Mokoroa Falls

These photos have laid hidden deep in the recess of my Lightroom library for over a year. I keep coming back to the fist shot never really sure if I liked it or not.

Auckland Skylines (yes more!)

My daily job photographing real estate see me in a lot of interesting places, often with epic views over the city. Sometimes I'm asked to shoot places at night to make the most of the view (something I love doing). This puts me in a unique situation to get shots over the Auckland skyline that most people would never normally see.

Lower Nihotupu Reservoir

The Lower Nihotupu Reservoir overflowing in the middle of winter as rain falling on the Waitakere Ranges in the distance quickly approaches.

Cornwallis Wharf

These shots of Cornwallis Wharf were taken back in the beginning of August on the same day as the shots I posted nearly a month ago from the Donald McLean lookout.

Hunua Falls

It's been a while since I've been out to shoot a waterfall around Auckland but the other weekend I got out to the Hunua ranges and pointed my camera at the Huna Falls.

Auckland city skyline panorama

This is another panorama I've wanted to capture for some time. However once again the weather and technical gods have let me down.

The View From Hopetoun St Bridge

It's hard to believe that I've lived a five minute walk from this spot since November and Thursday evening was the first time I've taken a shot from the Hopetoun St bridge.

Auckland City from the Shelly Beach Road overpass.

This was shot after an early rise yesterday morning, the morning after the coldest night in Auckland this year, and no, I'm not going to mention the temperature for fear of ridicule from those who actually live in cold climates. But it felt damn cold.

The Metropolis Hotel, Auckland

I've always thought the Metropolis to be one of the nicer looking buildings on the Auckland skyline, particularly when seen from this spot on Bowen Ave.

Muriwai Gannet Colony, minus the Gannets.

It's been a while since I've had a chance to get out and take photos, so I've been left scouring my hard drive looking for shots that I passed over. This image was take last June at the gannet colony at Muriwai, Auckland.

Karekare Beach on a rather unpleasant Evening

Sometimes exciting light at the end (or beginning) of the day happens but more often that not that patchy cloud in the sky that promised so much on the trip out the the west coast turns into a full grey blanket that hides any hint of the sun and its associated colourful sky as it slinks below the horizon.
