Above the clouds
A winter expedition into New Zealand’s most dramatic southern alpine region.
While most of us love nothing more than cosying up by the fire and staying warm on a chilly winter’s day, Stephan prefers to grab his camera gear and head for the hills. A few winters back, Stephan ventured into Mt Aspiring National Park by helicopter to capture the park’s impressive peaks at their snow-covered best. Here, he shares the incredible images from this expedition and a few technical tips on shooting mountains from a helicopter during winter.
