This shot was take in the limestone country in hinterland behind Port Waikato, about 1 hour south of Auckland. This shot is courtesy of the Snodgrass family who allowed me to stay at their place and take a few photos.

The photographs on these site (currently 93 pictures) where taken from 2004 – 2007 at and around Port Waikato New Zealand. They reflect a time when I discovered not only this beautiful area of New Zealand, but my passion for photography. All the following images where taken on my Canon 10D using a sigma 15-30 wide angle lens and UV filter.

While my current career and lifestyle don’t permit to go out to Port Waikato and take as many photographs as I used to, I hope that these images share the magical light that illuminates one of my favourite areas of the world.

For those interested, this site has gone through a few transitions. For the past few months it has been down – the hosting company went out of business and I didn’t have time recreate everything again. I’ve opted for a simpler approach, instead of building my own site, I would host it on a google blogger account. This way the site is insured to stay up permanent. The site can be accessed by http://portwaikato.blogspot.com or http://www.portwaikato.com

For those interested in my photography visit my two other sites:

http://vonnagy.com – This is my general photography site, it contains photography from all over New Zealand plus additional countries. Consists primarily of New Zealand Landscape photography

http://www.parahanga.com – This is my experimental photography site. Here i dive into analogue photography including 35mm, Polaroid and instant photography as well as a few digital shots. Not for all tastes and not to be taken seriously, its reflects more of the quirky fun and the extremely amatuer side of my photography.

  Hi
  I love your photos – thanks so much.
  Port Waikato is a special place for me also as my in-laws have a bach at Sunset Beach.
  I ask your permission to feature a few of your shots as my facebook banner. I will credit your website and hopefully drive a bit of traffic to see and enjoy all the PW photos.
