Milford Sound - defy the odds

entry description
Almost an entire month of constant rain during a photography trip on the South Island of New Zealand led to a personal challenge for me that I try to share with this series of images. When I look back now I realize how important this eventful and unpleasant weather challenge has been for me to become a better and more creative photographer. This series of images, taken in and around Milford Sound, is focusing on a common issue amongst photographers, the frustration that we experience when conditions do not line up for us the way we had hoped for. Always try to make the best out of a difficult situation, see the beauty around me even between the thickest shades of gray, and how to keep my gear dry are only a few lessons I learned on that amazing trip to New Zealand. In other words, to defy the odds when things are out of our control.back to gallery
