Crystallise: Finding the architecture in the organic. Macro details of amethyst crystals showing the natural facets and colour gradients formed over millennia.

Breath of the Dawn: In the biting chill of a winter morning, a solitary Robin is captured in a rare, cinematic moment of stillness. The low-angled sun creates a brilliant rim-light that traces the bird’s silhouette and illuminates the delicate mist of its breath, turning a simple song into a visual melody. Set against a backdrop of soft, ethereal bokeh, this image serves as a powerful reminder of the quiet, fragile life that persists in the heart of the cold.

The Golden Descent : A squadron of Mallards breaks the stillness of the lake, caught in the fleeting, amber warmth of the winter sun. This frame captures the precise moment of transition, where flight meets water, highlighted by the crystalline spray of landing and the translucent glow of backlit feathers.

A Splash of Colour on a Grey Day - While everything seems to remain in its winter slumber, I caught this unexpected visitor today, a Rose-ringed Parakeet. These birds are a tropical flash of neon in an otherwise dormant, monochrome landscape.

The Golden Impact - There is a specific kind of energy in the sea today. Watching the spray catch the morning light against such a heavy, bruised sky felt like a lesson in resilience. A powerful reminder that even in the cold of February, there is a warmth waiting to break through.

Weathering the Mind - Pitter-patter on stone. Finding a moment of internal quiet amidst a damp, green afternoon.

Alpine Noir - Cheers to finishing month one! To celebrate, I headed out into the Southern Alps to capture this local giant. I’ve gone for a black and white edit today because the contrast between the dark treeline and the bright, snowy peaks was just too good to pass up. There’s something lovely about the silence of the mountains when they’re stripped back to just light and shadow. It’s been 31 days of carrying my kit everywhere, and honestly, I’m starting to see the world in frames!
