Throwback Thursday 13/11/14 - The Operahuset

The Operahuset in Oslo Norway. This set was taken back in June 2012 and made the freshly pressed section of Wordpress when I originally posted it to my geoffshootstheworld blog, which was pretty cool.

Throwback Thursday 06/11/14 - The Panic

This photo was taken on the same day as last weeks lion shot. It was our second day on safari and late in the morning. We were unbelievably lucky enough to witness a pride of lions going on a rampage through a heard of wildebeest.

Another Sunset at Muriwai

Another trip to Muriwai, this time for another sunset from a different angle. I think I've mentioned before that Muriwai is one of my favourite places to take photos, as evidenced here and here.

Throwback Thursday 30/10/14 - Portrait of a Lion

I'd spent most of our time in Africa wanting to get a good portrait of a male lion but was never presented with the right opportunity. Turns out I'd already taken a pretty damn good one on only our third day in Africa.

Mt Ruapehu and Tongariro National Park.

The other weekend my wife and I took a wee road trip to Ohakune with some friends. While they spent their waking hours snowboarding I scoped out some locations for pictures with the idea of capturing a panorama of the central plateau for a print I want to make.

Sunset at Muriwai.

Muriwai Beach (specifically the southern end) is fast becoming one of my favourite places to photograph. In fact I've posted photos from here before: "Muriwai Beach and Gannet Colony".

The Auckland City Skyline at dusk.

There may be a rule that states you can't be a photographer in Auckland without at least one image of the cities skyline at night so I though I'd better give one of my own a go.
