A cool looking tree stands in the dunes at Tara Iti golf course.

An alternate view of Carrol Rock (and the surrounding hills) to the one I posted the other day. I used the Air 2S for this one. It’s got a lovely 1inch sensor despite being pretty compact. A great mix.

Another shot (option) from the whisky project. It’s always good to give a decent number of images, some of which you know probably won’t be chosen but might push the thinking of the client a little in ways they didn’t expect. Here is one of those. The texture is important but that’s a story for another day…

Some of you may remember that one of the main reasons I was in Scotland earlier in the year was to work on a project with Diageo/Brora and Sotheby’s. That’s been slowly ticking along in the background with the hero image now chosen that will feature on the bottles and be produced as a large format fine art print… that I can’t share yet but here’s a little image, on a lovely warm June day, from the distillery which was built back in 1819. Diageo have done a great job of sympathetically restoring and maintaining the whole distillery. So impressive to explore.

Progress…

Some of the many amazing little bays around Waiheke Island. Such an awesome little place.

Up, not far from the coast, in northeastern Scotland, this is Carrol Rock. Normally you’d be able to see right out to sea from this vantage point, but it was a day filled with passing storms, so instead you can see one of those in the distance, as the sun burst through in the foreground.
