Timing is Everything

Why ruin a good thing? Since last week’s picture was taken in New Zealand, I am continuing with the Kiwi theme.

The big idea for this post is timing; it is everything or nothing in photography. And sometimes you just get lucky! Just minutes after I took this picture a slight gust of wind came through and turned this watery mirror into a lake full of ripples. It’s a good thing I had my 5D ready to go and I knew exactly how I wanted to compose my shot. So the moral of this post is always be ready.

I wish I could remember exactly where this picture was taken, but I am not 100 percent sure. Although I do know we were headed North from Queenstown on highway 6. If I had to guess I’d say it was taken at Lake Hayes, northeast of Queenstown.
