Our water taxi was booked to take us from the beach at Kaiteriteri at 8:30am, or so we thought. Turns out the time on the ticket was incorrect and pick-ups don’t start till 9am in the off season, thanks for telling us and advertising the wrong details Aqua Taxi. It was a lovely morning and […]
South Island: Picton to Kaiteriteri
Keryn’s parents recently celebrated their 40th Wedding Anniversary and we helped them mark the occasion with a 10 day road trip around the top of the South Island. A smooth ferry crossing saw us disembarking at Picton and starting our journey towards Kaiteriteri after a bakery stop in town for some lunch. We were planning […]
Before the rush
Keryn’s parents are here to celebrate their 40th Wedding anniversary and Travis and Sophie came down as well so we’ve had a busy few days. Zealandia was open for free to Wellington residents and I’ve heard it was crazy busy on Saturday (today has been strong winds and a bit of rain, so maybe wasn’t […]
Entered, almost
I’ve pretty much run out of time to take more photos for the Photo5 competition so I’ve uploaded four of my five entries. You can see the entries by clicking on the Photo5 image below. The one photo I haven’t uploaded is for the Inspired by Sound category. I want to enter the following photo […]
Plimmerton Station re-opening
We’ve been getting monthly newsletters in the mail from the Plimmerton residents association (which reminds me, we should really pay our sub, I suspect out landlady paid previously) and one of the news items each month has been about the refurbishment of Plimmerton Station. Largely performed through volunteer work the day came for the grand […]
WWA Freewave round 2
The Wellington Windsurfing Association had their 2nd freewave event today in Plimmerton and we went down for a half hour or so to watch the action. Compared to the last time there was a lot more jumping going on, but it wasn’t a competition previously. It was also easier to spot the wind surfers intentions […]
On the waterfront
Thursday evening I joined up with some other photographers for a walk along the Wellington waterfront. We walked from Shed 11 to Frank Kitts park taking photos of anything and everything, though none of us were keen enough to brave taking photos of the emo crowd queuing for the nights Paramore concert outside the TSB […]
When it’s good…
Such a beautiful sunset last night, who would want to be anywhere else? The Plimmerton beach on a calm, warm spring night is the place to be. Photo by Brendon & Keryn Sunset over Mana Island. Photo by Brendon & Keryn Russet tones over the top of the South Island (it looks like an island, […]
Photo5 2010: Confetti in motion
A lovely morning with light wind had me out on the deck shooting another idea, this time for the Confetti in Motion category. It took a lot of tries to get decent confetti action, not so easy without an assistant to let the confetti fly, hold out my hand and fire the camera. In the […]
Morning in the hide
Tuesday morning I went down to the Pauatahanui Wildlife Reserve to see what was visible from the bird watching hides. Spring is very much in the air with a mixture of territorial aggression and procreation visible in the behaviour of the bird life. Photo by Brendon & Keryn It’s that time of year again for […]
Happy Birthday Keira
My niece Keira is 4 today, happy birthday! Keira, lover of all things pink, casting a pinkness spell to make the world into her pink domain 🙂
Lets go surfing now
Finished at Zealandia I met Keryn for lunch and as went in to the city to get food and a birthday present. This being successful Keryn was back to work and I took a drive to Lyall Bay on the off chance that there might be some surfers to photograph. It was a good bet, […]
