Photo Tours through New Zealand!

Photo Tours through fascinating New Zealand


It’s been cooking and boiling on our table for quite some time but now we’re done and ready to roll ahead.

We’re introducing our new product – Photographic Tours.

We have prepared 4 kinds of tours to chose from, each at different lengths to suit variety of clients. And of course, tailor made tours are available as well.

Being based on the spectacular, colourful and diverse wild West Coast of the South Island in New Zealand, which is by large part under UNESCO protection, we feel our tours should reflect that.
The West Coast region is a pure gem in overall breathtaking landscapes of a whole New Zealand but it is its overwhelming variety of sceneries, this 600km long stretch of land sandwiched between Tasman Sea and almost 4,000m high Southern Alps, offers to keen traveler/photographer to savour.
This is one of reasons why 3 of our tours are largely taking place in this magnificent corner of the World, giving options of magic sceneries to photograph in.

From 3.5 days through 4.5days, 10 days and up to 15 days long premium trip, our trips are available to wide range of clients.

For more info, please visit our site at: New Zealand Photo Tours

We sincerely look forward to welcoming you on our precious West Coast!

Super Moon as seen in New Zealand

Last Sunday we had a special, big full moon so I thought I might try to capture this.
I don’t have any special lenses or equipment for astronomy photography and I was using only my 70-200 lens but to my surprise, I was astonished by the amount of detail that can be captured without any specialized gear and also what a naked eye looking up the night sky is missing….

Yes, I had to do some severe cropping losing lots of pixels but with careful capture, post-processing and using professional upsizing software, I’ve been able to achieve a result capable of high quality photograph printed out at sizes up to 60cm on long side.

Capture at 1/800s at f3.2 – ISO 200, spot metering and -1/3EV comp

Thank you and Enjoy!
