A Walk Around Zealandia
I went for a walk around Zealandia with a couple of photography friends.
Bellbird
The tuatara, the saddleback, the robin and more.

Post-processing Software Improvements
I haven’t been out for a couple of weeks due to weather and other commitments. Instead I have been working on updating my Lightroom Collections.
