New Zealand 1

[bloobuoy75]

Here's a selection of some of the shots I took in New Zealand. I did really struggle trying to distinguish between to snow capped mountains, clouds and sky. I took advice and kept shooting, but I'm ashamed to admit that I did have to switch to the auto settings. I know that makes me an amateur, which is what I am!!!

I could also do with some advice on processing (?). I'm currently using Microsoft Picture Manager which I know isn't ideal. What do you suggest? and what the relevant costs are?

C&C welcome. Be gentle ***!

A little further down the road. I know about the road, and the sign and the sun, but I still quite like it!

What stunning views! #1 for me - it looks so calm and serene, and I like the way the suns rays catch the snow covered mountain peaks.
