A few weeks ago, I went with a couple of friends to Ohau Ski Field - first time going to the place and didn’t really know what to expect from it as a small club field in the middle of Canterbury (not like what I am used to skiing in New Zealand), but there was no way I was going to be going anywhere without my camera, of course.

Hey there, it’s been a minute. If you were unaware, we are in New Zealand! And in lockdown. Level 4 lockdown started on Tuesday this week, and personally, I am fortunate enough that this is my first real experience of this throughout the last year and a half of COVID.

A few months ago in July, we wrote a post about the Epson International Pano Awards and how it was the first time we would be entering a few images into this prestigious panoramic landscape competition.

For the last few years, I have been planning to submit a few images to this competition, which in the world of landscape and panoramic photography, is a big deal. But for whatever reason (probably just being a lazy shit), I never got around to it.

Probably not what you were expecting right? This is one of my absolute favourite photos I’ve ever taken. Wasn’t even taken on a professional camera, or even an entry level camera, I think my old iPhone 5s.

Why is it that so many injuries in sport occur either doing something you’ve done hundreds if not thousands of times, or on something easy that you could perform with your eyes closed.
