Downtown Auckland (New Zealand)

Hi !

I guess when you don’t really fall in love with a city, it’s kind of hard to get a nice shot from it. Or this is the way I’m going to forgive myself to come back from a full weekend in Auckland with only this photo.

That been said, it was still a good moment: a few photo exhibitions, great food, lovely girl walking the street (and sadly not paying me attention) and a nice hotel !

I also pay a visit to Devenport, on the other side of the bay… boring (but they told me it wasn’t the best of time).

Please don’t enjoy this one and write bad comment (especially if you are the biggest fan of Auckland).

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.

Enjoy (or not) and stay tuned !

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 !

Dramatic Wellington Harbour (New Zealand)

Hi !

Long time no hear !! I know, I’ve been quite busy doing the boring business thing, but I got a chance to go hiking in the East Harbour Park, nearby Eastbourne, a lovely city on the other side of the Wellington bay.

This is the view you can enjoy from there…

Hope you like it 🙂

Stay tuned !

Rimutaka Rail Trail (New Zealand)

Hi !

So this sunday, enjoying a great sunny day, we (three colleagues and me) on a 20km hike following the Rimutaka Rail Trail. It’s a nice 20km walk, with no particular difficulty, and a bit of adventure, one been the 580m long and pitch dark Summit Tunnel.

It must have been quite an achievement to build a rail road in such a place. Every kilometer or so, a display would highlight a key fact. The rail road is now gone.

Stay tuned !

Kaitoke Regional Park (New Zealand)

Hi !

Here’s a long exposure I quickly shot in the Kaitoke Regional Park, one the nicest piece of bush in the Wellington Region.

The picture is not really terrific, it was raining, and it stopped for only 10 minutes, giving me the chance to only shot one photo. I’ll do better the next time.

The park however is terrific. The bush is very dense, it looks like a rain forest, but with cool temperatures. In this area there’s a very nice track. Later I’ll try the ridge track (about 9 km, 3 hours).

Stay tuned.

Sunrise over Wellington’s industrial side (New Zealand)

Hi !

One of the only advantages of been jet-lagged is that you get the enjoy the things you usually miss while been a lazy guy sleeping all morning through.

So here’s a shot of the industrial harbor of Wellington waking up !

Stay tuned !

Singapore’s skyline

Hi !

The day trip in Singapore is over… And it wasn’t quite the fun I expected: 35°, cloudy, 90% humidity… The city itself is not so interesting, been so new and clean (but that’s great for them, I kinda wanted the Asian mess instead).

So I didn’t fall in love for Singapore… Maybe only of all these gorgeous Asian girls… One thing I appreciated was the free city tour organized at the airport, even though I spent the all tour sleeping, given how tired I was…

I’m about to get to my next flight, direction Auckland. 10h30 minutes of fun in the air, 3h30 of transit, 1h more flying and I can finaly rest.

Oh no, there’s still the customs, the cab, the shopping, and the team meetin… 

See you !
