Sitting by the lake enjoying an unforgettable view, I was surprised that within 5 hours I only crossed paths with a handful of people. It’s nice to get out and enjoy the rawness of NZ and feel like you’re the only one out there.

Not long after this shot was taken I looked up to see a person stable a shore with a board in 2 pieces, the tiniest waves can seem so unpredictable. (at Byron Bay, New South Wales) https://www.instagram.com/p/BsbWaw3BUvB/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=17ia6z5silm

Best time of the day to be out in the water. Everyone has gone home and having the moment to yourself to enjoy this sunset. (at Byron Bay, New South Wales) https://www.instagram.com/p/BrKQ-0pBuM3/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=vgwwo8ei8ruj

Amazed by the turquoise colors gracing the sky’s above Byron during the recent storm. Not long after this shot it required some running to find shelter with my camera hidden under a jacket.

Chasing images of mountains this afternoon, Parked up inside trying to escape the humidity. I look through old images of New Zealand to inspire the next trip home in a few weeks. (at New Zealand) https://www.instagram.com/p/BqTkb9cBprY/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=ytk146qasutb

I get extremely nervous before a flight regardless off the size of the aircraft but there’s always one reward once you’ve settled in. Looking out the window to see the Southern Alps is something I could do daily. (at New Zealand) https://www.instagram.com/p/BqLGspThSAR/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=5op7qptcj4hi

Craving that adventure to a cold environment! Flashback to winter in New Zealand. (at Skyline Queenstown) https://www.instagram.com/p/BqGCYEJB-V_/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1c3rhlefe6qux

Forget the pool, an evening padding around the pond watching the sunset is much more relaxing. (at Byron Bay, New South Wales) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bpvxw4KBrZW/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1km5c8wb0d4ed

Lately it’s been a struggle to find time to get outside with the camera and find new spots to explore. Over the last few days I’ve been looking closer to home, places forgotten & are only a few minutes drive.

I always find the ocean so calming after the passing of a spring thunderstorm. Armed with a roll of Porta 800 film & a borrowed Nikonos V I made a b line for the water. The color the sky produces after the rain is memorizing to say the least. @caitmiersphotography @joyce_magazine @uandilabel @sa_rips @amberandfriends_photography #uandiaftertherain (at Byron Bay, New South Wales) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bph3IQ8hxpc/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=p0o2cdi8wjo

Morning glow over Tallows Beach, it’s nice to live so close to these amazing beaches. All I need now is to spend equally as much time in the mountains. (at Tallow Beach - Byron Bay) https://www.instagram.com/p/BpdzwWAhV33/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=fidxsjo29i7d

There’s so many great lookout points across Byron but there’s something about this spot, which ever way you turn there’s something to catch the eye. (at Byron Bay, New South Wales) https://www.instagram.com/p/BpTnmaznXJU/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1k996oqi8r6rv

Exploring The technique #50andstitch over the past weekend. 9 photos stitched together shot with a 70-200. A great way to capture a wide scene when you only have a tele lens. Thanks @finn https://www.instagram.com/p/BpP5jVMDKC-/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=p9gm6hqval7q

Paddling out at first light, the best time of day to get waves all to yourself. (at The Pass) https://www.instagram.com/p/BpLz6yqnjFX/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1v1u71tp8cv7t
