Steam
A fortress of rock separating the east and west, this chain of mountains in Fiordland is commonly covered in cloud and hammered by relentless winds. So after several attempts, this rare evening was greatly appreciated, as the sun began to set and the mountain summits began to steam in the light.

A Grand Awakening
Early one summers morning, I peered through my tent and was immediately awakened by the sight of this glorious sky. A short walk along the rivers edge, I was led to this meadow of spectacular beauty. You can see the whole video and process over on my Youtube channel.

Within A Dream
In the summer, the lupin flowers bloom in various parts of New Zealand, providing a spectacular splash of colour across the landscape. Although they are a weed, I think the gift of being a photographer is being able to find and appreciate beauty in all things. On this particular morning, I was lost for words, to experience this grand light show and atmosphere, topped off by a rainbow. Something of a dream. You can view the whole shoot over on my youtube channel.
