reservations
so we running away but what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna use the bottom part of the
image as a long exposure to have that clear nice water and smooth water and
then I'm gonna probably combine one of the static cloud images that I took for
the top
just had a lovely dinner and we're back at the pier to shoot the stars because
clear skies and there's a lot of stars
it's a little windy out there
