It was a race against time for this image as i arrive later than planned and could see from the road that this colour was brewing… Shooting hand held whilst losing the light and the movement of the water made things even trickier so iso to the rescue.

To get a decent splash of water the conditions need to be right, ie some rough weather including wind and cloud, add to that the light had to be right for the colour in the clouds, the tide has to be right – an incoming tide to force the water upthrough the channels in the rocks to explode out of the top and of course timing your shot as there is little to no warning that its coming…. so i watch the waves roll in forthe timing … Very satisfying when it all comes together!

I have been working full time in photography for the last eight years, mostly shooting landscapes – the moodier the better. I love flat light as it allows the creation of muted images which fit most home designs. I also shoot outdoor weddings, families, sports, real estate, commercial and abstract (ICM) images, all within the landscape. It is probably easier to say what I don't photograph, which is babies and flowers. This was never a dream or a goal but I moved to the west coast of the South Island of New Zealand and I was gobsmacked everyday at what I got to look at in my backyard; glaciers, mountains, rivers, wild coastline, lakes. It seemed a natural step to pick up a camera and haven't looked back since. I lived in helicopters for a good many years and is still my fave way to shoot!

What Is the best way to read the magazines?

Our magazines are designed using Adobe software for optimal visual quality. For the best reading experience, we strongly recommend downloading the PDF file and opening it with the latest version of Adobe Reader. Using web browsers or other PDF viewers may result in formatting issues or missing content, as they may not fully support all features.

How to save and read the magazines on your iPad

We recommend using the free Adobe Reader app for the best reading experience. First, ensure you have the latest version installed on your iPad.

• Open Safari on your iPad (avoid using Chrome for downloads).
• Visit our website and go to the ‘Latest Issue’ page.
• Tap the cover to start the download and allow enough time for the magazine to fully download.
• Once the PDF opens, gently tap on the screen. A bar will appear at the top with the option to ‘Open in Adobe’ – tap it.
• The magazine will open in Adobe Reader and be saved to your library for future access.

While you may use other apps such as iBooks or third-party PDF readers, we do not recommend them. Some members have reported issues with formatting and missing text, particularly in iBooks.

Please Note: We rigorously test each issue on iPads – including the latest Retina models – before publication. However, updates to iOS or certain apps may cause font compatibility issues that affect PDF display. For this reason, Adobe Reader remains our top recommendation for smooth, high-quality viewing.

This guidance also applies to other tablets and mobile devices.

Download Problem Troubleshooting

Please ensure your browser is updated to the latest version. Clear your cache and cookies, then try downloading again. If the issue persists, try using a private/incognito window or a different browser. While most users experience no problems with Chrome, a few have reported occasional issues.

Using Safari?
Safari’s tracking protection may block certain downloads. To resolve this:
Go to Safari > Preferences > Privacy, then uncheck ‘Prevent cross-site tracking.’
If the issue continues, please try another browser.

If none of these steps work, feel free to contact us with a detailed description of the issue. Including screenshots can also help us assist you faster.
