Edged shores - New Zealand part VI

Thursday, 21 November 2019

Since luckily the last few weeks have actually been rather busy regarding my little business, I couldn't find the time to upload some more newer pictures here. But today I will continue with the sixth set of my New Zealand images. This small series is about our first "real" stay, which was along the east coast close to Kaikoura. Kairoura is mainly known for its commercial whale watching tours, which we think are not something one has to be part of. But beside the Sperm Whales, which can be found close to the coast here all year long, the coast lines themselves offer quite a lot of very nice experiences and encounters. So, as so often, we just strolled around and explored the area on our own. And, of course, I took some pictures there as well.

Very soft early morning light provides a lovely scenery.

A White-faced Heron taking a rest on the rocks during sunset.

The constant swell and the tide changes are always a very interesting and entertaining subject.

A quite big log easily washed ashore by the immense power of the ocean.

One of those mesmerizing star nights of the southern hemisphere.

Enjoying a fresh breeze and the warming sun after the night under the stars.

New Zealand Fur Seals are used to live in a rather rough environment of edgy rocks and constantly breaking waves.

Extraordinary rock formations right as the sun rose behind the sea.

Another White-faced Heron, showing its best side here.

Sorry for boring you with this image, but I'm happy to announce, that "Cosmic Peter" did it again and was awarded as the 1^st Honorable Mention in the "Small Worlds" category of this year's Cádiz Nature Photography Competition. Thanks so much to the jury, what an honor :) Please check out all the awarded works here online.

As I took this image I already thought that it might be some kind of special, so I'm pretty happy, that it finally scceeded twice.
Although "Cosmic Peter" wasn't successful in the 2019 Austrian Nature Photograher of the Year competition, I'm also pleased to let you know, that I came out as the Overall Winner and "Austrian Nature Photographer of the Year 2019". And since this was my first participation in this contest, I also received the award of the "Newcomer of the Year 2019". Many thanks, very much appreciated! You can find all the awarded images of this competition here on the website of the VTNÖ. Enjoy!

Just returned from the MontPhoto Fest in Spain last week and pretty excited to announce, that "Cosmic Peter" won the Other Animals category in this year's competition. Thanks so much everyone for the fantastic and inspiring festival and for having me. Of course, I highly recommend to check out all the awarded works.

Just a simple handheld shot, taken without any special technique or the use of artificial light and dedicated to my brother Peter.
