Exploring Waitaki: Anderson’s Lagoon

January 12, 2023February 9, 2023 / Z. R. Southcombe

Despite living in a town with a population of less than a thousand, I am lucky enough to have a local camera club - and within walking distance, too.

Switching to Monochrome Mode

December 8, 2022 / Z. R. Southcombe

View from Puketapu in autumn I remember, years and years ago, talking with a friend about how the light in autumn seemed so warm and golden.

November 14, 2022November 13, 2022 / Z. R. Southcombe

I have been building a slow but steady fascination with native & endemic wildlife, especially the ones that visit my garden. And so it's interesting that my first couple of images I've chosen for my 365 Project are endemic fauna...

2023 Calendar: Behind the Images

November 7, 2022November 10, 2022 / Z. R. Southcombe

It's been an awesome challenge putting together a calendar, especially as I continue to improve my skills and push my artistic vision. Through photography, I have also learned so much more about our native biodiversity, as well the unique beauty that can be found if we just look hard enough - or sit still long … Continue reading 2023 Calendar: Behind the Images
