• Lines and curves. One of my favorite views on our helicopter trip up to Tyndall Glacier in Mt Aspiring National Park was this one looking down the Matukituki Valley towards Wanaka. I loved the lines and curves intersecting all through the scene, like the straight rows of the bottom fields offset by the curved tree line bottom right. The rows of trees in the fields above the braided river seem to lead down to this majestic centre piece as it winds its way right through the centre of the frame. It’s an amazing visual overload - and a view you can really only appreciate from above.

  • Morning magic. When I woke and saw a pre-dawn glow already lighting up the sky I knew I was in for a real treat. I needed to find somewhere close and calm and this beautiful place was the perfect spot to watch the sky erupt in colour, and the hills turn to shades of copper and pink as the first sun rays kissed the peaks.

  • Good luck. Whataroa is home to one of NZ’s rarest birds, the kotuku (white heron), numbered at only about 150 birds. Maori legend tells it is very good fortune to see a kotuku, and they only nest in one location in NZ at Whataroa on @westcoastnewzealand so it is a rare treat to see them with White Heron Sanctuary Tours, run by a local family for over 30 years. Together with the amazing mountain-to-sea scenery of the Southern Alps on the jet boat ride and the thrill of seeing Royal Spoonbills for the first time too, it sure felt like a lucky afternoon 🤩 . . #nz #nzmustdo #westcoastnewzealand #mountains #awesome_shots #awesomeglobe #destinationnz #travelnewzealand #nature #nature_lovers #nature_sultans #nature_shooters #nature_wizards #bestnatureshot #newzealandvacations #natgeotravelpic #fantastic_earth #thegreatplanet #destinationnz #kiwipics #tree_brilliance #tree_perfection #tree_magic #bestplacestogo #whiteherontours #whataroa #kotuku

  • Let there be light. As a massive fan of photographing waterfalls, McLean Falls in the Catlins has long been on my bucket list. Last year in August when I was in the area the track was still closed so you can imagine my excitement to have the opportunity to visit this time on my @arohatours trip. This is the lower falls and the light that was breaking through the trees and lighting up the mist from the waterfall made such an enchanting scene I was in Heaven! . 📷 Sony A7RIV and 16-35 f/2.8 GM lens 📸 1/3 sec f/10 ISO 100 . #NZ #NewZealand #NZMustDo #waterfall #nature_waterfalls #water_shots #water_brilliance #water_perfection #ig_waterfalls #nzwaterfalls #waterfallsfordays #pocket_waters #waterfall #waterfalls #water_captures #longexposure_shots #longexpolite #longexpohunter #wms_longexpo #earth_expos #ic_longexpo #amazing_longexpo #super_photolongexpo #ourplanetdaily #awesome_photographers #fantastic_earth #water_shots #sony #waterfallsofinstagram #mcleanfalls #catlins
