A cruise on Milford Sound is an amazing experience. Milford Sound is the most famous Fjord in New Zealand’s Fiordland National Park with some of the highest peaks and U-shaped valleys (left by a melting glacier) typical of a Fjord. Rudyard Kipling has called Milford Sound, the eight wonder of the world.

Fur Seals and Sea Lions are commonly seen on the cruise through Milford Sound. The natural beauty of the place is almost impossible to capture due to the variations in light. Also as a photographer you are caught in a dilemma – whether to use to the Telephoto lens to capture the wildlife or to use the Wideangle lens to capture the scenic panorama. I was doing both (manically changing lenses between photographs). I was lucky to capture this moment through a telephoto lens (70-300mm Zoom-Nikkor lens) borrowed from a friend. More technical details about the photo at my photoblog (click on Image Info).
