After an evening and a morning on Milford Sound it was time to head into Te Anau for the night before heading off to do a repeat on Doubtful Sound. Te Anau was a typical holiday town on a beautiful lake with an interesting wild life sanctuary. Unfortunately like most sanctuaries there is much wire to photograph though so it did not do the birds … Continue reading Doubtful Sound
Monday morning after the storm with no power, a walk round the lagoon to capture a few shots. Continue reading Tygum Lagoon
Well Friday the 2nd Feb it was decided that we would visit a couple of photographers up at Gympie to do a couple of sites that would give as something worth the journey……it did nothing but rain all the day! However my thanks to Gary Guest and his mate for a day of their time. On the way to the main shoot we stopped … Continue reading Gympie Photo Shoot
Driving though the Homer tunnel was interesting a 1 lane no lights experience but the view at the end was just like a Shangrila moment, form the rains and dull entrance to sunshine and beautiful views. I stopped to take a few pictures of the view and a spot called the Chasm. After parking the car is was onto the Milford Wanderer to get … Continue reading Milford Sound
When I planned out this trip I allowed a couple of days ambling driving past the southern alps (Ka Tirititiri O Te Mona)to see Franz Josef, Lake Wanaka and Queenstown but the weather decided otherwise. The picture above is one that epitomised the next 2 days driving with the exception of a couple of breaks. On the way to Haast I stopped off at Ships … Continue reading On the way to Fiordland
CHRISTCHURCH TO GREYMOUTH This was to be an interesting trip as I was carrying my new camera Sony Rx10m4 and my usual A7r11. The reason for this is that it saved weight with not carrying a 600mm lens, so lets see what can happen!!!! I arrived Christchurch on a cloudy afternoon but pleasant temperature, After picking up the hire car a short drive to Springfield … Continue reading New Zealand South Island
At the last couple of photo shoots with the Greenbank RSL I was fortunate to do again a visit to Gecko’s and the butterfly house on Bribie Island. The features image is a Barking Owl and one of my favourite shots. I also like the one above but as I am still newish to lightroom I am not doing it enough justice. And finally … Continue reading Gecko’s Revisited
Just over 2 years ago I joined the Greenbank RSL camera group to hone skills and learn about photography. We have many people within with all types of cameras and levels of skills. Geoff Morgan is our mentor and I am fortunate that we have the same camera so I gain a little more than most within the club. It is interesting though as Geoff … Continue reading Macro shoot at Mt Coot-tha botanical gardens
When viewing it will take a while to load the file. As I write this post I reflect on the time we spent in Havana, Hurricane was unexpected but we have learnt to take the weather in our stride. The 1st video was taken on the day we were eventually allowed out and we could grab a meal and a drink. Amazing that the … Continue reading Cuba…….. the music
After checking the weather and our guide, Fabienne (fabienne68@nauta.cu) on Friday morning we set off for Havana, the events of the earthquake and family/friends concerned (whilst we slept) was thoughtful. The forecast was some rain scheduled for the weekend but nothing much more at that point in time, and as with all storms you are in way at the mercy of mother nature. We … Continue reading Havana Cuba
