Photospot

Twelve Mile Delta boat ramp is a cool spot near Queenstown where you can camp by the river delta and chill out by Lake Wakatipu. No only that, it is a great spot for astrophotography which isn't too far from town. The sky is dark enough to be able to photograph the milkyway perfectly and with the shores of Lake Wakatipu in the foreground its a win win photo spot.

If you're travelling in a self contained campervan you can park here over night and shoot the stars then go back to bed!

Photo info: Use your widest angle lens, have your tripod with you and I shot this during Autumn at 9.30pm in late April.
