My poor long suffering family, always dragged from one photography location to another, this time however it wasn't such a chore, as the long hot mid summer evening was absolute perfection.
Always planning to head to Hooker Glacier terminal lake in the Hooker Valley on the western side of Aoraki Mt Cook (New Zealand's tallest mountain), I struggled to find a new composition at the incredibly popular & well shot terminal lake. The icebergs that carved off the terminus face of the glacier & floated their way down the lake make for the most amazing images, however they're also a nightmare to get to stand still for 30 seconds or more as I was trying to achieve a long exposure of the sunset.
In the end after about an hour of scrambling around the rocks, setting up my tripod on the shore & in the lake, I decided to explore the start of the Hooker river at the foot of the lake & stumbled across this small puddle in a depression in a massive boulder (no larger than 25cmx25cm) & right there was the reflection of the summit of Aoraki Mt Cook! I couldn't believe it. It took a while to set up the tripod & filters to get the right shot (I've included a couple of behind the scenes photos), but in the end I'm so excited with the resulting image.
I'm tickled pink to be able to bring this image to you.
