Like many in the country, I jumped out onto my deck and fortunately had a perfect clear view of the Blood Moon Eclipse last night. There was supposed to be an Aurora also, so had plans for that I guess, but as Lady Aurora wasnt in the mood to dance, I stayed home and took a cruisy image instead from the comfort of 3 metres from the lounge.
Thrilled to be awarded an Associateship with the Photographic Society of New Zealand (PSNZ) - These are the images that made that happen!
At this time of year, we all hope for cool winds and no predators. Really isn the middle of Summer?! An incredibly exciting and nervous time for all involved. The chicks take days to hatch and are at their most vulnerable. There is the risk of predators, fly strike, even their own parents big feet! The Royal Albatross Colony is an absolute hive of activity at this tim
We live in an amazing city. This is the Precinct area of Dunedin, which, over the last 10 years or so, has been "upmarketed".. is that a word?! Once, a very industrial area, now its is full of cafes and small businesses (some large too)! Pictured here is Mike & Grace, just outside the Vogel Street Kitchen .. which was once a wool store, carpet storage, carpark, etc
With a very crazy year coming to a close, thought I would post an image that was a tad carnage, but with heart.
Usually every year I have the privilege of capturing the graduating nurses and it is always a highlight to watch the excited faces of all the graduating Nurses, the proud expressions of the family and loved ones attending the celebrations, ceremony and generally everything to do
Drum roll!

One of the nicest things about being a photographer is being able to share your experiences and knowledge of different genres of photography, from wedding, astro, nature, portraiture, even capturing the stuning Royal Albatross on the peninsula at Tairoa Head on the Otago peninsula.
But "what has this got to do with eating cake", you wonder?

Who would believe this image of a beautiful Royal Spoonbil was catpured only 3 mins drive from our beautiful city of Dunedin!

Such comical birds but combined with their grace are valued so much by

Sure you will have to be a little more careful with location choices etc, but your Plan B will rock believe me!
