Top 5 Sunset Shots<br />
by Brendon Gilchrist<br />
HINAPOURI TARN<br />
F11, 1/10s, ISO1250<br />
Hinapouri Tarn consists of 2 small mountain lakes located near the famous Lake Angelus in Nelson Lakes<br />
National Park. I accessed this location via Robert Ridge, the most scenic as well as the shortest route of the 4<br />
possible ways to get here.<br />
Hinapouri Tarn is only a 15min walk away from Lake Angelus where I was camping for the night. I was giving<br />
up hope of a decent sunset as nothing was looking promising, it was a bit windy with ripples on the water and<br />
the sky was a dead grey color. I was getting ready to settle down for the night but had left the camera on the<br />
tripod just-in-case.<br />
I turned around and saw some colours in the sky starting to come through, the lake was also calming down<br />
then within a minute the lake was dead calm and the sky was pink.<br />
It was amazing how fast everything changed and is also the reason why I never pack my gear away as this<br />
sunset only lasted 5 minutes or so which would have been valuable lost time if I’d had to set up all my gear.<br />
