This roadside pullover on the Tasman Lake Road is an amazing spot to take a photo of Mount Blackburn with the road lining up perfectly. This location in particular looks amazing on your zoom lens and during golden hour just after sunrise and before sunset.

It is also amazing for shooting the milkyway and astrophotography especially during the NZ winter months (June - August).

Please take care when setting up for this shot as it is the main road to Tasman Lake and can get very busy with cars. Always have a spotter and stay clear on oncoming traffic and from behind.

Photography info: Take your mid range zoom lens (70mm-200mm or similar).
