Wild About Photography

As a boy I grew up in a rural environment, surrounded by animals.

As a young man I was an avid hunter, exploring the mountains, rivers, lakes & dense native bush of New Zealand. These days my hunting equipment has changed considerably. It now only consists of a still camera & powerful telephoto lens & my hunting days are long gone!

From my many years of experience, tracking & observing wild animals, I have built up a deep appreciation for wildlife and their surroundings, in all their raw beauty.

To stalk in silently on a wild creature & observe it completely undisturbed in its natural environment is a thrilling experience.

In wildlife photography patience is definitely your main virtue. Sometimes stalking in close enough to photograph a wild animal may last for hours, then with one tiny blink of the shutter the animal is gone, yet at the same time, that magical moment has been captured for a life time.

This is wildlife photography. . . !
