Stunning sunrise color behind the Waiake Beach Torr on Auckland's North Shore

You can't shoot a decent long exposure in a marina full of boats...or can you. This morning was so calm that I managed to squeeze out this shot t

I love the effect that a 30 second exposure can have on a photograph, especially when you have large thick clouds moving very quickly as in this shot.

Cloud cover catching the setting sun over the converging lines of Okahu Wharf just off Auckland's Tamaki Drive.

A picturesque little stretch of river not far below Kitekite Falls above Piha on Auckland's West Coast.
