Our First Look at Mount Aspiring, Wanaka New Zealand

November 6, 2015 by jeffsetter

Wanaka Mount Aspiring-1

For a week we walked into the town of Wanaka taking the same route. Left out of our flat, right down the road to the lake, right onto the path and within 20 minutes we would be in the city.

Turn left at most points during that walk and you will see the regal Mount Aspiring in the distance. Some days it was inviting, others it was menacing.

I took well over 1000 photos of this mountain (and nearly lost my drone flying to it as well), but I won’t forget my love at first sight.

      Thanks! I have a very high Megapixel camera (which helps a lot). I usually take 3 exposures and combine them into one (light, dark, regular) and that brings out cool colors. Then I use lightroom to sharpen the photos and clean them up a bit. I wrote about this in a post here: http://s15149.p1095.sites.pressdns.com/photography-gear-what-jeffsetter-uses-to-take-amazing-travel-photos/
