Sunday around Auckland was pretty dire weather-wise, so I have dug into some past shots for view of Auckland. Both shots are taken form North Head, looking over Devonport toward the Auckland CBD. Obviously they were taken at night time. This meant along the way I startled the odd hedgehog, who wasn’t expecting pedestrians this time of night. I had … Read More

A Sunday seascape that’s actually on Sunday… It’s dusk, the sun has set. I’m at North Head looking across the channel towards Rangitoto Island. It’s a 2 minute exposure just to get enough light to get exposure. This has blurred the waves and white crests around the rocks. Click for original image … Read More

It’s a long weekend, so I can appreciate things get a bit quiet. The shot below is of the Waitemata Harbour and the Auckland skyline. I guess it should probably be counted as a cityscape more than a seascape. Anyway, this was the lost shot of an evening spent on North Head. I’d already packed up my gear and was … Read More

This shot was taken at Waiake, one of the most picturesque small bays on the Hauraki Gulf. The Tor is fully exposed at low tide. I stopped by on a commute to work and took a few shots with the Sony a7R. It helps that I keep a tripod almost permanently in the boot of the car. I am finding … Read More

The weekend hike was a bit further north. I went up to Okura, and hiked to Dacre Cottage. I did it the slightly harder way, with camera gear and a tripod. And yes, there were times I envied the lighter equipped walkers over the hilly bits. There were two sites of interest. One was the Okura Estuary. The seascape shot … Read More

Technically I did take this shot on Sunday, even if it has taken a few days to post. As everyone knows, the weather in Auckland on the weekend got very wet. I braved a trip down to Long Bay anyway. Partly just to get outside. In between showers, I got this shot of waves hitting the rocks at Granny’s Bay. … Read More

This is another shot taken at Waiakae Beach, possibly the most picturesque beach along the East Coast Bays. The Tor and surrounding rocks generate many points of interest. A lee little-stopper was used to slow the shutter and create the blurring on the water. Click for original Photo taken with Sony a900 and Minolta 17-35mm f3.5 G lens. Read More

I’m feeling a bit more settled back in New Zealand. So, I’ve actually managed to take some photos of late. I don’t think I’ve had the chance really, since November. I’ve really been spending far too much time in airplanes or airports in 2015. One thing I’ve been trying to do with this blog, is just post a seascape photo … Read More

This is an early morning photo taken at Waiake Beach, on the Hauraki Gulf. It’s one of the nicest beaches on the East Coast Bays. A good morning on the Hauraki Gulf is a very special moment.

This scene is from Browns Bay. I like to find areas where there is something interesting in the foreground, and in this case, the rocks and pools drew me to this position. Rangitoto is always a good element to have on the horizon. Despite the grey skies, there was enough going on in the sky to make the shot worth … Read More
