Brighton

04.07.2012

brighton_natmcc007

I stumbled upon this street of colour in Brighton and loved how all the doorways looked so cheerful, so welcoming, so unique. So I photographed the whole street. In the pouring rain. Holding an umbrella in one hand. Pulling my [...]

Clovelly

clovelle_natmcc033

The day may have been grey but the tiny, English sea-side town of Clovelly was bursting with colour. We visited in November and saw very few people but were told that it is a different story during the peak holiday [...]

Switzerland

25.04.2012

swiss_natmcc005

I adored Switzerland. There were chimney’s that looked like houses. Wooden rocking horses in public parks. Heated floors. Crisp air. Raclette : ). Hot red sunsets. Pumpkins on windowsills. Outdoor springs and shooting stars… The best part was visiting our [...]

Entrevaux

entrev_natmcc005

I don’t really want to tell you where this is… I want to keep it a secret! It was an unexpected little beauty on some awfully rocky, narrow, windy, steep highway through the mountains between Nice and Chamonix. It was [...]

Carcassone

carcassone_natmcc015

We spent a whole day walking through the fortified city of Carcassone, it’s quiet cobbled streets and stone towers. I had the most hearty three course french meal for lunch {vegetable soup, duck a l’orange and chocolate mousse} at a quaint [...]

Andorra

andorra_natmcc012

Once we arrived in Andorra we were feeling pretty stir crazy. We had spent four weeks in our van and it had been rainy and cold for days. Nothing was dry, we couldn’t do too much outside, our gas bottle had run [...]

All the roads ahead

21.12.2011

roads_natmcc1362

For some reason, in the UK, international drivers whose occupation is ‘photographer’ (among 10 other random occupations; Journalist, Diplomat, High Profile Athlete) cannot get insurance to drive a car they have purchased over there. Maybe it is because we spend [...]

Mundaka

spain_natmccA

The drive along the coastline from San Sebastian to Mundaka was a drive I could do again and again and find many more pictures to take each time. Jagged cliff faces dropped straight into the ocean and steep valleys circled [...]

It was a grey day as we practised our limited Spanish and headed into the Basque country of northern Spain. You couldn’t see the mountains for the rain when we arrived, but the next morning the sun broke out and we [...]

Favourites from our first week in France

france__natmcc13

There were so many pretty, old towns as we drove from the north to the south-west of France.  I especially loved reading the cottage names; Le Bungalow, Le Chene, Floretica … and trying to guess what they might mean or [...]

Biarritz

After the cold, cold nights in Amsterdam & Belgium we finally caught up to some glorious summer-ish weather on the west coast of France, in Biarritz. We walked the coastline with bright eyes and a skip in our step… No [...]

Ice crystals line the edges of all the leaves lying in the mid-morning shade of the mountains. Beautiful.

trip_natmcc

It’s a lovely night outside tonight, the moon is high and full. It’s 11.30pm, we’ve been drinking Bailey’s and researching some of our next moves along the coast. I’m standing outside our camper in the dark, in my thermals trying to [...]

Hedgehogs and chocolate waffles in Amsterdam

amster_natmccB

Amsterdam has been one of my favourite places so far. I loved peering into people’s windows from the street and seeing glimpses of paint-brushes, unfinished artworks and people’s cool nik-naks. I loved the chocolate covered waffles… even better once warmed [...]

Walking through the old city of Bruges

06.11.2011

bruges_natmcc07

Horses clip-clopped on the cobblestones, locals zoomed around on their bikes and I ate a whole bag of delicious dark chocolate as we walked the streets of the old Bruges city. We found a cosy corner in a hostel selling [...]

Apple Day at Calke Abbey

calke abbey_natmccU

Nestled in the luscious countryside of Ticknall, Derbyshire is the fascinating treasure chest of Calke Abbey. There is so much history within this country-house estate and the families, who inhabited it and contributed to it from 1704 for three centuries, [...]

Norway by Natalie McComas_014

Norway reminded me of those paintings you do as a child – where you fold it in half and it smears over, mirroring the other side. The reflections were so perfect, so still, that you could not tell where the [...]

It’s been 10 days and there’s a back-log of pictures already! It’s been hard to find the time to process all the images I’ve been taking as there’s so much to see outside. Last week we were in the tiny [...]

Last year I was given the opportunity to photograph a wedding on the beach at the Intercontinental Resort, Natadola, Fiji – for the lovely Shannon and Chris. My partner (Adam aka Juddy) and I (easily) decided to stay for a week [...]

After teaching at Currumbin Valley State School yesterday I headed to Fingal Headland for a location check for Dee & Shannon’s wedding next week. It was such a stunning afternoon, the sky was a beautiful marble swirl… it made me [...]

  Just a 30 minute drive from Queenstown, Arrowtown is the most charming little place that I’ve ever been to. It was like stepping back in time – the cottages were so rustic, full of character and were tiny! The [...]

It probably wasn’t the best weekend to be going to NZ, with the earthquake in Christchurch and terrible weather everywhere – our flight couldn’t land in Queenstown, as the landing strip was too short and wet. So we landed in [...]
