Mountain Layers

Daily Photo – Mountain Layers

A familiar view from one range to another. It’s heading into spring here now (in reverse season land) so not long until all signs of snow are gone…

Through The Cracks

Daily Photo – Through the Cracks

Hey all, apologies for the online silence recently, loads going on. Hopefully I’ll share more on soon! For now, here’s an image from Scotland that I think slipped through the posting cracks at the time and was never shared. 🙂

24 to go!

There are about 24 hours or so left on the latest Peak Design Kickstarter. That cool new “pro” tripod. (I assume it’s ok for hobby users too and won’t fall over in shock should one try to use it.)

Anyway, here’s the link for you to check out if you see a new tripod in your future. Given they’ve crossed 4ドルm in pledges so far it’s fair to say people think it looks pretty decent.

Grab one here.

The Big Dune

Daily Photo – The Big Dune

I got one of those Google reminders today of an image from the past and it sent me down a little rabbit hole on my Smugmug portfolio. One of the little branches ended up at this image which quite connected with me today for some reason, so I thought I’d share. Maybe it’s because it is the middle of winter where I am… who knows. Whatever the case, I hope it gives you a little bit of joy in your day too. 🙂

The Many Falls

Daily Photo – The Many Falls

One thing (of many good things) that New Zealand does is create and well maintain walking tracks. They’re all over the place on the South Island and even from the middle of a town or city you’re often only a few minutes from the beginning of a trail that will take you into a beautiful, serene environment where you’ll barely see another human. The paths often cross little streams and regularly pass by lovely waterfalls like this one. Great for popping your shoes off and cooling down some tired feet on the way back.

A New Range of Tripods from Peak Design

Everyone reading this post should know that I love Peak Design products. Obviously a while back we had a great time working together on the Everyday Messenger bags but that didn’t require me to stick with their products *checks calendar*… *faints*… *gets up off the floor* 10 years later! How did a decade happen????

Anyway, one of the more recent bits of kit that I use from them is the Travel Tripod. It’s been allll over the place with me since launch, from the most southern tip of New Zealand to the north coast of Scotland and loads of places in between and has never let me down. In this relationship, unlike others in my life, I’m far more likely to be the one to cause issues, that’s for sure. Back to my original point. Today Peak Design are launching the Pro Tripod line with enhanced features such as increased strength and stability to carry heavier cameras and lenses, improved ball head functionality and accessories for full fluid pan/tilt video capture. It looks like they’ve also refined the design and further enhanced build quality too. Nice stuff all round!

So, if the original wasn’t “pro” enough for you maybe the new one will be. You can find our more here where they’ve spent countless hours crafting a useful info and sales page. If you grab one, have fun! And if you don’t well, um, enjoy knowing that you made a terrible life decision. 😉
