My second shot from the Cave Stream exit, created hand held with great patience and the assistance of a lot of stabilisation from the camera.

Exciting times now that I have these, should make a big difference to what I can produce, especially living by the ocean!

An evening shooting at Cave Stream in Castle Hill, NZ. I was astounded to find this ice at the end of the day, even after spending all day in the sun. Check again in a few days for another shot I managed from this amazing area. Unfortunately the image has been cropped a bit by Instagram. • • • • • #newzealand #nz #christchurch #river #cave #bridge #caves #nzmustdo #destinationnz #cavern #purenewzealand #water #newzealandvacations #newzealandguide #newzealandfinds #auckland #outdoors #hiking #forest #kiwi_photos #capturenz #boat #kiwipics #waterfall #riverside #discover_newzealand #ig_newzealand #realmiddleearth #река #gottalovenz (at Castle Hill, New Zealand)

Kea (Nestor notabilis) are considered amongst the smartest birds in the world, along with being the only alpine parrot, but this one was just a jerk, mostly scratching my car and trying to steal the rubber window trim (which they're notorious for doing). • • • • • #alpine #newzealand #bird #alps #nz #birdsofinstagram #nzmustdo #birds #glacier #destinationnz #purenewzealand #parrot #newzealandvacations #birdstagram #newzealandguide #newzealandfinds #auckland #birdwatching #kiwi_photos #instabird #capturenz #kiwipics #discover_newzealand #ig_newzealand #realmiddleearth #birdphotography #birding #instabirds #gottalovenz #cockatiel (at Arthur's Pass)

Looking back down towards Hokitika Gorge Swing Bridge. Unfortunately the next time I came here it had been raining and the entire river was a grey muddy mess rather than these magnificent blue colours. • • • • • #sunrise #skyporn #sony #newzealand #river #sonyalpha #nz #morning #bridge #cloudporn #nzmustdo #water #skylovers #destinationnz #purenewzealand #trees #sonyimages #tree #newzealandvacations #landscape_lovers #forest #newzealandguide #sunshine #landscapephotography #newzealandfinds #auckland #sonya6000 #day #instasky #playstation (at Hokitika Gorge)

I wish I could tell you a lot more about this photo other than it was taken on a small beach somewhere on the West Coast of New Zealand. Taken as I was driving towards Pancake Rocks/Punakaike from Charleston, a tiny rest stop on the side of the road with a picnic table to give it away. • • • • • #ocean #water #lake #sand #sunrise #waves #portraitphotography #skyporn #cloudporn #portraits #portraiture #trees #river #portraitpage #portraitmood #reflection #wave #landscape_lovers #makeportraits #landscapephotography #skylovers #boat #sunsetlovers #ポートレート #beachlife #sunsets #fish #portrait_perfection #portrait_shots #waterfall (at West Coast, New Zealand)

Another from Karekare Beach near Auckland. An amazing area like the rest of the west coast of New Zealand known for it's black sands and amazing surf.

Look at that face! Marc Daniels Kaplan getting way too into his trad climbing on the classic 'Big Corner' (14) in Wanaka. It was an epic day out climbing with this guy and stoked to have caught him in the action like this.
