THE JOURNEY. Driving one morning in the Catlins between Waipapa Point lighthouse and McLean Falls on a random back country road, I came upon this incredible scene in golden morning light. The estuary was like glass and the shades of the gently rolling hills stood out. A moment where the journey was equally as enjoyable as the destination. . . #nz #newzealand #nzmustdo #reflectiongram #splendid_reflections #reflecting_perfection #bns_reflection #loves_reflections #ic_reflections #reflection_shotz Nz Travel, New Zealand Travel, Estuary, Mclean, Morning Light, Splendid, Travel Photos, Lighthouse, Hills

LAYERS. It’s rare for me to post a Black & White shot but this shot suits monochrome and landscape orientation far more than it does vertical and in colour. Layer upon layer of Coromandel hills lead to Castle Rock (aka The Sleeping Giant) in the late evening light.

SPINNING💫. It’s amazing to see 2 hours of the Earth’s rotation captured on camera. Star trails are a newfound passion of mine, but the weather this month for astro has been decidedly average. Last night for just one night everything aligned: clear skies, calm water at Lake Karapiro bar the odd movement wobble, and an uncharacteristically warm winter night. It was the worth the late night and huge bowl of coffee required to get me going again this morning ☕️ . . 📷 Sony A7RIV +16-35 f/2.8 lens.

ARE THESE NZ’S BEST VIEWS? What do you reckon...... I honestly think the flight from Queenstown to Milford Sound is the biggest bang for buck scenery you could ever hope to experience in one short flight, and there are plenty of flight deals to be had this winter if you are headed down south... for more jaw-dropping scenery read the full post in my blog.

DISSIPATE. If I told you that half an hour before sunset the clouds were already lit up heavy with the promise of an epic sunset, would you believe me? The ol’ photographer’s curse of clouds all but disappearing in the last few moments before sunset strikes AGAIN. Instead I had to make do with some interesting rocks and swirling waves while shaking my fist at the clouds moving away at lightning speed. You win some.....! . . 📷 @sonynz A7RIV and 16-35 f/2.8 GM lens 📸 8 seconds f/8 ISO 100 @kase 8 Seconds, Strikes Again, Before Sunset, Fist, Ol, Lightning, Promise

QUIET FOREST. I’m always amazed by the deep silence that envelopes me in the forest, it’s somehow both eerie and welcoming like a warm hug from an old friend.

POLARISING. The rays at this steamy waterfall were so incredible, but I was also fascinated by the difference using my @kasefiltersnz polariser made to the scene. Normally I use a polariser around any water scenes to reduce reflections, but in this instance I actually prefer the first image with the light reflections, it’s great to have the option to choose which best suits the scene! Which do you prefer? —————————————— As the official distributor of @kasefiltersnz in NZ, if you are in the marke One Image, Light Reflection, Cool Suits, Steamy, Rays, Waterfall

O STARRY NIGHT ✨✨ Standing amongst the silent icebergs at Tasman Glacier Lake on a completely still and eerily calm winter’s night is an unbelievable experience! Until today I hadn’t given this image its dues, but after trying out Starry Landscape Stacker with 10 images to reduce the noise which exists in all night shots taken at a high ISO, I’m mighty impressed with the result. Kinda wondering why I didn’t learn how to stack Star shots eons ago 🤪✨ . . 📷 Sony A7RII and 16-35 f/2.8 lens 📸: 15 Glacier Lake, Night Shot, Tasman, Nebula, Northern Lights

A GREAT WALK. There’s never been a better time for Kiwis to hike one of NZ’s Great Walks since we are unlikely to compete with international tourists for space on the tracks this summer. The Routeburn Track is an epic 3 day walk with a huge variety of scenery and every Kiwi should have the chance to experience it. I’ve put together my TOP 9 TIPS FOR WALKING THE ROUTEBURN TRACK - hopefully it might give you the inspiration to get out amongst nature or you can just read it to vicariously enjoy th Walking Poles, Rain And Thunder, Great Walks, South Island, Milford, Day Hike

PERSPECTIVE. There’s something rather wonderful about seeing the world differently. This is just a random park in my hometown, Cambridge in NZ, but it looks so cool from above.... the patterns, the autumn colours... birds definitely get the best view right?! I’m loving trying out the new Mavic Air 2 from @djiferntech this weekend, dodging the rain and wind to get it airborne. With the best battery life of any Mavic Drone at 34 mins and a 48 MP high res shooting mode, I was impressed the minute i Aerial Photography, Mavic Drone, Nice View, Cambridge, Fall Colors

HIDDEN. How often do you wonder how many unique locations lie undiscovered in the deepest, darkest places on Earth?
