Photography Tips
Picture 1: Use a wide angle lens and the lower light for more mood in your picture than during the day. If you place a person next to the tent it gives you even more an authentic impression of how stunning this campsite is.
Picture 2&3: Always worth it to bring a tele-zoom lens on your hikes. This area is perfect for some minimalistic mountain shots in golden light, especially when it's Mount Tasman, one of the biggest in New Zealand.
