Hi All,
Hope you are all enjoying a great Winter! We have had several snow dumps...1 every week since the beginning of July! and it has be great just to walk around with the camera....taking probably too many photos!
One of my favourite views of the Church now....probably cause it is too far away to see the crowds that regularly surround it.
Anyway enjoy the rest of Winter and if you have snow, get out in it and enjoy! :D

Hi all,
I have been a little busy and distracted over the last few weeks/months trying to organise a flight/proposal/holiday....
On the 9th of April we were privileged to get a flight with Mt Cook Ski Planes up on to the Tasman Glacier.....Been trying to get up there for a while, but the weather was just not allowing us! Anyway this photo is the main reason I wanted to get up on the flight...so on the 9th of April Annemieke and I got engaged on the top of the Tasman Glacier!

It is an amazing flight and I certainly can recommend the flight to anyone looking to get up into the heart of the Mt Cook National Park!

I would like to Thank the guys at the Ski Planes for helping to make this day a special day that we will never forget!!! :D

We were fortunate enough the other night to be on the Tekapo Stargazing tour a couple of nights ago when the Aurora made a surprise appearance!
It was so strong that everyone could see the huge glow and beams in the sky. We quickly raced home to get our cameras and tripods and captured some amazing shots from the Tekapo Springs of one of the best Auroras we have had for a long time! :)
Hoping for more to come over the next few months as Winter kicks in and the daylight hours decrease ;)

Finally got this one together after a bit of work.
I have wanted to get a good Aurora pano at this location for a while.
We were out just helping a friend catch his first Aurora photos. Unfortunately his battery was going flat and he left us. The aurora was just slight colours right up until he left then it did this for us! :D
Another amazing night under the stars! :D

We got out the other night to chase the Aurora. I have wanted to get a good Aurora over this small lake for quite a while now. We had the perfect opportunity on the 2nd March as the Aurora became active and the lake was perfectly still for reflections!
While out shooting I looked through this power pole and thought the silhouette would make a good pano against the night sky with the Aurora through it! :)
I will be working on a much larger pano over the lake and will try to get this one together as soon as my computer and time allows.
Enjoy! :D
