Lake Wairarapa is situated in the southern part of the North Island, New Zealand. It is home to many species of birds. Many more stop for a visit, on their way to somewhere else. If you get up early enough, amazing sunrises can be seen.
Relaxing at the park, this duck I think, thought my leg made a great perch.
When I first started out, the one photographer who inspired me the most, was and still is, National Geographic photographer, Jason Edwards. Apart from the great work he does, I always remember the advice he gave, on one of his shows. As much as possible, get it right in the camera, don’t over process your images and don’t spend too much time processing them. (not exactly word for word, its been a while).

I have to say, I am hooked on barbed wire, it has a lot of character and can help create some stunning photos, especially on a frosty morning. Click on Hooked on Barbed Wire to view more photos.

I used to randomly take photos with my point and shoot, then I discovered the insect world, I found them fascinating and became hooked on photography. I purchased my 1st DSLR in 2013 and the rest you could say, is history..

New photos added to B&W and NZ Fur Seals pages.
Comfy Spot
Fur Seals and Sea Lions are different from other seals because they have external ear flaps and hind flippers which rotate forward, which in turn, allows them to move very quickly on land and yes, they will give you a run for your money, so it pays to be situationally aware. To see more photos visit New Zealand Fur Seal. New photos added regularly.
