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.
If 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.
Don’t forget! You can win a free 13″ x 19″ Fine Art Print of this photograph including shipping anywhere in the world. All you need do is to be the first to comment on this post on the home page with your thoughts on why you like this photograph or why you would like to own a print of the image and then share the post with your preferred social media outlet.
New Zealand 2016 South Island MasterClass Workshop Sold Out
I just wrapped up my two back-to-back 2015 New Zealand South Island Masterclass Workshops (trip report coming soon) and was planning to officially announce and open up bookings for the 2016 workshop on my return to Australia in a few days time. However, due to initial expressions of interest and bookings the 2016 Masterclass workshop is already completely sold out and over subscribed.
If you are interested in travelling to New Zealand and photographing in the spectacular South Island you can still register your interest to be put onto the wait list or to be amongst the first to be notified when the 2017 dates are announced. Like the 2015 workshop, the 2016 Masterclass workshop also includes extensive use of helicopters for accessing some of the most remote and spectacular country as well as aerial photography of the spectacular Southern Alps and glaciers. 2016 also includes a new optional extension (also sold out) to the rugged northern coastline of the South Island.
