Craig Ford, Southern Alps Dreamscape (PLACES WILDERNESS 2023)

Following a three hour early morning hike to the top of Roy's Peak, I decided to focus on the westerly view over Glendhu Bay and the majestic Southern Alps rather than the iconic image of Roy's Peak. Utilising long exposure techniques I was rewarded with dramatic dawn light which filtered through the dark clouds above and highlighted the ethereal movement of the mist below me.
