THE LIGHTHOUSE

New Zealand Landscape Photographer

Castlepoint has to be one of the windiest and wildest parts of the East Coast and even New Zealand that I have been. This is probably the furtherest place in the North Island from where I live, so the mission to get here with hopes of some decent conditions was in the hands of the weather gods somewhat! It was also my fourth trip here and for the first time, the wind wasn't powerful enough to blow me off the rocks!

There is so much to see in this area and so many interesting rock formations and angles you can photograph from but it is also one of the most underestimated and risky places around and weather can change in a moment here!
