Spectacular panoramas from high altitude
Lloyd Homer is one of the leading photographers of New Zealand’s natural environment. Working for the Geological Survey (now GNS Science) for over 35 years, he was at hand to record the impact of events such as earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and landslides.In the later part of his career Lloyd specialized in aerial photography, creating spectacular panoramas from high altitude.
Simon Nathan has worked with Lloyd for many years, and has recently published a book on his photographic career. For this illustrated talk, Simon has chosen a selection of his favorite images from the book (with some extra images around Wellington as a bonus).
There will be an opportunity to buy copies of the book, and have the author sign them, at the presentation.
About the speaker
Simon Nathan is a geologist, science historian and biographer of Wellington. He is the author of a number of books including James Hector : explorer, scientist, leader (2015), Through the eyes of a miner : the photography of Joseph Divis (2016) and most recently Flying high: the photography of Lloyd Homer (2019)

Contemporary boutique spacious three-bedroom single level 6th floor apartment in Portal, is in a desirable position across the road from Te Papa Museum. With elevated views of the harbour from the floor to ceiling windows, watch the sun set over the city from your generous balcony. Life is never dull, it's a brief walk to the golden sand beach of Oriental Bay, and the sailing boats at Chaffers Marina. This is a lifestyle few ever experience.
