I was recently browsing through Andrew J. Steel’s Instagram. He’s an amazing kiwi artist! One day I’ll have him do a wall in the studio (when it’s complete!) similar to this – but with cameras! He said he had visited a place called Gibbs Farm. I had to look this place up. WOAH! How have I never heard about this place?? Located about 60 km north of Auckland lies a massive property… Read more »

Long Exposure Photos from the International Space Station (ISS)
Long have I been a fan of long-exposure photography (leaving the shutter open for a long length of time). Well the ISS crew just blew every previous long-exposure shot out the water!
Some of the best photos you’ll ever see of New Zealand
Fellow photographer Johan Lolos spent most of 2015 in New Zealand. What he discovered and captured is nothing short of amazing! New Zealand changed me forever. It is there that I started my career as a full-time photographer, it is there that I discovered my passion for the outdoors and mountains, and it is there that I lived for 7 months in the most relaxing place on Earth: Wanaka. Now I have some… Read more »
Use WordPress? Use Buffer? You need this simple random hack!
If like me you use Wordpress for your website (most people do these days!) you might have 100’s of pages of great content. Buffer is an AWESOME new tool that lets you create a social buffer of content that gets posted to your social networks at specific times.

Spoilt by nature
I feel too often we are spoilt, living in one of the most beautiful countries in the world, we sure do take a lot for granted. With the speed & pace of the world racing ahead, social distractions are all around us. Sometimes all your day needs is a moment to stop, breath, and admire something familiar to you so much that it becomes unfamiliar like you’ve just noticed it for the first time. I… Read more »
Bush Walk up Cannon Point
A few months ago now, fellow photographer Paul Roche asked me if I’d like to accompany him on a walk up Cannon Point Walkway in Upper Hutt. Sadly the view from the top was dampened by the low cloud & rain, but still had some nice spots on the 1.5hr walk up. And glow worms on the way back down.

They regularly get pro photographers on the show, give them the worst cameras in the world and see what magic they can work. Mixing things up this time by using a filmmaker was hard enough, but giving Philip a Barbie Camera that doesn’t even shoot standard definition was always going to be a… Read more »
