There’s no other feeling like rocking up to a lake, nailing one of the first shots you attempt, looking at in on the back of the camera, knowing without a shadow of a doubt that this will be today’s keeper no matter how many others you take, packing up and heading to a coffee shop.

A tūturiwhatu (New Zealand dotterel) preening in front of my lens yesterday morning. I had a fantastic session at Wenderholm, north of Ōrewa, where the light, tide and dotties all came together to help me make art.
