Textures of the Antipodes

Gentians, ferns, Acaena (biddy-bids), Lycopodiums and more!

I love photographing wildlife, but something that draws me just as much is the textures of the environment I’m in. All the tiny details. What fascinates me is the scale at which patterns are made in ecosystems – from tiny regular fern fronds and feather textures to the seemingly organised spacing of tussocks across a hillside. This post is a celebration of detail and texture from Antipodes island.
