This gallery is currently being developed. I have a large range of photographs available at present, with photos from my China and Indonesia trips in 2002 available, plus an extensive range of New Zealand birds and scenes. If there is something in particular you require, then please contact me by email. Otherwise, take a look through the growing collection below.
Also note, most images have been cropped to some extent, however, most images in this gallery would be suitable for printing at 10 x 15 inches. The image name (needs to be provided when ordering) and date that each photo was taken, and time, are provided beneath the large version (550 x 550 pixel max) of each image, along with the the size of the image as cropped and displayed. This is provided so as to allow estimation of the amount each image has been cropped. The original size of an uncropped image is 3072 x 2048 pixels. To see the large version of each image click on the 'thumbnail' within each species gallery.
