After a failed attempt of getting on the road Friday night, I finally made it out to Cape Palliser in the Wairarapa on the south eastern tip of the North Island of New Zealand, for a night of chasing the stars & hopefully a surf first thing in the morning. The surf never eventuated, but boy what a night. By the time I finished up it was close to 4am, & there was still a heap of things I wanted to shoot. It's an incredible & at times freaky feeling being out in the middle of no where by yourself, with this amazing vast sky of stars above you. Between a stand off with a seal & the early 3am 250 plus stair climb up to the Cape Palliser lighthouse, this ended up as my most successful night of chasing stars...highly addictive I tell you! Enjoy the images!
