Firework Photography
New Year's celebrations were a great chance to do some firework photography, something I had surprisingly never done before. A conundrum you face, however, is that a large component of…
Kit Blog – Nikon 18-200mm Lens
If there's one piece of gear I couldn't go without (aside from a camera body, obviously), it would be the Nikon 18-200mm lens that Dad gave me a few years…
Lake Okareka
I don't think I've done a blog yet about Lake Okareka, which is ridiculous considering the amount of time I've spent there over the years. Not 20 minutes away from…
Baby Birds
The beauty of nature is apparent at this time of year. Fledglings are being fed by their parents, so that they can grow up to forage on their own. Their…
Happy New Year!
Well, we made it! I've managed to stick to my guns and get a blog post out just about every week this year, so I hope you've enjoyed them. My…
Christmas Kittens
At the moment, a friend of mine is mother to five rapidly growing kittens. Before Christmas I had the brainwave of doing a Christmas-themed photoshoot with them so we could…
Robins
Recently I've been going through old photos dating back to around 2005, when I first got my hands consistently on a digital camera. It's revealed a few gems to me,…

Terns
Muriwai is known mainly for its extensive gannet colonies, but my favourite subjects are the little White-fronted terns that also nest on the cliffs. They're much smaller and faster, which…
Landscapes at Muriwai
A quick blog post while I move back home for the summer! While we mainly go to Muriwai to photograph Gannets and Terns, there are some great opportunities for landscape…
England with an iPhone
I'm in the middle of exams, so I thought an easy post would be a look at my England trip through iPhone photos. I used it much like a point-and-shoot…
Bath
What to say about Bath. It's a beautiful place and has a rich history dating back to the Romans (around AD60) when it was known as Aquae Sulis. The entire…
Tui at Home
At this rate it'll take us a while to get through the England posts, but I had too much fun today not to write a blog post about it. I…
Stonehenge
Stonehenge is difficult to photograph - to visit it you have to stay behind a rope ring that encircles it, and it's usually absolutely surrounded by tourists. Getting a different…
