THE MAGNIFICENT WILD CATLINS, NEW ZEALAND

Nugget Point Lighthouse - Catlins


A recent visit to The Catlins region in the south east of the South Island of New Zealand was an unforgettable experience. It offered the perfect combination of rare wildlife, stunning scenery and wild unspoilt landscapes – a real treat for photographers.

Two of the many highlights was being able to get up close and personal with rare Hooker Sea Lions and Yellow Eyed Penguins.    Even more special was being able to view and photograph these magnificent creatures in their natural wild environments.

Using a telephoto lens is the only way to take this type of photograph. There were plenty of warnings not to get too close for personal safety and for protection of the wildlife. The telephoto made it easy to capture some memorable images at a safe distance.
