In pursuit of Perfection
In pursuit of perfection.
After so many failed attempts to find and photograph the New Zealand Falcon I can finally rest easy tonight, to say I am stoked with this find and this image (albeit not the most creative or well lit) would be a gross understatement.
Thyra the resident Ruru
For the past few Years I’ve had Native New Zealand Owls (Ruru) nesting on my property, this is the third year and this is a little update.
The venerable NZ Tūi.
Most nights the Tui are quite active much to the Owls annoyance and thus presented itself the opportunity to photograph them filling up on nectar from the flax plants prior to resting for the day.
Howling Winds and Ruru
The past few weeks have seen an increase in Ruru activity and the odd altercation with Starlings that tried to take over the nest box. Thyra has returned on several occasions and spent the odd day here and there staying on the box.
Canon vs Nikon
One of the first images I took with the formidable Canon R5 MKll after part exchanging a whole bunch of medium format gear and taking on credit in order to buy it, yes you're reading an article written by someone who isn't a paid professional and doesn't have tens of thousands of dollars stashed away to buy this gear.
