Compact Captures
Daily Photo – Compact Captures
I was reading about that new Sony a7CR, compact full frame model. It reminds me a lot of the old NEX-7. I had some awesome adventures with that, it never let me down (e.g. the image below). So I can only imagine the full frame equivalent being fantastic… maybe it’s time to step away from the standard R series… hmmm…

The Shapes and Textures of Wakatipu

Sometimes you spend ages finding a shot and sometimes things just align as if they were always meant to be that way…

Unexploring Auckland

Next up on the 3 day trek home… Auckland. Which reminds me that I really need to go there and spend a good week or so exploring. I’m there often but 99% of the time it’s basically a hub to use for exit/entry to NZ. So this is about the only image I’ve processed from there. That needs to change!

Spring Mountains

Choppy landed here by this remote lake for a bit while I jumped out to take photos. It was so fun, and I felt lucky there was a bit of snow up high to give some more colors to the scene.

The Wolf Howling at the Sunset Sky
Daily Photo – The Wolf Howling at the Sunset Sky
The shapes in Monument Valley are right out of all the westerns you watched when you were a kid. So, when I was there for the first time it was a bit surreal. Now, I know many reading will have been there several times and they are experts at this area… but it was all fresh and new to me! As long as there are good clouds, I think it is relatively easy to get a good shot here! Sort of a lay-up, I think! Some photos you have to work really really hard for… and those are fine… but I also like a few of these that make themselves a bit easier.

Crossing Monkey Creek
Daily Photo – Crossing Monkey Creek
As you drive into Milford Sound/Piopiotahi, you may well decide that the drive itself is better than the destination. And that’s saying a lot, believe me!
I think one of the best unofficial hikes is right around Monkey Creek here. It’s certainly worth parking your car and spending a few hours walking around the area. Even without your camera, it’s still a feast for the eyes.

Morning Hobbit Holes

Here’s another one of the images from my 1000 Stories from 1000 Places NFT drop. It sold out in minutes, but they are now available to trade on OpenSea and X2Y2, etc so be sure to check them out.
Oh how I wish I could live in a Hobbit hole!
I have about 10 acres on the land where I live, and I’m thinking about building a series of Hobbit holes for my friends. They can be all interconnected with secret tunnels and stuff. I know it sounds geeky, but I would totally move out there with them… eat two breakfasts a day… shave one another’s feet… this sort of thing.

Sailing on Lake Wakatipu
Daily Photo – Sailing on Lake Wakatipu
The car trip started here in Kingston on Lake Wakatipu. It was a perfect spring day, and there was a lone sailboat down on the lake. Everything is on such a big scale here, maybe you can get a sense of the overall size of the lake from the tiny sailboat on there… it looks like a toy!
