One of my absolute favourite Queenstown photography spots and one that is relatively easy to get to is the view down the Shotover River Gorge from Edith Cavell Bridge.
If you've booked to go jet-boating on the Shotover River you will actually pass over the bridge where this shot was taken from.
The Edith Cavell bridge on Arthurs Point Road is around 15 minutes from the city centre heading towards Coronet Peak ski field. There is public carparking available just past the bridge on your left.
Please note the bridge is very skinny and you will need to stand on the provided footpath and steer clear of any large vehicles crossing the bridge while you are on it.
Photography info: Because the canyon is in shadow most of the time I would suggest photographing during the day so you can achieve the best light possible. Use your wide angle lens for this spot.
