New Zealand
From our recent trip, the undoubted photographic highlight was our time around the volcanos (Taranaki and Tongariro). Conditions were far more favourable at Taranaki though moments before this it was not looking so good as she was covered entirely in cloud. As the cloud finally cleared, gaps in the mountain appeared and cloud appeared lit from below.
Presently, there seems to be a few threads and forum posts about how landscapes are overly manipulated to the same common end point and how much hate that seems to be generating. I loved this walk and in that moment, I was thrilled to see the mountain clear. I hope that’s forefront on your minds as you view this rather than any thoughts about how ‘generic’ it may appear with its exposure blend, hues and contrasts.
