168*/365/2019 :: A shot I've been always dreaming of

Hokitika Gorge, Hokitika Gorge Scenic Reserve, South Island, New Zealand

It has always been time-consuming when come to photo selection for post-processing. Flipping through the series of photos I marked at the very beginning during the trip, those marked photos suppose to be process further, no that I wanted to keep delaying the post-processing chores but just couldn’t get the mood to kick start the protocol, suddenly saw this photo being marked way long ago then decided to bring it to the next level.

I nearly have forgotten I have this shot to be honest (probably too long didn’t visit my album storage for quite some time). I find it super lucky as I insisted to have such composition even before the trip began. Whenever I planning a trip, always filled with ideas in my mind, quickly bring up my notepad start jotting down everything. I do know despite of having great ideas, oftentimes end up missing the chance due to unforeseen circumstances especially got distracted from other things an etc, but at the very least I somehow managed to secure the shot I wanted although it wasn’t ideal.

Standing any longer on this bridge could make you even nervous and scarier, because the bridge can easily shaking whenever someone walk passed. I gotta wait all the tourists done their crossing from both directions then quickly placing the tripod and have wifey standing at the exact spot (under the sunlight) as an indicator and of course leaving an extra space for me to rush over for couple shot in the middle of the bridge photography. I always wanted to do this, just couldn’t find a bridge covered with green scenery, lucky to visit here and finally stripe off from my to-do-list.
