Paraglider over New Zealand Alps · **2 Likes**

I took this shot of a paraglider floating over the mountains in the South Island of New Zealand.

I had taken my old K200D out for a hike that day and had my DA50 f1.8 on.

I submitted this shot to a New Zealand travel magazine and they have just published it on the back cover of their latest issue.

There's still life in the old K200D yet!

Congratulations on becoming a published photographer, hope there was some financial recompense too.
