Nelson Lakes (first 2 images) is an incredible place and very well known! However, just down the road, only by a few hours or so, is the Moria Arch in Karamea! This is far less well known, despite being an EPIC spot and being film location in Lord Of The Rings.
I took my Sony A7Rii on this trip and captured both locations with a 28mm f2 lens and these are some of my favorite results!
