Saturday 9th November was the Annual Steampunk Parade through the small town of Thames. There are a lot of images in this post so I will keep the words short.

This post is all about the images and how I took them when trying to keep up with fast moving birds and the settings I used for each one. All of the images were shot with my Lumix G9 and the Leica 100-400 lens. This lens is my most used and is perfect for photographing

One of the reasons for my recent visit to Kereta was to see the New Zealand dotterels in their full breeding colours. Usually by the time I get there they already have chicks and their colours are already fading. The rangers around the Coromandel Peninsula are very good at putting up signs and fencing off

On our second day in Coromandel, we headed back to Thames township to have a look at an old historic pier. The tide was out, and the water was muddy and while I did take plenty of images at that time, I have chosen to save them for another post. The reason? Because we went
