What a great place Queenstown is, I was lucky enough to get 6 days in Queenstown last month. I couldn’t get over the fact that it didn’t get dark until around 9:30 so it was great to be able to go out and walk around and eat late. The weather closed in for a few…

These are great, luv these colours n textures, your best yet
Great work, Peta – all well deserved. The portrait of the kids at Looma is fantastic.
Spent a week camping along the Pallinup River. Great canoeing as the river is very full from the recent rains. With grey skies and very strong easterly ‘s it was tough paddling down but surfing on the way back, it was not brilliant for photography but sometimes its nice to just sit back and enjoy….

Wow Peta…loving these Pelican images 
especially given the conditions in which they were shot! Congrats on the awards too.
Thanks Stuart.
Thanks for that Pete. Yes I agree Nikon do have fantastic glass. I think sometimes my old 80-200 is sharper than my 70-200VRII.
Great stuff Peta, the detail is pretty good for a zoom with a 2x but I guess thats why I love Nikon glass. (-:
Thanks Charlene, no I didn’t use my big lens as I was in a canoe in very strong winds, in fact I used my old trusty D2X and 80-200mm and a 2x convertor. I set myself off to drift into the take off path of the Pelicans and because the wind was so strong they cruised past really slowly. It was a challenge because my canoe had a mind of its own and thought I was going to capsize a couple of times.
Wow Peta, my eyes are falling out at the detail on those pelican shots. Were you using some big guns (i mean, a 600mm or similar) to get them?
That middle pelican shot is a pearler.
Cheers Mark, it was difficult taking photos from a canoe in 20 knots winds once you stop paddling the canoe always wants to swing side ways.
Crackin black and white Peta and also crackin Pelican shots…you nailed em again girl!

Hiya Love these, the landscape looks so different from up there. colours and contrast are amazing
Thanks Stuart, Love the description someone forgot to put the thread…it does look like that….
Its white because its salt, the rest of the area was very red dirt so the white stood out and I am not sure what the tracks are but I liked the look of it. It is out the back of Kambalda/Kalgoorlie. They have a lot of lakes out there.
Hi Peta – these are sensational. #1 and #5 look like oil paintings. #6 looks like someone forgot to put thread in the sewing machine. (BTW where is it and how come its so whit – is it frost?)
Here is a selection of landscapes that are from a few aerial shoots that I have been on in the last few months. Some are from the Goldfields area and some are not far from Kwinana. I love the rich textures and colours that are either man made or by nature.

Cheers for that Charlene
These are absolutely great Peta. Love ‘em all.
Thanks Ian
Peta – These are stunning. I’m not even sure I can work out which one I like best.
Ian
Thanks Merv, hopefully one day I can hold an exhibition with all aerial pics.
Thanks Stuart
Gee theres some good ones in these Peta. Great stuff.
These are great, Peta. They look more like oil paintings than photographs.

Stuart - I’m sure you wouldn’t have had any issues if you were using a Canon…
Peta - Thanks Stuart, Queenstown is such a pretty place with lots of photographic opportunities. Camera played up on the trip so didn’t get as much as I would have liked but I am sure I will head back there in the near future.
Stuart Westmore - Great shots, Peta. My fav is the Evening Light pic, but they’re all excellent. Queenstown is a great spot.
Peta - Thanks Ian. I have only been to NZ in winter so it was nice to see it in spring.
Peta - Thanks Sandy.
I can’t imagine what only two hours of sunlight must be like. Look forward to more posts.
Ian Wiese - The light in these shots is amazing!
Sandy@Shots - The ‘walk in a forest’ shot does it for me, and as always, love the aerial stuff. It’s funny you saying it doesn’t get dark until 9.30pm…sounds great! We’re getting about 2 hours of daylight here in Norway and we never actually see the sun as it doesn’t even peak over the horizon….it has ‘long service leave’ until January! Light-ish at 10.30am….dark again at 12.30pm. Soak up some sunshime for me
