Next week is my next NZ photography workshop. Can’t wait to head out with a bunch of other photographers and take in the New Zealand autumn colours!

Japanese Immersion

Thinking about going to live in Japan for a while and getting really immersed in their culture and way of life.

A Random Fisheye
Daily Photo – A Random Fisheye
I was looking for a totally different shot to share today and stumbled across this one and it really appealed to me, so I’m sharing that instead. A Nikon D800+Fisheye lens from a helicopter. Not so flat earth!

The D800
Daily Photo – The D800
Next up in my camera reminiscing, the totally awesome D800. This is probably just about where DSLRs hit their peak in my opinion and just before the Sony would shake things up. Also, this is a rare shot of Cleveland for me. I think I’ve only ever published 2! I should go back and grab some more sometime. (This one was taken on a D800 i had borrowed to try, before buying.)

Flickr no.1
Daily Photo – Flickr no.1
Here’s my most viewed image on Flickr from those posted in 2023. I don’t remember the original post of this image doing anything out of the ordinary but on the re-share, which I think I did because I was working on a project that used this image at the time, it took off.

Number 8
Daily Photo – Number 8
I thought it’d be fun to go through what turned out to be my top content on social media for the year and that continues today. Mainly I’ll focus on Instagram but I’ll drop in a few others towards the end as when they get traction (e.g. Flickr) the stats go crazy. So, here’s number 8 in my most viewed posts of 2023… does that make them the BEST? Not so sure, but for whatever reason they connected with people, or the algorithm!

Contrasting Hills
Daily Photo – Contrasting Hills
New Zealand’s landscape always fascinates me, and one particular reason is areas like this where there are some crazy contrasts of soft hills right alongside harsh, jagged mountains.

On the way to Mount Cook/Aoraki
Daily Photo – On the way to Mount Cook/Aoraki
This a shot I got on the way to Mount Cook/Aoraki. It’s about a 4 hour drive from my home, but there are literally a million places you can take photos. Actually, there are millions of millions I suppose… As you approach Mount Cook, there are just endless openings like this where you can hike around. I’ve walked out here for ages upon ages and never even seen another human being. It’s wild how unpopulated the South Island of New Zealand is.

The Cook Expansion
Daily Photo – The Cook Expansion
I mentioned the upcoming NZ photography workshop in yesterday’s post. One thing I’m thinking about for this one is heading out a little wider, away from Queenstown where we spend most of the time usually, to areas like Mount Cook / Aoraki and Lake Tekapo. Should make for some awesome mini adventures. You can see more about the workshop here. (Only a couple of places remain.)
