- Landscape Photography in New Zealand Part 1: Queenstown: This is the first installment of our series of landscape photography videos from New Zealand.

Great job guys. Looking forward to the next edition!
Thank you Shane! Next one should be ready today ;) Sam.
New Zealand you say? I'm not jealous...oh no....not me! Looks like you are both having a great time. Looking forward to part 2!
It's definitely an amazing place! Really looking forward to putting some of the other videos together as well, we got off to a slow start with the photography I think, but it definitely came together in the end! It was a good chance to give my new filters a run in as well! Sam.
I would like to visit New Zealand one day, it looks like a photographer's paradise. You've taken beautiful images.
Thank you very much Fabrizo, we really appreciate that! It is an absolutely stunning location! Sam.
Hannah & Sam... Just finished watching the 1st part in your New Zealand Vlogs & am really looking forward to the other parts being uploaded. I was lucky enough couple of years ago to visit my wife's relatives in the North Island & travel about a bit & get a sense of scale & beauty of that part of New Zealand... But this has got me seriously thinking I need to visit the South Island asap with its stunning vistas & beautiful mountain & lake scenery. Wow... that was just from your first two days, so the next eight are gonna be epic.. Great Vlogs Thank You for sharing 👏👏👏
Thank you very much David. We didn't have enough time to explore North Island much, just day trips around Auckland, including some of the nearby islands. My favourite photos are from later on in the trip on South Island, but the scenery throughout was stunning. H
cracking vlog, what a stunning location you got some brilliant shots but for me Hannahs show of the leaves was the best was a stunning shot.looking forward to next instalment
Thank you very much Andy; glad you liked it. H
Beautiful shots.... awesome composition, they were stunning Sam!! And I loved Hannah's photos too.... especially the leaves on the pebbles. Wow!! So happy I stumbled across your You Tube channel! 😊 On to the next NZ video..... 💕
Thank you Angie! Personally, I think Hannah's photo of the leaves was my favourite from our time in Queenstown. We flew all that way, and she knocks it out of the park with one of her intimate shots! This was such a beautiful spot. Thanks for watching, and glad you're enjoying the videos! S.
Sam and Hannah you have the perfect country to express yourselves, you've had a great start
Thank you David! I think we got off to a bit of a slow start, but there's more to come :)
Sorry I'm a bit late coming to this one. Wow, what awesome scenery. Those mountain telephoto images were stunning from both of you. Particularly liked your pebble/leaf image at the end Hannah. lovely colours and composed really well.
Thanks Jamie, it was a spectacular place, a real bucket list location! Hannah's image was my favourite from this day too. Sam.
Another great vlog guys
Thanks Kate!

Well S&H, I'm not sure I can come up with any adjectives that would quite do justice to that wonderful scenery! It did make me chuckle though Sam, when Hannah took an amazing photo of the distant mountain peaks, followed by you saying "we decided to swap cameras" and you ended up with the long lens:-) I know how those conversations go. Although your long shot was really dramatic, for me, I think Hannah's intimate shot of the leaves and stones was the clear winner for the day. So, 1:0 to the boss so far :-)
Really looking forward to following the rest of your adventure.
Best, J
Haha, thank you Julian! I absolutely agree, Hannah's shot of the red leaves is my favourite as well. I find it really hard to make those kind of shots work, but she has the right eye for it. I think a new telephoto lens has jumped up the list of priorities though since this trip! ;) S.
Looks incredible thanks for sharing look forward to the rest of the videos
Thanks David!
Great6 opening episode both. Decent images in what looked like testing light, but that scenery is a winner in any conditiojn methinks.... Think Hannah just edged you in the image stakes Sam, her opening with that hin of colour was a bit nice you know ;) Looking forward to the next instalment, the clips shown had you looking a bit emotional Mr B :) atb Alan
Haha, yes I did get a bit emotional! That's a sandfly I'm wiping off my face in the intro though Alan, not a tear!!! :) Hannah's shot's definitely trumped mine here (although I think I get my trump card later on in the trip!). I found it a difficult start in Queenstown, especially in the next video where I think I had one of my lowest points in photography, but that's just how it goes with this hobby, swings and roundabouts! Sam.
Great to hear you have done some wildlife photography recently, its always good to have a change from the norm
Hi, thanks for your message. Yes, it's good to do a range of photography: normally for me it's hares, though in NZ I turned my hand to landscapes and (not in the videos) gannets.
Great to see you both back on here 😁 beautiful shots and I can't wait to see the rest of the series
Thank you Greg! There's some good stuff to come ;)
Looks like an amazing journey for you both so far! There's no one around, how wonderful!
Oh it was stunning! And yes, some areas were completely empty, we had them completely to ourselves! Thanks for watching Jo!
What a dream locations for me. Great set of images guys
Thanks Paul, it was a real bucket list location for us too! Very long flight though! :)
Looks like you two have landed in the location score of a lifetime. Beautiful images from both of you. I really look forward to your other videos. Great work and thanks for sharing with us. :)
Thanks Jim, it really was a spectacular place! S.
Really good vlog, some beautiful shots and the scenery looks stunning! That 100-400 looks like a winner!
Thanks Tom! It’s a great lens, unless you want to carry it up a mountain! The mark 2 version is supposed to be a lot better though, I think it’s next on our purchase list.
Great vid again. I have been to NZ some years ago, beautiful. Hello from Germany.
Hi Hu, it's a stunning place, I hope you had a good trip there! Thanks for watching! Sam.
Hi can I know where the locations is in Queenstown for lake and mountain background.
I’m trying to figure out when to go to New Zealand - and I’m wondering when you were in Queenstown ?
Hi Cindy, we were there in October. We were there right at the end of winter and ended up struggling a lot with the weather. I would have preferred to visit a bit later in the year but I was visiting because of work so didn't have much choice! If you do go though it is an amazing place and is always worth a visit regardless of weather, but I'd definitely recommend timing it a little later in the year if you can! Hope you have a great trip when you do go! Sam.
Ka Pai! Looking forward to more of this series! How did you get on with the NZ food bucket list?xx
Hey. Didn't really progress much after that initial haul of Whittaker's chocolate, L&P and biscuits, except the addition of hokie pokie ice cream: LOVE this. We did, ahem, plan to bring you guys some Whittaker's, but, well, it went. Oh and feijoa are disgusting (were you trying to poison me??). H xx
Sam and Hannah Bose Photography haha that’s no too bad. Feijoas are amazing! The actual fruit is less sour than the lollies but they have such a short season. Glad you liked everything else though!x
Me like :) Great first episode you two! 6:13 and 7:45 are both really good, well done! Did you see any hobbitses down under? :)
Hey Oddbjørn. Thank you. Hobbits seen: 0; hobbits (wizards etc) quoted: lost count! Not that we filmed that: you are spared our silly antics ;-)
H
@@BosePhotography haha! Always include wizard antics! :)
oddbjørn austevik foto. Haha, Hannah isn’t aware that actually I did film several hobbit related items, maybe I’ll edit them in when she’s not looking ☺️! Actually we were tracking the footsteps of two young hobbits, the spot where we’re sitting during the end screen of this video was their last known location 😂
Wow, I admire your images, what an extraordinary video. I admire the story too. It will be superb if you took a peak at my channel to see if you admire any of my videos. Keep up the amazing work! I look forward to your next video.
Hi Stephen, thanks for watching! Just had a quick look at your channel, looks great, particularly like th focus on film as this is something I'm hoping to do more of (I've just got hold of an old 35mm Olympus). Keep it up and I'll look forward to sitting down and watching some of your videos. Sam.
Sam and Hannah Bose Photography looking forward to seeing the new Olympus in action.
