Watching the afternoon sun cast a golden glow across the idyllic landscape above Capella Lodge, it's easy to forget about life beyond the splendour of Lord Howe Island. I can't wait to get back to the World-Heritage listed island for my 'Island Light' adventure photography workshop early next year! Photo: James Vodicka -
When in Hokkaido, Japan, this February, I was able to see the magnificant white tailed eagle hunting for fish in the sea of Okhotsk. After catching the fish with their talons, they often move it in their beaks when they see another eagle about to poach their prize. They hunt off the sea ice that forms in winter.

Taken in the early morning hours while climbing Dune 45 . These amazing sand dunes change shape and colour before one's eyes. Sossusvlei is a salt and clay pan surrounded by high red dunes, located in the southern part of the Namib Desert, in the Namib -Naukluft National Park of Namibia. Photo: Richard Shakenovsky -

During a hot air balloon flight near Jaipur, India, villagers stood on the roofs of their homes to see our hot air balloon fly over them, skimming tree tops along the way. They watched in awe. I was overcome with emotion as we flew so close to people who seemed as amazed by the sight of the brightly coloured balloon as I was standing in the basket above them. They have so little.

In late November 2016, I was fortunate to visit Hudson Bay in Canada and witness a mother polar bear and her cubs waiting for the ice to form on the bay, so they could hunt for seals, their only source of food after a long summer fast. Photo: Kerry Boytell -

The crossing a Shibuya Crossing in Tokyo. Like many photographers I dashed into the middle of the crossing to get a shot before the lights change and traffic rolls. Made sure to get behind a selfie photographer who was going to stand still long enough to get him sharp whilst the remainder of the people kept moving. Photo: John Stranack -
At Icelands Namaskar Pass we felt as though we were on another planet. The steam from the fissures gave an eerie feel to the scene. The country has been identified as the youngest geological land mass on our planet. It is still evolving, and this intrepid photographer runs the risk of disappearing into the earths crust.
