Black & White Kiteboarding
A few months ago I was in the market for a new housing for my canon 7d. I did my research & settled on a CMT water housing from the US. They were fantastic, & kept me informed all the way through the building process of my housing. Finally it was finished & shipped arriving [...]
Strapless kitesurfing article & photos
As a few of you would know as well as being passionate about photography, I’m also a mad keen kitesurfer & occasionally I will write articles & contribute to various magazines. I wrote this article for the November edition of New Zealand Kiteboarder late last year & also contributed a few photos to the article. [...]
Wellington Bowl-A-Rama 2010 Photos
Well I’ve finally gone through, sorted & processed the photos I shot at the Wellington Bowl-A-Rama. It was certainly a fun & action packed shoot. Congratulations must also go to Brazilian Pedro Barros, who not only took out the Wellington event, but backed up this weekend to take out the Bondi event too – see [...]
Pedro Barros takes out Wellington Bowl-A-Rama 2010
As a photographer, you get to see & photograph lots of great events, this year’s Bowl-A-Rama was no exception. But the highlight for me was definitely seeing & photographing 14 year old Brazilian, Pedro Barros tear it up in the bowl. Pedro ended up taking out the pro division at the 2010 Wellington Bowl-A-Rama event [...]
Day 1 of Bowl-A-Rama 2010 kicks off in Wellington
Day 1 of Bowl-A-Rama 2010 kicked off at the Waitangi Park skate bowl in Wellington today. Rain threatened earlier on, but held off for just enough time to run a few rounds. I went bowl side with the 15mm fisheye lens & off camera flash to shoot the action of some of the best skaters [...]
Sneaky Lyall Bay Ground Swell – 4th January 2010
A sneaky ground swell off the south eastern coast of New Zealand pushed into Lyall Bay in Wellington for one day of pumping surf. It was a great start for waves in Wellington & hopefully this year will be much better than last. Unfortunately I got there a little late that day to get the [...]
Lyall Bay Surf Life Saving Club Training Afternoon
It was a late afternoon, a light southerly breeze blowing & salt haze blanketed Lyall Bay. I headed onto the beach to see what I could capture – initially it was surfing – but the Lyall Bay Surf Life Saving Club was out in force on their training afternoon with swimmers, board paddlers, boaties & [...]
Wellington Boardriders Double Pointscore Comp
It was the final comp of the year for the Wellington Boardriders, & the day was looking like it was going to provide some decent waves. The location was set for the corner at Lyall Bay & on arrival the waves were a little onshore & chunky. I thought about heading out into the water [...]
Kitesurfing Lyall Style
Wellington, New Zealand is known worldwide as the windy city. This also makes it the perfect place for wind sports such as kitesurfing. I am a little biased with the subject of kitesurfing as this too is one of my passions. So that is probably why I don’t have a large collection of kitesurfing photos [...]
Swell was there, but so was the wind
It had been a pretty consistent spring as far as waves were concerned in Wellington, so I’ve been able to get out there & get a few shots. The only problem is spring is the windiest time of year & you get these strong offshore winds blowing which makes it really hard to paddle onto [...]
