The April Maze are an Australian band who will be in Wellington next February, apparently they’ve been here before and played some songs in a cable car. I hope they do it again 😉 For tour dates and info on tour mate Faye Blais click the link.
One Saturday
Saturday was another in a long line of sunny, warm days to have hit Wellington so we got outside and spent a few hours walking around at Zealandia. We got to see lots of wildlife, Keryn say the falcons for the first time and we managed to get dive bombed by the feisty male, even […]
Karearea
As mentioned on twitter a while back I’ve become addicted to watching the Karearea (NZ Falcons) at Zealandia. The breeding pair have one chick this year and it has recently fledged. I was lucky enough to stumble upon the chosen resting spot earlier this week and got some good photos. I’m also lucky enough not […]
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 […]
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 […]
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, […]
Back following birds
The weather has been very nice for a few days now and on Monday I spent a few hours back at Zealandia taking photos and enjoying the walk through the forest. The usual suspects were seen and photographed, here are a few photos. Photo by Brendon & Keryn A saddleback having just found a tasty […]
Volunteering
On Thursday I visited Zealandia to meet Al Dicks the marketing manager. My Uncle Steve had suggested to Al that I might be able to help out with some of the IT stuff required to market Zealandia, specifically help with editing and uploading videos to their YouTube channel. Al is a busy man and in […]
Dave
Last night we attended the 2010 Acoustic Church Tour in Wellington. This year Dave Dobbyn headlined with support from Christchurch band Dukes. As last year we were joined by Lydia and Will and had a good night, starting with getting a park right out front of the venue and taking in a last minute dinner […]
Recently
Spring is in the air, there is lots or rain and wind about. Photography has taken a back seat recently, coinciding with one of my lenses being sent up to Auckland for repair after the auto focus motor failed. It was an expensive fix, but much cheaper than buying a new lens. Naturally, back seat […]
Been there before?
The other day there was another interesting sunset over the Pauatahanui inlet and I managed to drag myself up from the chair in the lounge to take a couple of photos. Photo by Brendon & Keryn The setting sun lights up the clouds and hills over the Pauatahanui inlet Having been out to Sinclair Head […]
Mary Victoria & The Weta Cave
Saturday afternoon we headed to the Weta Cave in Miramar. There were three reasons for a visit. We had a Lord of the Rings statue to pick up (more on that later), there was the recent change of displays at the Cave to look over and we timed the visit (I say we, it’s more […]
