The photo was taken at Lake Tekapo, South Island of New Zealand, while i joined Working Holiday Scheme there. It's such a great experience for me to explore the beautiful country. I am not a professional photographer but just an ordinary traveller who love to take photos as others do.Time
This is likely one of my favourite photo from New Zealand trip. This was taken on December 07, 2013 at around 2 pm. I can still remember it was a beautiful summer, peak season for lupins bloom, and yet a perfect weather to do photo-shooting. However, it's quite windy that day as you can see lupins swaying in the wind.Lighting
The weather was incredibly perfect to capture photo that day with adequate natural lighting. The colour of the landscape was so vivid due to the existence of perfect sunlight.Equipment
This was shot by my smartphone Samsung S2 as i did not bring my camera along. Yes, it's unbelievable that i could take this photo without using camera due to perfect sunlight that day. I captured this photo without using tripod, i tried to hold the phone camera tightly and firmly as it was quite windy that time.Inspiration
I love beautiful nature scenery very much and i enjoy in capturing landscape photos. I was inspired by the beautiful images taken by professional photographer while i flipped through landscape magazine pages. I wish to take more photographs with breathtaking landscape scenery in future and show to my family and friends how beautiful the world is.Editing
I did not do any post-processing for this image.In my camera bag
When i go to take photos while travelling, i will put one extra camera battery and few pieces of memory card in my bag.Feedback
Lake Tekapo is a famous spot to take landscape photo due to its stunning panoramic views. It is really a place that you can do photo-shooting all year round. You can capture photos of snow-caped mountains in winter, and you can also enjoy seeing the colourful range lupins around the lakeside in summer. The peak lupins season is usually from end of November until end of December. It's better to check with the weather condition before going as it could be sunny in the morning but might become cloudy and windy in the afternoon.
