sheeps of New Zealand

Hi !

Here’s a funny shot I took during my first trip to New Zealand. We were walking by the hills of Belmont Regional Park, my first peak in Kiwi’s spectacular landscape, and while crossing a lot of farmland, we were kinda scaring the shit out all sheeps we were meeting. These four ones were escaping and stopping looking back at us, to see if they are still out of arms ways. And they just aligned perfectly for a nice shot.

Enjoy (or not) and stay tuned !

Owhiro Bay from Belmon Regional Park (New Zealand)

Hi !

This photo concludes quite a sportive weekend: a 15km walk in the Belmont Regional Park on Saturday, some mountain bike in the Makara Park on Sunday. So to finish this weekend with style, I went to the Owhiro Bay, near the start of the Red Rocks Walkway, to shoot the sunset.

Enjoy (or not) and stay tuned.

Belmont Regional Park (New Zealand)

Hi !

Second hike in the Belmont Regional Park today, and it was awesome ! Beautiful sunny weather (apparently unusual for a traditional July), even warm, so I got a chance to capture this view of the park.

Enjoy (or not) and stay tuned !

Sunset over the Tasman See (New Zealand)

Hi !

Beautiful scenery yesterday when the sunset started. I had to drop some colleagues at Wellington airport (WLG), and then looked at the Tasman see and the South Island mountains turning pink.

Enjoy (or not) and stay tuned !

Mont Holdsworth (New Zealand)

Hi !

For the unfit of us, when you climbed something like a 1470m high pick, you want to say out loud: we knocked the bastard off ! Of course I’m just stealing the words of Sir Edmund Percival Hillary, who did something quite more significant than us, when he was the first climber to get on top of the Mount Everest. But believe me, when you are on a consultant diet (pizza, burger, pizza, burger), Mount Holdsworth is not that insignificant.

Here’s a shot taken on the top.

Point Haswell Lighthouse (New Zealand)

Hi !

Here’s a long exposure Point Haswell Lighthouse taken on the side of the Massey Road. Nothing really special, I agree.

Enjoy (or not) and stay tuned.

Muritai Road (New Zealand)

Hi !

Wanting to explore more about the infrared photos, I got to process this one. I shot it last week, while walking along the Muritai Road, going to Pencarrow Old Lighthouse.

Dramatic South Island (New Zealand)

Hi !

I know it probably means nothing to you, but I wanted to share with you my first black & white photography made from an infrared shot of the South Island (of New Zealand). There’s just a touch of split toning, to bring some atmosphere.

I hope you enjoy !

Stay tuned !

Pencarrow (New Zealand)

Hi !

What a hell of a bloody sunny weekend ! After a great long walk (23km) Saturday, I went for a short one (5km) on Sunday. This time I pretty much stayed in the same area (Pencarrow), where one may enjoy on a crystal clear day the stunning view on the South Island mountains (quite snowy at this moment of the year).

I hope you enjoy !

Stay tuned !
