What a good idea for a challenge and I will keep it in mind for an upcoming trip. The portraits were my favorites. WAY TO GO TOMMY!! I bet your dad was more scared than you were!!
@@juanitakelly3082 I have to admit, I love the portraits, too. There’s something very special about photographing people - especially ones you love. As for Tommy, he is genuinely amazing. I Bungy jumped about 25 years ago, and I remember how I felt afterwards, so I really wanted that for him, too. He wants to do it again. 😄
Beautiful idea for a challenge, and how a creative should always challenge himself onto new paths. You last landscape photo, and the Mitsubishi facing the path.. are 🔥
Great episode Peter, it's been such a long time since I took photos just for fun and creative enjoyment. I already have lots going on in my life, but this has made me feel like dusting off the old camera and getting out there again. Please congratulate Tommy for doing something that I would never have the courage to do. cheers .. Frank
@@user-dk4hg1xc9z Thanks, Frank. Photography is a great way to see more of what’s in front of you. And best of all, you can do it till the day you die.
Yes, and they're both mentioned (and shown) in the video. You can also see them in my separate X2D review video. I bought both the Fotodiox and Novoflex adapters from their respective websites.
Loved the video and the challenge. Gorgeous photos and a beautiful family. Queenstown is such a stunning place. I didn't want to leave. Thank you for sharing.
Just found your channel, so glad I did! Loving the simplistic approach and experience you are able to transfer to the audience. Some fantastic shots as well as video!
Great place to visit Peter, so many opportunities where ever you look. 😀 Not the quaint place it was back in the 1950’s and 60’s and of course some people get the impression it’s all NZ is . Did you get to Arrowtown ? As nippers we used to go up those rivers with gold pans expecting to make our fortune 😀 and of course Arrowtown is amazing in Autumn. Your challenge is a good one , one of the problems I’m having at the moment is I’ve developed a bit of a mindset of not photographing much that wouldn’t make it to a youtube video and being less thoughtful just trying to “get it done” for the next post, it feels like the tail wagging the dog. If you get the chance to come over in winter or late winter you might enjoy checking out the mountains and lakes within easy reach of Christchurch. Here are a couple of tasters ruclips.net/video/JN7pXJSZSrY/видео.html and ruclips.net/video/OvBacmwiDFw/видео.html that last one is the TransAlpine train which I did twice with my dad in his 80’s once in winter and the other in summer . Both of these videos are made of images I took BEFORE going down the RUclips rabbit hole 😀
Your comment was held for moderation because it contained links, so I'm sorry for the late response, Chris. We didn't get to Arrowtown, but it was one of the places that interested me. I need to spend a few weeks in that whole region, that's for sure - it's spectacular. I'm starting to think that amazing landscape images are so common, now, the best RUclips videos don't make the images, but rather the story, the centrepiece. These days, I'm focused on photographing for pleasure, so 95% doesn't even get filmed, much less shared on RUclips. It's better in every way. Thanks for sharing those two videos. I've cued them up in two tabs to watch in the next 24 hours or so. Take care, mate, and sorry again for the belated response.
I've been a hobbyist photographer for more then 50 years. I did lots of weddings ( B&W and later in life, color) . Now I'm into street photography (of course B&W). I've been watching a lot of u tube videos and I am tired of people making videos to talk about themselves with words or show off. You and Sean Tucker talk and show PHOTOGRAPHY. This is the subject of these videos. I tried to find extra words in your videos and I could not find any. Thank you for sharing your experience and passion for photography which helps me a lot.

Peter, thank you for another great episode. I loved the three topics you picked and all the photos you shared. Very inspiring . Keep well.
@@adnanmansour8757 Thank you, Adnan. And you, too.
Good video. Enjoyed it very much...and rather special to see you moved by the photos of your lovely wife and son.
@@bikecameraaction3334 Thanks for watching, and for taking the time to comment. 👍
Beautiful pictures. For a non photographer such as myself, it gives me an appreciation of the art. Well done.
Thanks, Crossie. 🙂
Pater, are you using a lens adapter on that X2d, or am I mis-seeing it? If you are, where are you getting them please?
Yes, and they're both mentioned (and shown) in the video. You can also see them in my separate X2D review video. I bought both the Fotodiox and Novoflex adapters from their respective websites.
Some lovely landscapes there. The wider shots are my faves :)
Thanks, Ewen. I hardly ever shoot wide, but your recent videos have caused me to rethink all that.
Loved the video and the challenge. Gorgeous photos and a beautiful family. Queenstown is such a stunning place. I didn't want to leave. Thank you for sharing.
@@johnbentley1056 Many thanks, John. I felt the same way about Queenstown. I reckon I could spend months there and never get bored with the scenery.
Really cool shots. Well done.
I also liked the video of your son jumping. How fun!
@@TroySwezey Thanks, mate. Yeah, I love how the woman filming it was laughing and saying, “Shiiiiiiiittt!”
Top class video story and phots there Peter . Thanks for doing that : ) great !
Thank you, Chris!

@@geetee2583 Thank you! 🙏
Hi, nice pictures, did you use the camera in 3:2 crop mode when using the LEICA VARIO-ELMAR-R 80-200? Thanks
Thank you. Not often, no. I usually crop in post, but when I do it in-camera, it's usually the 1:1 or X-Pan crop I go for.
Great adventure great photos. Looking forward what to come 😊 always enjoy your content Gabriela from Germany
Vielen dank, Gabriela!
Planning South Island next year - wine, glaciers, and photography.
I'm already jealous, Jesse!
@@peterfritzphoto Frankly, I'm jealous of my future self. 😂
@@jessezee1 Haha!!
All so beautiful
