Year of the Aurora 🌌 During 2024 I was able to see and photography more solar storms than any year before, stunning events that I was lucky to see so much by eye and with friends

Roll #9 on UltraMax 400, started shooting nearly a year ago and it's followed me from the highest road in the country to the lowest road of Westland 🗺️

It's easy to forget how much can happen in a year's time, all the places I've been and people I've met.

Roll #10 has been sitting quietly in my travels, will be fascinating to develop potentially in another year and revisit where I've taken it 🎞️

A once in a lifetime flight with Way To Go Heliservices from Rangiora all the way to the Mataketake Range and back up the West Coast to Mt Treacey 🏞️

Once again working with Department of Conservation for Skydio drone use over conservation land to complete a number of radio site surveys

An incredible day in the air with Jono and the team

Was extremely lucky to have the opportunity to fly high above Fiordland with Southern Lakes Helicopters completing a number of drone surveys with Programmed 🚁

It was great working along side the Department of Conservation to coordinate the drone operations in an incredible part of the country and make use of the technology Skydio has made possible

Only a few days later I was back in the air doing a stretch right along with West Coast, photos from that trip to follow soon!

Andrew and everyone at Southern Lakes Helicopters was fantastic with helping schedule this trip in amongst the winter weather and get me everywhere I needed to go with incredible knowledge of the area 🏔️

Looking forward to sharing some more photos I took during the trip while out and about in Fiordland doing some drone survey work 🚁

Big thanks to Patrick McAllister Photography for capturing this fantastic shot of Pilot Andrew 'Heff' alongside ZK-IBR!

Heff recently celebrated his 10th season flying for us in Antarctica. His wealth of knowledge, experience, and boundless enthusiasm shine through in everything he does. Thanks a lot, Heff!

From Skippers Canyon to Mt Sunday, started this roll of film early last year and it lasted right through to September 🎞️

Went to some incredible places during 2023 and my camera followed me along. Turned into a case of 4 cameras per photo - Digital, Film, Drone and Phone 📷 🎞️ 📱 🚁

Current roll of film has seen less use than last, but only make the develop even more special. Enjoying using UltraMax 400 again
