The Moeraki Boulders are unusually large and spherical boulders lying along a stretch of beach on the Otago coast of New Zealand between Moeraki and Hampden. They occur scattered either as isolated or clusters of boulders within a stretch of beach where they have been protected in a scientific reserve. The erosion by wave action frequently exposes embedded isolated boulders. These boulders are septarian concretions, which have been exhumed from the mudstone enclosing them.

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

Just after sunrise the sun disappeared behind cloud cover, creating beautiful muted tones and silhouetting a solo craggy tree. In the distance tiny sh

Here’s a shot I’ve been wanting to get for a while and I’ve had a few attempts but each time there’s been an obstacle.

A little bit of long exposure treatment looking out to Rangitoto Island across the Hauraki Gulf with a touch of natural wood framing.

Sky drama created by a 30 second exposure and reflected in a perfect glassy rock pool.

This sunrise was shot on Monday 7th January 2019, my first one for the year. So not only was this a very special start to the week but it was a magic

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

It's amazing how a little mist can completely change the feel of a photograph. I love the 'Lord of the Rings' feel to this one.
