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.

As you begin to allow yourself time in nature, you’ll start seeing the world differently and every so often, you’ll come face to face with a sight that will leave a lasting impression, stirring something within. Here is a personal favourite of mine, something of a dream scene that materialised for a few brief minutes and truly is the epitome of what I love and enjoy about the mountains. Single exposure, 400mm perspective.
