Tristan Hughes

Chris Prudden
We showed one of Chris's photos on Metvuw on 27 December 2008, here is another one taken from his doorstep.
Paul Veitch
'Hi James,
These clouds form east of the mountain in a strong westerly, so the photo is taken looking south while walking across the Ahukawakawa swamp using a Sony DSC W80 mid afternoon. I get a lot of use out of your thumbnail weather maps so long may you continue with them.
Regards, Paul Veitch.'
Mike Kindon
'Hi James please find attached a picture of Mt Cook in strong westerly conditions blowing the fresh snow from the previous night off the southern face... taken from the Hermatage on the 22 November 2008 with a Canon EOS400, while we where up there covering the rescue of the Japanese Climber.. love your site/page' wrote Mike Kindon, TV3 Mediaworks.
Phil Lockton
'Hi James love your site, here is a shot taken on the 3 January 2009 at 07:50. There was a mild north west wind and they didn't last long, the
shot was taken from near new Brighton looking south west to the Port
Hills. Camera Olympus E-510. Picture details, 1/250, f 9.0 84mm and
2nd 1/500, f6.3, 208mm. They looked like an army of worms squirming
across the sky, with see thru bodies gently rolling.
Regards, Phil.'
Malcolm Taylor
'Flying from Queenstown to Auckland at 35,000ft we could see a series of wave clouds coming off Mt Egmont. Taken on a Canon Powershot A570'
Regards,
Malcolm Taylor.
Rowan Buxton
Rowan wrote 'This photo was taken on the tops above the Leatham Valley, Marlborough, just south of Mt Saxton. The view is looking southwest along the range and shows northwest cloud that circled us and later cleared. Taken 7 January 2009 at 12:08, at about 1700m, 1/800 F5 ISO 80 using an Olympus 1030 SW.
Thankfully your forecast charts were spot on!'
