A turkey vulture perches high in a dead snag along St. Vrain Creek as the moon sets in Longmont, Colorado.

In this horizontal color photograph, a turkey vulture perches atop the forked branches of a dead snag, its head turned to the right as it surveys the landscape below. Positioned in the left side of the frame, the bird stands against a brilliant blue sky; a signature of Colorado's more than 300 days of sunshine each year. In the upper right corner, a Waning Gibbous Moon hangs above the horizon. This lunar phase follows the Full Moon, with the illuminated portion gradually decreasing each night.

This photograph is a focus stack created from two separate images. The first photograph was focused on the turkey vulture, while the second was focused on the moon. When using a super-telephoto lens, it is not physically possible to render both the nearby bird and the distant moon perfectly sharp in a single exposure because of the extremely shallow depth of field. By carefully combining the two images during post-processing, both subjects appear in sharp focus.

An incredible portrait of a turkey vulture perched along the riparian corridor of St. Vrain Creek with a setting Waning Gibbous Moon; a scene that highlights both the beauty of Colorado's natural landscapes and the habitat so vital to this remarkable scavenger.

A Welcome Swallow in Napier. Despite being tiny, these things have the bravery of a seasoned army general! #photo #photography #wildlifephotography #nature #wildlifephotographer #birdphotography #birds #birdphotos #birdsofnz #addBirder #newzealand

Another recent attempt at street photography. Props to this guy and his friend below him for doing this job that I bet is super unnerving. #streetphotography #photographynz #photography #wellingtonnz #newzealand #streetphotographynz #urbanphotography

Another one of of my favourite shots from 2025, an Australasian Gannet at the Cape Kidnappers colony. Possibly one of the best bird pictures I have taken thus far. #photography #wildlife #wildlifephotography #newzealandwildlife #birdphotography #birdsnz #wildlifephotographer

One of my favourite shots from 2025, an NZ Fur Seal in Dunedin. This was shot from a great distance and it had no clue if the shots would come out as clear as I wanted. #photography #wildlifephotography #wildlifephotographer #newzealandwildlife #nature #naturephotography
