Chosen
The day prior to this, a fierce storm arrived and obliterated the majority of the lupin scattered around the lakes edge. I went for a walk at dawn and was pleased to find this small patch undisturbed, standing tall as they reached for the light

Amphitheatre of the fallen
Living in Fiordland has granted me the opportunity to pursue adverse and powerful weather events, such as this particular day when over a foot of rain fell in the valleys and fiords – half of Sydneys annual rainfall in one day. The overwhelming sight of the waterfalls in the Cleddau Valley truly moved me to the core, with the sight and sound of hundreds of waterfalls roaring in every direction, rivalled only by the thunderous river that became a junction for all. I felt so small, so humbled and privileged to be in the presence of such beauty and power. I was in the Cleddau River for this shot, in the pouring rain and after a solid half hour of battling the conditions, I managed to get a usable frame.

Aspire
It was mid-winter and I was staying in a private chalet, high up in the alpine wilderness of within the National Park. With no cloud in sight, upon arriving here I was thrilled to discover that the nights crescent moon would later fall behind the majestic Mount Aspiring. I was with my wife and kids who were safely warm in bed. Around midnight, I went outside, with the silence almost as memorable as watching the moon descend to the ridge, bringing darkness to the rest of the landscape. The camera was able to reveal the entire moon, with the glow of the crescent quarter being brightest.

Always hope
Crepuscular rays are a common sight in Fiordland, where steep vertical walls of granite fall dramatically to meet the surface of the sea. Watching this light dance across George Sound was one of the highlights of the year for me. A gentle reminder of how small we are in this grand existence.

As Darkness Becomes Light
In the heart of Fiordland, morning light is cast upon dense cloud high above Lake Manapouri. I’ve had the pleasure of camping in these remote areas over the years, experiences that have impacted me deeply and will continue to fuel my love for capturing the wilderness of New Zealand.

Enthroned
The weather in Patagonia is notorious for moving fast, as it did on this particular afternoon when the wind howled and rain threatened on and off, all before falling eerily calm just before dusk. I decided not to hike much further and took a nap beside this old weathered tree, using it to frame the enigmatic Mt Fitzroy as the light began to paint the sky.

Overcome
Nature abides by no rules in Patagonia. With the fast moving wind, rain, snow and water, the atmosphere is constantly changing and is a humbling experience for anyone exposed to such elements. On this particular morning, I ruled out any chance of light finding a way through the dense cloud but right on sunrise, an opening appeared for a few brief moments an ignited the sky.

Shrouded Gods
This was our third trip to the national park and very reminiscent of our previous treks with scorching summer heat, scratched up legs and some of Australia’s finest mountain and wilderness views. Summiting the Castle and Mt Nibelung on our last visits, we headed further north this time and ascended the ‘Shrouded God’s’ mountain. After a failed attempt on day 1 we ended up admitting defeat and sleeping inside a cave just a few mere vertical metres below the summit. With the protective shade from the cave, we both managed the one of the biggest sleeps we’ve had in years, waking refreshed and determined to make it to the top. We eventually made it up and were welcomed by much grander views than below. The thick scrub still made it difficult to traverse as far east as I would’ve liked so we made it as far as we could and set up camp tucked away in a cosy corner of scrub.The weather fluctuated quite a bit through the next 24 hours and by sunset things moved very fast. Within an hour the sky went from 100% clear to visibility being reduced to just a few feet in front of us. Fortunately it was quite atmospheric and I managed to capture one image I liked just as the last light of day ignited the western face of the iconic Castle.

The Way Home
Looking back across Wineglass Bay toward the granite mountains known as the Hazards. It was quite the experience bush bashing through the thick scrub to reach this vantage point, thankfully the light made a brief appearance right on dawn.

Cradle Mountain
The morning began quite dark with this entire valley a sea of fog. Not long after sunrise the wind changed direction and in less than a minute the entire valley was cleared, revealing the beautiful calm reflections of Dove Lake and iconic face of Cradle Mountain. My friend Zach helped give some scale as he took in what would have to be one of Australia’s finest views.

Valley of solace
One of my oldest images, which has been published in several magazines and also exhibited in the Smithsonian Museum in Washington DC. Experiencing the majesty and grandeur of Yosemite was an experience I won’t ever forget. I endeavoured to capture one image that really summed up my love and respect for this incredible landscape. This is it.
