There Was Ice (July 16)
A puppy followed us home from a walk, and we literally could not get rid of it, much to its mother’s distress.
Headed down to the snow with a bunch of friends over winter. Except, there wasn’t much snow.
Lack of snow aside, the view from the mountain was gorgeous.
It’s been a while since I’ve uploaded some photos! Here’s some pictures from this year’s venture down to the snow. There was not much snow, but there was a goat.
We also accidentally got adopted by a puppy, who followed us back to our cabin and would not leave us alone.
A bunch of these photos (a lot of the sunset ones and the goat) have just been edited with a new curve I made, which I’m really liking! I want to put some of my curves up somewhere, I just have to figure out where.
Anyways! If you like my photography, and want to see some of my process, I’m going to be putting some of that stuff on my Patreon over the next week. Plus, patrons get early previews of galleries. Woohoo!
Intermission: Ruapehu & Ohakune
I went to the snow last year. I took some photos. Not all of the photos are snow.

Photography by me.I adore Static’s costumes (and photography), so getting to shoot her was really cool. Bonus: the landscapes down near the snow are très gorg (and also freezing cold).
Pentax: July ’15
I recently unearthed my mum’s old Pentax K1000 with some help from my sister, and since I had some spare film laying around I decided to test it out.
We couldn’t get the battery slot open, so I had no light meter, and I wasn’t 100% sure I’d loaded the film properly (it’s been a while), and then I almost screwed up rewinding the film—on top of the film counter being broken. This was a lot of experimentation, and I was totally expecting to have a roll of basically nothing.
Most of this is from Thames and the Coromandel; a friend and I went for a walk up to the Waiomu kauri grove one morning while down visiting my family. There’s one tree there that’s absolutely massive, must be a few centuries old. We also just wandered around the town a little on the market day (I was trying to find the source of the sausage sizzle scent).
As for my normal DSLR baby, I’m going to be uploading photos from a cosplay shoot from a couple months ago (oops) with a cosplayer I adore later this week!
Concerning Hobbiton
To Ruapehu (and Nearby)
The sun was still rising when my alarm startled me awake Thursday morning. I begrudgingly rolled out of bed and into the car, off to the bus station in the city. The cityscape was gorgeous and glimmering as we crossed the harbour. An exhausting, but good start to an adventure.
