almost washed me off my feet and you can almost see the wave that would have swamped my camera had I not of lifted it out of the water a split second after I heard the shutter click whilst trying to stay stable on my feet at the same time. When I checked the back of the camera I was so happy with the image I’d caught - it was unreal looking like clouds with a candle while the sky was on fire. I thought that I couldn’t get a better shot than that so I headed back up to go to the car. I was wrong in thinking it couldn’t get better! I turned around and lo and behold, the sky was almost bloodred with the reds reflecting in parts of the water so I had to take a few more frames. I set up a long exposure, a little longer than my other frames, so that I could blur more of the water whilst capturing the rocks in the far distance of Motukiekie and the somewhat popular starfish colony. I was rapped that it was the 1st January and I had 2 images that I still consider the best sunsets that I have captured on the South Island West Coast. I only took a few frames from this spot as I knew the show was almost over plus it was getting late and we still needed to drive 40 minutes back to our campsite and pitch the tent. Tucked up in my sleeping bag later that night around 11pm, thinking that the incredible moments of the day were over, I heard More Pork, a native owl, Kiwi Screeching. This, the sunset and the owl, together with the singing Tui’s Bellbirds, Fantails, and Robins that woke me the next morning before sunrise make me relive this trip to this day. It still amazes me how everything went to plan and how even though back home in Christchurch there was some bad flooding, I had experienced one of the most amazing overnight trips of my photography career. I hope that in all this uncertainty this story of one of my photography trips can help you through and even bring back memories of the amazing trips you have been on, helping you to reminisce on special moments that have happened in your life. After all, you don’t have to leave your house to go on a trip, photos last a lifetime and the stories you share can go that one step further so let me leave you with this question - What stories can you tell from your photos? Why don’t you write them now, sharing them on your Facebook page or blog so that others can all take a trip down memory lane with you? www.instagram.com/esbphotography_ www.facebook.com/ESB23Photography www.esbphotography.co.nz New to photography?
