Another find in my folder of ‘files to work on’ was an image I captured a few months ago.  It is from one of my nearby locations that I regularly visit to photograph.  It is always interesting to see how different the same composition can look under different light.  This day there was a combination of a late spring dump of snow, a setting moon, wonderful early light on soft clouds and content sheep grazing.  As I type this I have a 1 metre wide print on canvas emerging from my printer, it looks great.

In this month’s NZ Geographic there is a large fold out map of Canterbury.  One of my Glenfalloch images was used for the information panels on the reverse.

In the Dec issue of Avenues magazine there is a feature on the best place I know of for a corporate retreat.  Glenfalloch Station is set in beautiful isolation and offers great hospitality, accommodation and conference facilities. It is also one of my favourite places to photograph.  The Avenues article only used a few (including this one as a double spread on the entry page) but if you look through my portfolio you will see Glenfalloch images popping up regularly.

I have been all over the place lately (Sydney, Melbourne, Hokitika and Wellington in two weeks) and finally had a chance to sift through some of the images I have been collecting. Looking outside at snow now on Mt Hutt it seems hard to believe I shot this just a couple of weeks ago in Hokitika.

One of my favourite areas in Mid Canterbury is back in the hills beyond the Rakaia Gorge.  I am just back from two days of photographing around the upper reaches of the Rakaia.  Approaching nor-west weather produced some magic at sunrise and through the day.  Many thanks to Chas & Dietlind Todhunter of Glenfalloch for their brilliant hospitality.  I’m quite excited to work my way through the images I captured.
