Description This is the rainforest across Lake Te Anau, near the glowworm caves (I was on my way in for a tour of the caves). It's amazing how green everything is in the middle of winter.

I took this without a tripod, so it's not perfect. But if I had taken it with a tripod, it still wouldn't be perfect, and then I wouldn't have an excuse.

EDIT: Cropped slightly.

Yes, I regret not having a lot more time there. No photograph could ever do the scenery justice. Te Anau was such a gorgeous place, and I would really like to see Doubtful Sound one day.

Perhaps it's time to get some more shots then. Yes, I loved every second in NZ. It's impossible to find a bad view.

Oh man, I've been dying to get to the Pacific Northwest! Not to get moss on my car... Mostly to hug trees.

Thank you.

This is a beautiful panorama Have just recently been to NZ, loved it there, none of my photos turned out though...

Thanks. I wish I'd had a better handle on my SLR when I went, but in truth it was that trip that really made me buckle down and start figuring things out. I definitely learned on the fly and missed a lot of shots. It just means I'll have to go back!

I bet your photos are better than you think. Wait a while and look over them again. I always end up pulling out shots that I dismissed the first time around.

Hehe, well I might have another look thru my photos and see if anything might look better second time round... But I still think that your photos have turned really good, especially if you were still figuring out your camera. But that is the best way to learn!!! I'm sure your next set will be amazing Good luck.

I had 12 images with a lot of overlap as a backup, and I think I ended up using 7 or 8.
