In February, I spent some time with Yvette and Simon Feasey on their property in Oratia, in the Waitākere Ranges on New Zealand’s North Island.
The gigantic Punga ferns on their land – like the entire setting – are absolutely fantastic.
Reaching them meant hiking up and down through the bush.
Then climbing, crouching, crawling, and working in near darkness to position the camera and to illuminate the ferns.
The night was warm and perfectly still. Ideal conditions, the mozzies though!
