Drama

Here is another image from Mt. Ruapehu. This was when the clouds started rolling in late in the afternoon. As you can see, the clouds added contrast to the perfectly blue sky. A friend and I are planning on walking around the city to do some night photography tonight, so lets hope the weather holds off so that I can add some variety to this photoblog.

Also, remember that stop motion video I posted a while ago. Well, look at what amazing stop motion looks like: Fantastic Mr. Fox

Look Directly Into It

I wanted to post a photograph today that would show you how amazing the weather was this weekend on Mt. Ruapehu. There was not a cloud in the sky on Saturday (until the end of the day when all of the sudden they seemed to pop out behind us while we were on the chairlift) and only a soft blanket of clouds hovering by the lower mountains on Sunday. Though the composition in this image could be better, I like it because it shows how powerfully birght the sun was and how beautiful the snow was. I know photos don't do justice to the actual expierence - standing on ice with a pair of two by four's strapped to your feet while the wind hurls itself at you - but, I hope you can still see how amazing it is.
