The Last Shot

“Follow those dreams, don’t leave them on the pillow”
Paul C Smith

​I did a final round of Mt Cook village, it was a little cloudy and I had decided to sleep in. There was this final shot I had in mind and not been replicated by others before. It was my last morning at Mt Cook and I was due to meet up with a friend, Katie, who was finishing her own epic adventures.

That final shot I had in mind would be off the main highway into the village, I wasn’t sure exactly where, but I remember seeing a line of pine trees with Mt Cook in the background - I thought this would make for a great composition and something a little different. 

​And it was time to leave, the thoughts that would go through my mind were like previous visits: every time I visit, I find out about more photo shoot ideas, wanting to come in different conditions, different times of the year, contrasting times of the day.

And so, I was on my way - I stopped a couple of times, I don’t know if I got the shot that I was after, but it was a good excuse just to stop and take in the scenery for one last time, one last shot - The Last Shot.
