The mighty lone willow tree of Lake Wanaka. One of my favorite places during our trip down under. This place is just a normal lake, a normal walkway with people jogging, and some walking their dogs in the morning. It is just this willow tree that attracts photographers and hobbyists everywhere to capture the sunrise with the majestic mountains behind. It is an ethereal scene that makes it one of the most photographed tree in the world.

One of three in a series of images that takes pride of place among by best landscapes from 2013. I shot this on a private workshop last year.
I’m not in the habit of self-promotion on 500px but next year I’m teaming up with Arild Heitmann, who I consider Norway’s premier landscape photographer. We will be leading a tour of the finest locations in Arctic Norway.

New on 500px : The Moeraki Boulders by TheWanderingSoul by TheWanderingSoul

The ‘Moeraki Boulders’ in the amazing light of the rising sun. I stayed there 3 days long during my my travel through the South Island of New Zealand in April this year. During the day that place isn’t so delightful as in the break of dawn – to many loud and lumbering other tourists. 😉

New on 500px : Celestial Drive by markg by markg

I drove out to the back country area above Hanmer Springs on the South Island of New Zealand to capture this 360 degree seamless pano of the night sky.

There’s quite a lot going on with this image – you have the Milky Way which can be seen arching over the landscape in the right of frame, and below that you can see a natural phenomena know as gravity waves. The glow in the centre of frame is from the lights of Christchurch 130km away, and to the left of that are the Magellanic Clouds, which are a duo of irregular dwarf galaxies visible only from the Southern Hemisphere. The faint triangular glow to the far left of frame is the Zodiacal Light, which is caused by sunlight scattered by space dust in the zodiacal cloud, and in this case, is seen just before morning twilight.

For the tech buffs out there, this image is a 218 megapixel image made up of a stitch of 28 individual images, which were shot on a Gigapan Epic Pro. The images were shot 4 rows vertically by 7 columns horizontally, each on a 24mm lens with an exposure of a 25 second shutter at f/2.8 with an ISO 6400. The whole pano took a total of 14 minutes to shoot with all the images.
