Hutt Wrecked
Shot in the Hutt River near Moonshine Bridge, Upper Hutt, New Zealand, view towards Moonshine Bridge. I’ve been working with this trapped timber for a few weeks now and still have not got the shot that I want, this is becoming a challenge, what I want is to get this image at sunrise, the sun comes up at the end of the tree line, it could be magical, I will keep at it.
All made possible by my fishing waders and sandbags, what you cant tell, coz my 17mm lens is so wide angle that the lens is about 30cm from that branch, I’m knee deep in the water and the water drops off to about 4 feet to the right of the branch, an extreme approach but thats the difference, no one else can get this shot, no one else is daft enough.
Shot on a Nikon D700 with 17-35mm Nikkor Lens, Cokin ND8 grad, tripod and sand bag.
