Here’s a photo I got on the way to Mt. Cook/Aoraki, which is only a few hours from Queenstown. It’s one of the new stops we’re gonna do on the upcoming NZ Photo Adventure workshop happening soon!

The end of an era!
The time has finally come to move on from my trusty Sony a7R3. It's been an awesome body and while I've flirted with some others over the past few years none of them felt like a useful upgrade, so I always ended up back on the Mark 3. Amongst other things it's been with me from New York to San Francisco and loads in-between in the US, all over Asia, through Africa including being AWOL in Madagascar for a few days, went from the Portuguese coast to Russia via 9 other cities and more countries. It even survived Burning Man more than once. My companion on a bunch of hikes, including the Camino de Santiago and all-around New Zealand it's been a phenomenal device.
Its replacement? The a7CR. I've been playing with it for a couple of months now and knowing that the Mk.3 with its forever lost eye cup and extremely well worn body was reaching the end during my Scottish adventure last summer, I was looking for something more compact for the next few years which are shaping up to involve a lot of time on the road. This is a great balance of great specs and compact size. The question is... stick with my 24-105 G or go for something a little more compact (and a bit less worn!)?

Here’s one from a fun day in Antarctica where I spent the day with thousands of penguins. You can see a few of them that ventured away from their “nest” (basically a circle of rocks) down onto the ice flows to go fishing. Even though I thought the penguins were cute, I was kind of hoping for an Orca to come up so I could see a takedown.

Another day, another hike! I’ve been out enjoying this weather on looooong walks about 3-4 hours a day, listening to all sorts of audiobooks. I usually carry a few pieces of fruit that I eat like a primate while my monkey brain tries to figure out these books.

I took this while on a boat with the amazing Stu after another delightful day exploring Scotland. I can’t wait to go back. It’s a very special place to me.
