Fujifilm X-T1, XF10-24, ISO200, 10mm, f8, 1/50s
Roys Peak in Wanaka is arguably the second most popular photo destination in Wanaka, NZ. Right after The Tree, of course. While the main track rewards you with sweeping views of the mountains, it takes you quite a bit away from the lake.
When I did my research, I found that wedding parties book helicopter rides to a location that offered the same view, but a lot closer to the lake. Two and a half years ago there was no additional information on this spot to be had. So I sat down with my map and did some old-school triangulation based on the photos I had found on the internet. One fine winter evening my partner and I set off on an entirely unmarked route. Disclaimer: Don’t do this if you don’t know how to stay safe in the mountains!
There was a lot of uncertainty whether I had found the right spot. Confirmation arrived in form of a low buzz just minutes before we made it up. A helicopter landed right at our magic spot. A young couple got out of the chopper, walked up to the little peak and he took a knee. It was my pleasure to take a few photos of the newly engaged from a distance.
After that little adventure we settled in for sunset. I took a whole range of images for different purposes, landscape, portrait, with and without people (us) in them. Two of the people shots eventually ended up on the covers of Wilderness Magazine and Wanaka’s very own Yellow Pages. The latter right next to an ad for septic tanks, which I thought was really funny.
This shot was a nice and simple landscape composition that relied heavily on lead lines and complementary colours. Yes, the orange was really that nuclear. The way back down a slippery slope at night was equally interesting. With the lights of the Milky Way above, and the ones of Wanaka below us, it was a truly magical trip.
These days I see a picture of this spot on Facebook every other day. Sometimes with a tent planted right in the sweet spot. I’m not sure how to feel about it. On the one hand us photographers enjoy the beauty and solitude of unique places like this one. On the other hand the results of our work take some of the magic away by luring more people in.
What are your thoughts on this particular dilemma?

Bjørn Ramstad – bing translated: Went the picnic skumringa tonight. Brought me Fujifilm x-M1 with a sumicron 50 mm from early 50-number. Fun to take pictures at freehand in foggy light. Not Kalenderbildekvalitet, but a little melancholy høststemning.
