The Cathedral Cove – A must-see when you are in Coromandel, New Zealand. This tall rock with the nice shape in the ocean gives you a marvellous view when leaving the cave on the way to the spot. We also liked the fact, that most of the people visit this lovely place during daytime and leaving quite soon, resulting in a perfect spot to watch the sunset. (At least in spring) Moreover, keep the tide in mind when you want to walk to the other side.

From Doctor's Rocks in Tasmania to Cathedral Cove in New Zealand.... I love rocks!

For a landscape photographer shooting during daytime has become something quite unusual. I like to do it more and more and I also like the clear and bright colors. It doesn't always have to be that dramatic red sky ;-)

Processing this one involved my usual exposure blending to gain some dynamic range, and then some contrast and color work.

Working our way up the Coromandel Peninsula of New Zealand's north island, my wife and I stopped at Cathedral Cove, where I captured this three shot, hand held pano....

I included these girls grabbing a photo to add some scale to this panorama of NZ's Cathedral Cove....
