Lake Matheson, New Zealand
Mount Cook reflects in the still Lake Matheson at twilight. Photographed in 2008, I spent the next hour in sub zero temperatures stood on its icy shore hoping to get a long exposure of the stars reflecting in the lake. When the shutter finally opened I quickly realised that the lens was fogged up and the photo was nothing but a blur. Lesson learnt, when photographing near water check your lens for fogging (especially when cold!).
