Ice Waters
Icy blue waters making their journey from mountains, rivers, lakes and sea.

Hopeful
Many of the worlds beautiful places have been tainted by the hands of man. There are, however, innumerable areas of remaining wilderness where wondrous scenes like this are hidden and exude beauty without having ever been seen. This is what inspires me, knowing there’s so much of this to explore and experience with fresh eyes. After pushing through the thick scrub, hearing the roar of the water getting louder and louder, there’s nothing that will ever compare to that first glimpse.

Sky Dance
An incredible burst of the Aurora Australis, which danced across the sky until dawn. On occasion, the horizontal glow was pierced by strong vertical pillars which shot high up into the stars. This was the strongest of the beams pulses and such a glorious display of the Southern Lights which was enjoyed by many across New Zealand. Check my Youtube channel to see the night and how these images were created.

Heaven Calling
The early hours of the morning, on a glorious night where the Aurora Australis lit up the sky in a strong display dancing lights and vibrant glow. Here, in the silence of night, the Southern Lights reflected in the calm waters, beneath towering mountains and dense rainforest.

Awaken The Glory
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, the mountains finally emerged from their veil of cloud, revealing a grand scene.

Those Who Wander
One of thousands of secret waterfalls which flow in hidden valleys and gorges throughout Fiordland. A fun hike in the wilderness led us to this scene which I discovered on the maps. You can see the making of this image 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.

Only for a brief time of year, the sunrise light floods into this valley and illuminates this fall. Some recent rainfall the night prior helped bring the waters to life for this memorable moment in time.
