More of those sweet pastel skies (and cute penguins)

I wrote a couple of days ago about pointing the “wrong way” and still getting the shot… Because when you face away from a sunset, that’s when you get to capture those really nice soft pastel colours in the sky. For this particular shot, there was no question about...

This is Hyams beach. Commonly thought of as one of Australias best beaches, which I agree with… I first heard of Hyams beach about 6 or 7 years ago when I was asking a work friend recommendations for cool places to take some mates who were visiting for the first time...

how to point the wrong way and still get the shot

Hope your weekend was a good one! We had an interesting afternoon yesterday. I was Sonia’s assistant (translation = gear carrier) while she was photographing some adoption profile shots for two huskies. If you ever want to set yourself a challenge, try photographing...

I’ve talked about the "Photographers Panic” recently. This shot is probably the most extreme version of the panic I’ve ever experienced! I took it in a town in NZ called Wanaka, a place which is quite famous for a particular tree (which I didn’t take any photos of,...

This is a shot of lake Wakatipu in New Zealand. About half way along the road to Glenorchy from Queenstown. Sonia and I had spent the afternoon exploring the copious stopping points along the lakes edge and came back to this spot for sunset because it had some great...

Don’t you love it when you hear about something amazing for the first time and it leaves you wondering “how am I only hearing about this now?!" That happened to me when I first visited Tasmania. The first half of our visit, Sonia and I were on a tour with a group of...
