Eglinton Valley is a stunning area of Fiordland National Park, New Zealand. With its eye-catching golden tussock grass floor and incredible native beech forests spread along the steep rocky mountains, it's not hard to see why Eglinton Valley is a popular spot for tourists. It's also one of few road-accessible valleys in New Zealand and is home to some of the country's most rare and endangered species of plants and wildlife - making it an ideal spot for photographers and nature lovers alike. Plus it was even featured in the Lord of the Rings movies!

Photo Tip: Shoot on wide angle lens (eg. 16-35mm) and your zoom lens (eg. 70-200mm) for compression shots of the mountains
