Gary,
You're not wrong at all! I've got high definition footage that I filmed on my 5D Mark II (on a tripod strapped to the passenger seat with occy straps) driving through Homer Tunnel and most of the way through to Milford Sound. As mentioned in my other images, it was the worst rain they'd had in ten years, and the region showed it -- there were waterfalls every few metres falling on the slopes of those beautiful mountains. I have never seen anything so beautiful (well, apart from the Orion Nebula through Zane Hammond's 25" Dobzilla, and, perhaps Milla Jovovich
) -- it was something straight out of a fairy tale. I really must upload the footage to YouTube or Vimeo.
It was definitely less than ideal; it was bitterly cold, but, luckily the wind didn't start up until well into the night when I was back at the lodge. I was standing in ankle deep water as the tide was rising and I lost several shots as a result -- the tripod was resting on a couple of larger rocks, and, they must have sunk into the sand whilst I was exposing as the waves gently lapped along the shore.
Thank you so much for your kind words, Gary. I appreciate them.

However, you have chosen some of the least ideal conditions with regards
lighting, at a time when most other people would be back in the warmth and
dry of the hostel drinking beers, to capture this extraordinary image
that is completely different and refreshing when compared to the same
old pictures we see for sale on the postcard rack.
Absolutely beautiful. Well done!

Suzy,
Well, that's the plan. The next 12-18 months or so, hopefully. : )
Thank you.
