Landscape picture from Tiritiri Matangi Island, New Zealand at night.

Tiritiri Matangi Island landscape photograph at night.

Something a little different again today.... except its similar to my last photo post. Another landscape photograph. This time taken at night on Tiritiri Matangi Island. This shot was taken from just the other side of the Tiri lighthouse photographed last year. I did have a completely different wide angle shot in mind for the light house this year, however once again the weather wouldn't play ball. So that plan will have to wait. I got this image while waiting for one of the many storms that came in at night to hit. I was hoping to get some more lightning photos. Of course the weather wouldn't play there either. Figures... Still I did get this little image. Its looking across the Hauraki Gulf towards the Coromandel. Some more Tiritiri Matangi Island photographs : North Island Kokako, Kereru, Pateke. This is digital photography post #30 for 2010. Can't find something? Try the search box top left! Like my photography? Follow me on twitter @glen_co_nz.

Picture of a Red-billed Gull. Stewart Island, New Zealand.

[red-billed gull photo]

Red-billed Gull photo.

I'm still going through my giant stack of yet to be reviewed photos. Even better I am finding little gems like this simple shot of a Red-billed Gull from Stewart Island last year. The colour in this photo is insane, and due to nothing other than the great light you can get down there. The reds in the birds eye-ring and bill are way more crimson than you would normally expect. Yet this would be very close to what the human eye would have seen at the time. Its also nice to get a more common bird posted for once. Related photographs : Shag fishing, Gannet flying, Little Blue Penguin. This is photographic post #16 for 2010. Like my photography? Follow me on twitter @glen_co_nz. Red-billed Gull Information.
