This little fella flew around my camera and I for over an hour. It’s called a fantail and it’s one of New Zealand smallest bird. It’s very fast and I actually never imagined having such a good shot. Thank pal!

My friend who is a Pilot for Air Safaris in my hometown, Lake Tekapo - New Zealand, asked if I wanted to join her on a flight as she had a spare seat. Of course I could not say no, as surrounding Lake Tekapo are beautiful mountains and stunning scenery!

A long, bumpy dirt road keeps a few perfect islands from being too popular in New Zealand. The neatly forested islands look straight out of fantasy.

The stunningly clear, blue waters of Lake Pukaki greet you as you travel from Tekapo to Twizel. The mountain range beyond the lake connects to Mount Cook, the tallest mountain in New Zealand.

One of the most picturesque locations in New Zealand, Lake Tekapo rests peacefully next to the township of Tekapo. The hill on the other side of the lake is the site of the Mount John observatory, an observatory with almost unparalleled views of the stars in the dark sky reserve above.

That water is really cold, like REALLY cold. Julia is a fantastic model and fantastic friend for doing this shoot for me. St Bathans is a stunning dark blue, lake surrounded by white cliffs, which made for a perfect spot to do a water shoot.

I’ve spent the last 10 months in New Zealand and believe me, the South Island is one of the most craziest thing you will ever see. As we were driving to Mt. Cook (highest summit in NZ) we had to drive along this more than scenic road. First you’ll drive by Lake Pukaki and his blue water coming from the glacier, then every turn, every inch of this road will make you stop and enjoy life as it is. Please, go to New Zealand, you won’t regret it.

The Emyn Muil was an arc of rocky hills that ran southwest along the River Anduin, crossing it at its southern most end. It is remembered because the Ringbearer Frodo Baggins and his companion Samwise Gamgee crossed it’s razor-sharp peaks on their way to Mordor.

Driving through the Lindis Pass in New Zealand is a real treat. The hills are so beautiful,golden and tussock covered and uninhabited, with gorgeous effects of sun and weather. It’s not always easy to find a safe spot to stop for the angle you want to shoot. On this occasion there was a delay for roadworks, allowing a few seconds to grab a shot.

I really like that sharp mountain v. smooth clouds look. I remember thinking that the slope of the clouds almost matched the mountain range when I snapped it.

Dinghy and reflections of Autumn forest. This photo was taken on a calm, peaceful Sunday morning while walking around Blueskin Bay, Waitati (Dunedin, Otago, New Zealand).

After hiking to the well-known Hooker Lake in NZ, you are treated to an equally rewarding view on the return trip. The valley stretches off into the horizon, meeting Lake Pukaki. At only 1.5hrs and on a perfectly groomed trail, this is a hike no one has an excuse not to do.

This is Mt. Cook / Aoraki, the highest summit in New Zealand (+ 3500m) This shot was taken from Kea Point with my big 230mm lens, but it was actually pretty far out !

This image was taken at Hooker lake New Zealand, the image is named black ice because the glaciers beauty is stolen by the lake it sits above, unnoticed.

Hiking in New Zealand really is a treat. Most everyone you meet is just out to enjoy the day and see as many sights as they can. The government has done a great job at supporting this culture and almost all tracks are well marked and in amazing shape. The low population on the South Island means that you may only pass a few other people on a whole day of hiking to a truly stunning place, another bonus if you are seeking solitude!

We woke early to watch the sun tear apart the clouds around Mt Aoraki (Mt Cook), revealing its monolithic self, and the peaks of its surrounding children.
