The Church of the Good Sheppard is probably one of the most photographed little churches in New Zealand. While I knew it was popular with photographers I did not expect so many tourist to be visiting and walking around the church late in the afternoon on the day we arrived in Tekapo. Mind you, I can see why its so popular. Tekapo was probably my favourite of all the towns and cities we travelled to during our two week road trip around New Zealand. It’s just such a beautiful and quaint little lake side town. Given we visited New Zealand in the Autumn, the Autumn colours were spectacular, especially late in the afternoon. Lake Tekapo felt so peaceful, beautiful and calm.
I actually photographed this church twice, once in the afternoon in golden hour (this photo here) and another time at night with the stars in the background. As there were lots of highlights and shadows in this scene, I bracketed the scene at +1, 0 and -1, then processed this in Photomatix Pro. This is a HDR photo that is part of the Technocolour Series. It’s been fun experimenting with HDR photography and seeing what my little Fujifilm X-T10 can do. Thanks for stopping by today.
