A photo of a Hawke's Bay flock of sheep has featured in New York Times Magazine.
It was taken by photographer and book publisher Grant Sheehan for a soon-to-be-released book on a sheep station west of Hastings, Kereru Station - Two Sisters' Legacy.
The New York Times Magazine story was on Dronestagram, a website featuring aerial drone photography, where Mr Sheehan's photo was featured.
Mr Sheehan, who grew up on a farm near Nelson, said sheep were very difficult to photograph.
"Their attention, if you ever get it at all, is about a nano-second. I bought a drone to do this book - I thought it would give a different perspective to look at animals - and the first sheep I tried to shoot was freaked out and ran off.
