Ridges Rocks

This picturesque unnamed bay is my most treasured spot along the Great Coast Road on the West Coast of New Zealand's South Island, and this image to date is my very favourite.

I don't have an epic story to tell of how I shot this panorama, it was just one of those rare nights that I could escape the house and the craziness that now goes with having a young family. I could finally head off to my happy place and shoot with my new camera while enjoying the peace, quiet and solitude, under the stars, in one of the darkest places on the planet. And that in itself is pretty epic, I think.
