The above photo is one of Trey Ratcliff’s photos of the famous New Zealand Moeraki boulders, check out his post that goes along with the photo here.
A visit to the Moeraki boulders is on my list of places to visit and I’ve been toying with the idea of an extended visit to New Zealand to photograph the boulders and all things New Zealand. My biggest fear about any trip is that I’ll not get ‘the shot’ and will have wasted my time which generally ends up with my doing a mountain of research before I go.
I’ve written about ‘virtual scouting‘ before and I continue to use this method while looking for additional tools that would be useful. One tool that I’ve been playing with recently is Trey Ratcliff’s iPad app Stuck on Earth. It seems to be a cross between Flickr and Google Earth. You can use the app to navigate to pretty much any interesting place on the planet and see what other photographers have achieved. I can’t wait for it to be available in other formats.
Trey’s image is amazing ~ will check out his post for sure! Thank you š RL
I like it too! He has a bunch of others from the same place but I liked this one the best.
I just loved your blog. Congratulations for your work!!
Many thanks! I greatly appreciate it.
An amazing image indeed and a great blog!
Many thanks for the kind words!
Cool. I don’t go in with that type of research, but I can see the value in it.
Wow! What an amazing image!
Many thanks.
I’m hoping to visit New Zealand next year. I wonder what I’ll come up with at Moeraki, hopefully something equally as distinct. We’ll see.
I Like good Photography keep it up !
Thanks for the encouragement!
Big Mac.
and fries to go?
Fantastic photo and blog. New Zealand is one of my favorite places. I was there about 7 months ago and I cannot wait to get back there. So much to photograph, so little time š
New Zealand looks awesome. I’m hoping to go to the south island next February. Any tips or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Sure is. will get back to you with some stuff you shouldn’t miss.
