I am still visiting the riflemen as often as I can because I know that eventually the opportunity will be gone. I love this time of year for Nature – there are so many young birds around, we are spoilt for choice! When we arrived at the nest site yesterday we had to be quick […]

I have been back to the riflemen a few times now and am totally obsessed with them. They are so tiny and so fast! I used to think kingfishers were quick but they have nothing on these little guys. They arrive without you noticing and after seeing them if you blink they are gone. When

Bird photography is made up of more than just skill with a camera, sometimes it is just knowing where to find the birds and when is the best time to be there. In New Zealand we have a huge network of bird photographers online and it is thanks to this that today I had one

Last Sunday a fellow photographer and myself headed out with our cameras. Our wanderings took us to Waikanae where we found something very special.

Today we have a selection of images from Zealandia. This was the first time I had used the camera after the firmware upgrade and I was keen to see if there would be any improvement in the auto-focus. I am happy to day that I found using AFC much better with the birds than in

My cousin also has a Lumix G9 and whenever we get the opportunity, we get together so I can teach her one new thing about her camera. By restricting it to one feature at a time, she finds it easier to remember and practice before moving to something else. This trip long exposure was the

I travel to Auckland and back a lot these days and when there is time I like to call in to Butterfly Creek. I have been there a lot and have noticed a lot of changes over the years. This time I was pleased to note that many of the plastic plants have been replaced

Ever since I moved to the Wellington Region, I have wanted to go to Kapiti Island. I am not sure why it has taken nearly 23 years to do it, but thanks to a Hutt Camera Club field trip, I finally got there. Of course now I wish I had gone earlier and often! Everywhere
