There is a good reason why famed movie director Peter Jackson picked numerous locations on New Zealand’s South Island to film his iconic Lord of the Rings trilogy.  There are few places in this world with as many breathtaking landscapes waiting to be photographed as you will find on the South Island.  From majestic glaciers to the towering mountaintops of the Southern Alps, to Milford Sound and the breathtaking fjords and sounds of Fjordland National Park, the South Island is a playground for travel photographers.  From the moment you land to the moment you depart, you will not want to put your camera down.
