Aurora Australis in Tauranga - 11th May 2024

Last night was one of the most amazing auroras I've seen and photographed. The timelapse still doesn't do it justice. These 1,287 photos show off the aurora captured from Tauranga, Bay of Plenty.

This 53-second timelapse is from 11th May @ 6:50pm to 12th May @ 1:25am.

AURORA! It's been 4 years since I captured my last Aurora down in Invercargill, NZ. But, it's the first time shooting it from Tauranga in the North Island, NZ! What an awesome night it was out there, stoked! The cloud started rolling in, so went home early but not before capturing some mini beams (look closely)! Thank you, Southern Lights.

It's been nearly two years since my last post... so here goes!

Lake Ohakuri is the largest artificial lake of the Waikato river system in New Zealand. It forms the reservoir for the Ohakuri hydroelectric power station. There is a large amount of geothermal activity in the lake, however about two-thirds of the Orakei Korako geothermal area was drowned when the lake was filled. This included two of the world's largest geysers, Minginui Geyser and Orakei Korako Geyser (a bit of Wikipedia there!).

Featured below is a private property/ campsite on the edge of Lake Ohakuri, which provides endless hours of rest and leisure.

It's been nearly a month since I left the beautiful South Island and moved North. I will miss this incredible place!

Fiordland Crested Penguin/ tawaki - Martins Bay, Fiordland, NZ! It was one of my goals to shoot (photo shoot!) these guys before I left the South Island, NZ! I did it... what an experience to walk the Hollyford Track and see these special penguins at the end. This guy was just sitting on the track as we walked out to Long Reef.

Whakatipu Kā Tuka / Hollyford River. In just over two weeks I get to walk the 56km Hollyford Track. Looking forward to seeing more of this beautiful river and landscape that runs from around the Homer Tunnel to Martins Bay on the West Coast.
