Taking a medical job in New Zealand may be the first time you fully test the capabilities of your camera. Whether you use an SLR or your trusty smartphone, you'll want to make sure you don't miss certain spots in the Land of the Long White Cloud, like the Franz Josef Glacier and the Shotover River canyon.
In about a 7-mile (12-km) span, the Franz Josef Glacier drops from towering mountains to tropical rainforest to create one of the most dramatic views your eyes will ever see. Situated on the West Coast of New Zealand's South Island, the magnificent natural landmark is best captured with a panoramic shot.
Straight through Otago for about 37 miles (60 km), the Shotover River is a rapid-flowing stream that is perfect for wild whitewater rafting adventures. The river and canyons are located in Queenstown, and often boast a number of zipping red boats in its fast waters. Whether you attempt to zoom across the river or bungee jump off the side of a canyon, you'll want photo evidence that you stepped foot in this spectacular region of New Zealand.
