There are particular photos I *want* - photos that are a little challenging, that I know require the right mix of being in the right place at the right time, and having the technique down. This flying kākāriki is one of those shots! They fly so rapidly that I've never managed to get a good flight shot until this one. Do you have photos you really want to make, and are just waiting for the right opportunity?⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Red-crowned kākākriki | 2019⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ #birdventurenz #parrotsofinstagram #nzbirds #birdventure #conservationphotographer #raw_birds #your_best_birds #birds_adored #birds_brilliance #treasureislands #docgovtnz @docgovtnz @forestandbird @nikonnz #nikonnz #nikond500 #nikon200-500 #wildnz #birdstagram #birdsofinstagram #eye_spy_birds #nuts_about_birds #aotearoa #explorenz #nzmustsee #kings_birds #conservation #nzwildlife #newzealand #discoverearth #wanderwonder #islandlife https://www.instagram.com/p/B24ydmhJUSy/?igshid=1rfq19pzmc06k

Full moon shot with the new Nikon lens. One of the best parts of IG is getting to interact with people all over the planet. And no matter where you are - Norway, England, Ireland, Guam, South Africa, Phillipines, Taiwan, Canada, Belgium or the US - we all look up and see the same moon every night. Makes the world a little smaller. And so does reading! Have a great day wherever you are! 😄 #fullmoon #moonshot #itsasmallplanet #bookstagram #nikon610 #nikon200-500 (at Irmo, South Carolina)
