Routeburn's First Fall

This is a re-submission of one of my images that was posted in the terrrestrial imaging forum here.

I went walking along the Routeburn Track and was lucky enough to have witnessed the first snow fall of the season. The scene around me looked like something out of Narnia.

Unfortunately, I did not have the correct hiking gear for the weather and so I turned around and started walking back to the beginning of the track. On my way down, I encountered some of the most beautifully-filtered light I have ever seen.

I made this photograph just before the light show finished in a gorgeous little section which had a bit of a clearing that I thought would help give me depth to the scene.

Slightly higher resolution found here.

Canon EOS 5D Mark II, Canon EF 17-40mm f/4L USM
5s f/22.0 at 37.0mm iso100
