I'm new here - first pic :)

Hi Guys,

Well, I'm new to these forums tonight ... and I'm quite impressed from what I've seen so far. I thought I'd start off by posting one of my favorites - a shot I took last year on New Zealand's South Island, at Lake Tekapo. An absolutely amazing place, certainly one of the most beautiful places I've had the pleasure of travelling around.

I'm heading back there in about 4 months, and I can't wait. I was over there for 16 days last May/June, but it was nowhere near enough time.

All C&C welcome of course.

Cheers,
Mat.

20D and Canon 10-22, uncropped. Taken late afternoon in May.

Fantastic shot.. was nice and grey when I was there!
Making me even more jealous of that 10-22mm

Very nice shot. It really shows what that ultra wide lens can do. Welcome to the forums!

Very nice work! What were the camera settings?

Great shot. I looks 3D. The sky and clouds really pull the eye to the central interest point of this shot. Terrific.
