• 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.

  • 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. 📸: 14 x 10 min exposures f/4 ISO 400 . . #NZ #NewZealand #NZMustDo #milkyway #laketarawera #jetty #lake #stargazing #night_shooterz #nightphotography #night_captures #nightshooters #night_excl #nightxpo #night_shots_ #pocket_nights #stars #nightscape #outdoortones #earth_magic #sonyalpha #reflections #starrynight #worldbestgram #theuniverse #nightsky #nighttime #starlight #sonyalphanz #waikatonz

  • ARE THESE NZ’S BEST VIEWS? What do you reckon......

  • 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 market for revolutionary high quality filters to enhance your photography, get in touch! . . 📷 @sonynz A7RIV and 16-35 f/2.8 GM lens 📸 1 second f/7 ISO 100 @kasefiltersnz CPL
