I've always wanted to photograph a tree tunnel and here in New Zealand there is a good opportunity through a tunnel of Macrocarpa trees on the Sandymount Track of the Otago Peninsula.

Photography Tips

It may be best to bracket the shot for a rather dark and difficult exposure. You will require to Photoshop or Lightroom to maximize the dynamic range. This is a 3 second exposure so you will need a tripod.

Travel Information

Travel on the Highcliffe Rd outside of Dunedin and head west until you see the right turnoff to Sandymount. Continue to the end and park at the trailhead. 100m in you will reach the tunnel. Continue on the entire track for stunning views of the cliffs and ocean along the coast.
