In Touch - Winter 2024
What an amazing year so far, the southern lights have been truly outstanding across most of New Zealand …such a magical experience for us to witness. Well worth venturing out on a crisp evening, to capture these colourful displays against our clear night skies. They are expected to repeat over the winter months so be sure to keep a look out for more light shows, and of course Matariki coming up, have your camera ready.
