I have been living in Feilding with my wife, Eucheriska and our dog, Lia since January 2020. I work at Livestock Improvement Corporation in Awahuri as a laboratory technician and my wife is a science teacher at FAHS.&nbsp;<br />I am also a part-time sports photographer shooting local events around the Manawatu but during my spare time, love to explore and photograph beautiful landscapes of Aotearoa New Zealand- I guess I came to the right country for earth&rsquo;s natural beauty!&nbsp;<br />I especially enjoy shooting astrophotography at the moment and I like to capture landmarks with the night sky. I do a style of nightscape photography called time-blending where I capture a scene in the evening and then at a later stage when the stars are out, capture the same scene with the sky detail and then blend the images together. The results can be somewhat interesting. I enjoy creating these images and am currently trying to build up a collection of all the Anglican churches of Oroua. If you would like to enquire about anything, please feel free to contact me through my website <a href="http://www.bianchiphoto.co.nz/">www.bianchiphoto.co.nz</a> . I am also on Instagram @bianchi_photo<br /><br /></div>  <div><div class="wsite-image wsite-image-border-none " style="padding-top:10px;padding-bottom:10px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;text-align:center"> <a> <img src="http://www.oroua.org.nz/uploads/2/3/4/0/23408166/published/photo.jpg?1695170557" alt="Picture" style="width:auto;max-width:100%" /> </a> <div style="display:block;font-size:90%"></div> </div></div>]]></content:encoded></item></channel></rss>
