A skill required for shot #1 is to be able to set up your tripod without
getting in the way of dozens of others setting up their tripods and to
avoid getting their tripods in your frame.

that is one skill he has managed to master.

Probably. Next is geography lessons, as his blog is about his trip to
Queenstown, but the first photo he posts is from Wanaka.

I'm being cynical, as I had some photographer friends from overseas stay
last year, and they too had seen photos of the same subjects posted by
the blogger, which do give a sense of remoteness in nature. It was thus
somewhat of a disappointment to them to find that at each of these
locations they wanted to visit, a bus full of photo-tourists had already
set up.

The interesting thing is, he is based in Auckland.

Beautiful shots of beautiful scenery, regardless of busloads of
tourists, many tripods,and all the other crap that some enjoy
complaining about. The closest that I have seen to these shots were some
lovely areas in the Canadian Rockies, where the lakes and glacier bases
are a brilliant blue due to inclusions of minerals,and the snowy peaks
are pristine.

Nice work indeed.

Thunder Hole, in Acadia is quite lonely, except from about one hour
before a high tide. Then, it's Katie bar the door.

I can feel the chill from here!

I'm nearly a thousand miles north.

Beautiful country though.
