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…
Its a great time for driving in the country, the Canola is just beautiful and the countryside so green. I think this must be one of the best seasons in a very long time.

Thanks Mark, Yes it was such a contrast with a black sky and the yellow canola.
Crackas Peta…love the grey sky against the Canola…works a treat eh!
Thanks Andrea, Great to meet you also. Yes it was a good afternoon and camera is OK…so far….
Hey Peta,
Great to meet you the other night, I had a good time how bout yourself? How did your camera go? Is it ok or are you off to the insurance office?
Your work is just stunning, I just love the shots that you’ve done of the canola, it’s gorgeous.
Thanks Shirley, yes it was a very black sky, just made it back to the car in time before the downpour.
A fabulous set, some of the best canola images I have seen. Works really well with the stormy sky 
Thanks Katrina, yes I like the old farmhouse as well, it’s weathered walls hold many stories from the early days.
Fabulous shots Peta, I love the atmosphere in the first shot, but the second shot is my fave. For me it really captures the essence of the country. Really nice work.
Thanks Stuart, yes it is quite mesmerising.
Nice work, Peta. Particularly like the first one and the last one – the last one has that “somebody sprayed the field yellow” impact you only get with canola.
Thanks Ian, just managed to get a couple of shots before the downpour started…
I love the top one with the dark storm clouds – it is probably the best Canola image I have seen recently!
Thanks Merv, doesnt look like much rain is due this week, though it poured as I was travelling to Albany on the Friday, I think I drove through three fronts with lots of rain and hail…
Yes it is excellent everywhere at the moment . One more rain is needed to really make it to full potential though. You have been about Peta and captured some good ones here.

Thanks Mark, it was one of those quick stop the car shots as the sun came out.
Sweet shots again there Peta…I particularly like the vineyard shot!
Here are a few photos from a trip to Karijini. Karijini was so green after a really good wet season, the waterfalls were stunning in the afternoon light.

They all look great Peta but the top one really does it for me, The composition is fantastic. Love it.
Hi sandy, mark
First chance to get some Internet, released I have put the wrong scraped it.. Oops
I will post the correct one when I get back….
The Kimberley is indeed beautiful after the rain…..so green…
Beautiful stuff but agree with Mr Stothard on the Hancock Gorge shot. Have to say the last shot is my favourite!! Classic!
Lookin good. Have a great trip.
The best yet from the recent spate of shots from KJ Peta! The Hankcock one is a bit over sharpened I reckon and not sure about the vignette on the top one, but apart from that…all good!
Have a great trip – I’m envious!!
Hi Stuart, thanks for that. I have so many to work on but just haven’t had the time.
In Broome and ready to leave tomorrow. We had to plan a new itinerary as the Gibb is closed at the moment, but all is good with a very exciting trip ahead.
Hi Peta – great shots. Especially like the first one (“afterglow”) – the colours look fantastic. Cheers, Stuart

Thanks for that and the comments and point taken….
Great photos though I must say. Great composition and angles
Color is spelt colour in Australia. We speak and write the Queens English not the USA misspellings.
Cracker shots Peta…I love em all!
I think the fav is the one with the person in the gorge and the colours in all the images have great colours!

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
