Just between Jack's Point and Kelvin Heights near Queenstown there's this lone bench that looks out over to Cecil Peak.
I took a bunch of HDR frames, shots to make in to a panorama and some long exposures with a Big Stopper 10stop ND filter but it was this single exposure that seemed to turn out the nicest!
I plan on taking some astro and Aurora shots from this location when I can as it's out of the way from Queenstown light pollution and facing south west.
