Queenstown is a hard place to beat for nice scenery, the backdrop of the Remarkables can be quite spectacular in the right conditions. We had a great trip down there earlier in the year and I managed to persuade the kids to put up with sitting still for a few minutes one tea time. Some nice golden light was hitting the remarkables and the addition of a strobe with a 1/2CTO gel through a white umbrella at camera left helped create similar light on their faces. The camera was set to manual f/5, 1/125th sec, ISO200, this underexposed the background a bit to give more colour to the sky. The flash was on TTL -0.3EV, using commander mode from the Nikon on camera flash.
