The Auckland City Skyline – some photos from the other night…
When i’m not photographing portraits out here in New Zealand – i’m exploring the coastline, shooting sunrises with the Nikon D800. So far the camera has been performing flawlessly. The detail from the 36 megapixel sensor is quite incredible. I was interested to see how it would perform at night also with city lights and [...]
Hey New Zealand – See ya for a few photos in a couple weeks…
Pretty cool that it’ll be the first time we head back home to New Zealand as a family. The reality of it all is starting to kick in – and it’s going to be a pretty friggin cool couple of months! Having two whole months off any kind of work is likely to drive me [...]
A Photo from New Zealand…
Think i’m over the jet-lag now, so with a bit of luck the blog will start to roll again. Here’s one of my favourite shots from my recent trip back home to New Zealand. Taken at sunrise on a beach north of where I grew up – I guess it’s the subtle moody tones of [...]

HOT models night at Chaya…
Hmmmmmmmm scorchin’ even… let’s not beat around the bush… The inaugural “red carpet” event took place on Thursday “slap bang” in the action district of Liverpool. Many pretty people adorned both the bar and the cat walk for an evening of ‘decadence delirium’ sure to please any self-respecting young, hip, wannabe “be-seen-type” individual. The best [...]

2008 – ummm where did it go?
Another year snuck by… but I have to say 2008 has been a bit of a corker (Antipodean expression for bloody good!) Even though i’m a bit slow on the uptake, writing my 2008-retrospective blog in early Jan… but hey… i’ve been hangin in North Wales in a farm house in the middle of nowhere… [...]
A ramble round North Wales…
Jack Frost has come out to play in this recent series of photographs taken in North Wales. The first few are from Llyn Gwynant in Snowdonia. It was around 3pm and we knew we’d have to make the ‘ramble’ rather brisk to make it round the lake before dark. The second set are taken around [...]

Stock Photography Online…
www.123fr.com – This is one of the few stock photography agencies I submit to online. They’re actually, probably my worst seller… but with stock photography often it’s a case of quantity as well as quality. If you have a comprehensive portfolio – you can be a “one-stop-shop” for potential buyers… so I make enough money [...]
Today’s Landscape Photo…
Comes from the south coast of Mallorca at 6am. I wandered gingerly round the rocks using my mobile phone as a flashlight. It was a cold, stormy morning. No warm postcard sunrises to be had today. I set up the tripod, got out the trusty wide angle lens and tried to find a stable position [...]

It’s always a challenge [...]
The Hammer goes down in Speke
