While visiting my family in Auckland for Christmas we went for a walk through a bush track down to Kendall Bay on Auckland’s North Shore. Quite a steep track but good for working off the extra Christmas food.
Over recent years many of the walls in Kaikohe have been decorated with paintings. The featured image of the painting on the wall of the old Kaikohe Hotel was the first major artwork done in Kaikohe back in 2013 but has since been lost as the hotel was demolished a year later. In the years …
I have removed the old Coppermine Photo Gallery as it is not very friendly with mobile devices. I have been thinking about this for some time but have discovered that it won’t work at all with a site update that I need to make. The time has come. Some of the gallery photos will be …
I had a trip planned for Wednesday 16th May to visit Omapere when the sun would be setting more or less in line with the wharf. I worked this out using the Photographers Ephemeris. As it happened I decided to do this trip on Tuesday instead, which turned out perfectly as the sunset on Tuesday was …

Both systems are running Windows 8.1, both with 8GB ram. The laptop runs Lightroom 5 and Photoshop CC with no problems so I didn’t expect anything different with Lightroom …
The latest set of photos to be moved from the Coppermine Gallery to a WordPress Gallery are the Kauri Museum, Matakohe, Open Day photos from September 2008.

I have moved the photos of the Kaikohe Christmas Parade, December 2002, onto a new mobile friendly page as part of my updates to this website. Some of the updates that I am working on have to use the photos already on the website as I lost all my November and December 2002 photos in …
