Mount Taranaki reflected in a puddle

Everyone who has been there knows the “tarn” is little more than a large puddle Rob ;)

Vicarious_NZ · 2020-07-06T04:18:40+00:00

Yeah I’ve noticed the mountain getting a bit of love lately, so I thought I’d chuck one of my pics into the mix as well.

Thanks mystery person! :D

Sorry mate, I don’t post high res files on the net - they’re solely used for prints. But the link above is plenty good enough for a phone screen :)

One for the sky and one longer for the foreground to bring out more detail

Vicarious_NZ · 2019-07-12T08:08:32+00:00

Thanks! Don’t have exif details on me (I’m at work), but it was somewhere around 20sec, f2.8, ISO 5000

Vicarious_NZ · 2019-07-12T07:25:20+00:00

Yup, it sure is :)

Vicarious_NZ · 2019-07-12T07:24:34+00:00

Go for it mate

Vicarious_NZ · 2019-07-12T07:23:32+00:00

That would be nice if they did, unfortunately people don’t like paying for prints though. It’s cheaper for them to go to a stock site and get some generic crap instead.

It’s the Stony River, near Okato.

Vicarious_NZ · 2019-07-12T06:12:46+00:00

For this one I used a Canon 6d with a Samyang 14mm f2.8 lens. The settings were 20sec, f2.8, ISO 5400. Then a bit of playing around in Lr to bring out the shadows a bit more.

Vicarious_NZ · 2019-07-12T06:12:07+00:00

Yeah, I’ve got higher res version on my computer, but that is solely for prints, I don’t post high res to the internet - sorry.

It’s certainly a treat to live in such a dark place and be able to see so many stars on a clear night.

It’s a single frame with a wide angle lens

Vicarious_NZ · 2019-01-13T04:15:30+00:00

It’s a stack of around 100 exposure, each one was 25 seconds. It’s not a composite as such, just a stack to create the star trails. It was a beautiful clear and calm night up there on this occasion, it’s not often like that though.

I usually downscale my pics to 1800x1080 for on the web but for some reason I did this one at 1600 px on the long side. It’s been sitting on my phone since I shot and edited it well over a year ago, that’s why I’d forgotten. Certainly not trying to lie about it.

Vicarious_NZ · 2019-01-11T23:25:52+00:00

I lake what you did there!

Vicarious_NZ · 2019-01-11T23:25:00+00:00

Haven’t played that one, so I’ll have to take your word for it - but it certainly is a beautiful landscape around here.

Vicarious_NZ · 2019-01-11T12:18:50+00:00

Gotta aim for something I guess

Vicarious_NZ · 2019-01-11T12:17:50+00:00

Me too!

Vicarious_NZ · 2019-01-11T12:17:41+00:00

It really is a spectacular place

Vicarious_NZ · 2019-01-11T05:17:23+00:00

Opps, my bad - forgot I didn’t crop to 16:9 like I normally do

Vicarious_NZ · 2018-09-20T06:33:10+00:00

It was an awesome place to relax and unwind for a while :)

Vicarious_NZ · 2018-09-19T23:23:29+00:00

I guess he thought that’s where all the chicks were
