Mount Somers.

About every six months a few of us manage to get out for a couple of days in the backcountry. On this particular June day a NW wind was blowing in Canterbury. This is a foehn wind which results in warm temperatures on the lee side of the mountains. The often overcast conditions can lead to some nice light. This shot is taken looking west towards the Winterslow Range from above the Woolshed Creek hut (31mm, 1/50, f9, ISO200, -0.7EV).
The tramping hut system in New Zealand is very good and this particular hut is brand new. The following bit of fun is produced using multiple pops of flash with a 30 second exposure (30sec, f7.1, ISO 400).
