This is an image I’ve been pretty excited about posting, however I ended up re-processing it several times to get the panorama to stitch just how I wanted. I’m really pleased with the end result and may have to hang […]

Last night I carried out an astro shoot I’ve had in my planner for over a year. The last cloudless and moonless night I’ll be seeing in the north island for some time. For those who don’t yet know, I’ll […]
I think I’ll consider this my new flagship image. An astro-pano-selfie, taken early last Friday morning on the rocky shore of lake Tekapo. What a stunner of a night it turned out to be! This image consists of 9 frames […]

Finally got the biggie! One I’ve had in the back of my mind for ages! I made a late night visit to the Muriwai Gannett colony lookout last night to capture the milkyway arch before it dipped below the horizon. […]
