June Photo of the Month – Moeraki Eye

My photograph of the month for June 2015 is of one of the Moeraki boulders on the east coast of the South Island of New Zealand. The Moeraki boulders have become an iconic location for photographers visiting New Zealand and the area is now one of the most popular locations for landscape photography in the South Island. These oft photographed spherical boulders present a real challenge if you want to try and create something different and unique. This photograph was taken during my 2015 Masterclass workshop (trip report coming soon) and was the result of focusing my efforts on a single boulder that was surrounded by a pool of water at low tide.NewZealand-2355-Edit12015If you are interested in photographing the Moeraki Boulders and many other fabulous locations in New Zealand I will be running another Masterclass workshop to the South Island in both 2016 and 2017. The 2016 Masterclass is already Sold Out but I am now taking expressions of interest for 2017 if you want to be amongst the first to be notified when details are finalised.
