After Karekare, Anna and I took some time to explore and sight-see around Auckland, enjoying the New Years fireworks among other things before heading off to our next destination, Rotorua. The morning started out quite overcast so instead of the “routine” morning photo shoot, we opted to start our drive earlier than usual. After many […]

Sorry for the delay folks, my computer crashed a few days ago, and I just spent 4 days on a quick trip to the mountains. But without further delay I am pleased to announce that we have selected the name “Two Wanderers” from the submissions recieved. A big congratulations goes out to Alexander Otto from deviantArt […]

Here’s another photo from our time spent at Karekare Beach. Be sure to read the contest details at the bottom of this post! Buy the print here. This photo was taken after all the color had disappeared from the sky. I found these two shells that had washed up on the beach, just waiting for […]

This was taken a few minutes after Panatahi Island Sunset. This was the kind of sun-star I was hoping for in the last shot, but it was not meant to be. The clouds had already lost most of their color and so I chose to frame a simpler composition, focusing more on the “island” and the […]

After capturing Golden Light, and with the sun nearly setting, I turned my attention back to the composition I had selected earlier. This is the rock formation I had mentioned in the previous blog post, and I actually found out through Google maps, that it’s called Panatahi Island. I waited for the sun to break […]

Continuing from Piha Beach, we headed south to Karekare. Arriving here well before sunset, it gave us plenty of time to look for compositions. My main goal here was to take a shot of the rock formation that juts out of the ocean just off the coast. I brought along an iPhone with The Photographer’s […]

This was the next area we visited after shooting Rangitoto Volcano. It was a small stop on our way to Karekare, and it was here we saw our first New Zealand beach. The sand was blazing hot beneath our feet, and this spot where the water sometimes came up to was perfect for taking off […]

After the long flight to New Zealand, on beautiful V Australia, we landed at the airport around 5 pm (If any of you have never had the chance to fly with them, you’re missing out!) We then picked up our sweet 1984 Mitsubishi Camper-van (see photo at the bottom of this post). After getting a few supplies for […]

Our last day in California, I was really hoping to get down to Laguna Beach for sunset before our flight to New Zealand that same night. I had been researching Laguna Beach for quite some time leading up to the trip, because of the interesting coastline and rock formations . There was a flash flood […]

Another long break from posting. But this time I am happy to say that Anna and I bought a condo, and we’re almost settled in. Sure feels nice to break away from paying rent, and own something of our own. Here’s another image from our time in California. It was a challenge to try and […]
