Location
This is Lake Tekapo, New Zealand. We were driving around the Mackenzie High Country of New Zealand, heading towards Lake Tekapo when I shot this picture. Took it while the car was in motion.Time
It was 12.35 pmLighting
I love the turquoise coloured lake surrounded by the majestic backdrop of the southern Alps. The Church of the Good Shepherd lies on the shores of the lake. Its beautiful by day and night. Lake Tekapo is also part of UNESCO Dark Sky Reserve so alot of tourists come here for stargazing.Equipment
This was shot on my Nikon D5600 with 18-55mm lens.Inspiration
New Zealand landscapes are inspiring and so mesmerizing that you won't want to keep your camera inside. This was just one of the hundreds pictures I took that day.Editing
I think I dehazed the picture once. It didn't need much of processing, not this one.In my camera bag
I normally pack my DSLR, couple of lenses and a tripod (you need a tripod as it gets very windy in NZ)Feedback
The weather in NZ is unpredictable so do your research well. Lake Tekapo is best visited during NZ late Spring and Summer which is November to February.
