Stephen Wheeler's photostream  

Photo enthusiast with a Nikon D5000 normally using a Tamron AF 18-270mm lens. Since I generally find myself Biking, Hiking or Motorbiking to my destinations, I try to keep my kit as light as possible thus prefer not to cart around extra gear.

I am a New Zealander(Auckland, Wellington) now living on Awaji Island in the Kansai region of Japan since 1991.

I returned to photography after a 16 year hiatus when I purchased my first motorbike and found out the amazing places I could reach and geotaging my photos afterwards just made things so much more....

In my free time you can find me In the Kansai or Shikoku regions doing any outdoor activity I can.

As for photos I am crazy about Japanese scenery, Insects, Animals and Plants and Underwater photography.

I also have a keen interest in stopmotion videos.
