Half-Day Queenstown Photography Tour

Posted By : badgergirl2018
Glen is a highly accomplished professional photographer and we learned so much from him during our half day adventure. We had many stops at pristine locations to take pictures and appreciate the beauty of the lake Wakatipu area. Glen was very patient and skillfully managed our group of photographers of varying skill levels from iPhone to enthusiast amateur to an advanced level individual, providing each with valuable tips. He knows the region extremely well and his unique insights enhanced our experience. We had exceptional weather that provided a wealth of opportunities for creative photography that Glen took full advantage of. We highly recommend Glen for a fantastic learning and fun experience in the broader Queenstown area.

My two tours with Glen; sunset in Skipper Valley, followed by sunrise in Glenorchy, were one of the key highlights of my 5-week trip in NZ. Glen works hard to ensure you get the most out of a tour while his easy-going laid-back style makes for a fun engagement. Very passionate about his craft and generous with sharing his knowledge on image taking in some stunning locations. As a follow-up, I engaged Glen remotely from Ireland in a couple of Advanced Lightroom processing sessions using the images taken on the tours as the subject matter - got some great tips for creating compelling images. My plan is to regularly engage Glen in refresher sessions

Did the sunrise photography tour and it was raining a bit by the time we reached near the Skippers Canyon area. Glen was super helpful giving critique (technical things such as aperture, focal length and ISO plus lenses) and creative tips on improving the shots and framing as we went through various spots of photo opportunity. He also shouted us morning tea which was very kind and thoughtful. There were 4 of us in the group and we all had a great time - lots of banter and laughs in the car!

Breathtaking views and absolutely worth it. AAA+++

Our visit to New Zealand was truly memorable, with the attention to detail and personalization that Glen provided. As an amateur photographer, I learned techniques to take better landscape pictures. My photography lens was a 24-70 GM; for a moment, I felt I was missing out on some shots since I did not have a longer lens. Glen also brought his gear to seize the moment, which was an unexpected surprise. I traditionally have Sony Gear, but I was able to use his Nikon cameras and lenses to capture the moment. I never felt rushed when site seeing and felt safe even though the roads were narrow when going off-roading. Glen was exceptionally attentive and willing to go the extra mile on this private tour.

Oh, and the blood orange tea that he made was excellent!

Thank you, Glen!

Glen has a wealth of experience that he's only too happy to part with. I learnt so much in such a short time. He is flexible to make the most of light, locations and photographers ability. He is passionate about photography and showcasing the beauty of New Zealand landscape. We spent 5hrs around the Wanaka area. Great value for money. I will be back next year!

Knowledgeable, enthusiastic guide who creates an awesome experience for you while chasing the light. Improved my photography no end and remembered things I had forgotten from not needing to use them. Subtly managed when I needed assistance to capture a great image and when I needed to try on my own. Fantastic experience.

The weather was cloudy and sometimes shower, therefore some views were blocked by the fog and clouds. Glen Howey, who was a professional photographer living in Queenstown for over 5 years, somehow knew how to deal with this mess.

I got some epic photos in the 5-hour tour. Among the photos I uploaded, two have black and white filter added because the scenes are born for B & W pictures.

Some other photos may look photoshopped, but they are unedited. They look awesome because Glen Howey brought me to the right place at the right time.

The tour is the best for those who enjoy landscape photography

Glen was a superb host to my son and myself. The weather didn't look great when we were about to start, but we wanted to proceed anyway and I’m so glad we did. We achieved wonderfully moody shots at locations few would ever visit. Glen’s a great conversationalist who makes you feel at ease, and the trip so much more enjoyable for that. And to top it all off, we got snow in the middle of spring. Highly recommended
