Wairepo Arm is a beautiful and serene location new Twizel in New Zealand's South Island, known for its tranquil waters, lush surroundings, and abundant birdlife.

Photographers often visit Wairepo Arm to capture the stunning landscapes, reflections on the calm lake surface, and the diverse flora and fauna that make this area a prime spot for nature photography. It is also the perfect location to capture the Aurora Australis when a solar storm has hit.

Photography info: There are plenty of compositions available at the Wairepo Arm and it just requires taking a wander along the lakeside to find a spot that works for you. This pin is a good spot to start from and point your camera directly south. Use your wide angle lens (16-35mm or similar) and although every Aurora is different, settings similar to ISO800-1600, F2.8-F4, 4-8 seconds is a good place to start.
