PNG sunset

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Sun, 08 Jul 2012 09:18:00 +0000

This has been a long time coming! After the move and settling into another culture (and housing style), it has been really hard to get the time to take photos.

This was almost planned as I decided to risk taking the camera to the Yacht Club for dinner the other night and was pleasantly surprised at the sunset that night.

(Having cameras out in this part of the world is kind of a no-no as the high level of crime so it is rare for me to have the camera out)

Portrait of Number 2

This is a rare occasion as she never sits still enough to get a good shot.

Cicada

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Sat, 10 Sep 2011 05:51:00 +0000

This was spotted at the back of our house. I used a 50mm F1.4 @ f2 and only cropped and added vignette, no other edits were done apart from raw processing.

Rust on the Beach

Rusted fence along the beach again I like the square crop.

Wave

Here is another beach shot. Looked good on the day nice big waves hitting the rocks. The reflection is reduced by using a polariser. I like the way it cuts reflections out of the water and the bottom of the pool can be seen.

Drift Wood

Taken at Woonona beach. Maybe a bit oversaturated but I think it adds to it.

Small Water Fall

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Sat, 27 Aug 2011 10:25:00 +0000

This is in the Royal National Park near Waterfall IIRC. It was a rainy day and was interesting seeing not much at all.

Matt

Forest Tree

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Thu, 11 Aug 2011 00:00:00 +0000

I think this is in the National park south of Sydney.

Roll

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Sat, 06 Aug 2011 23:06:00 +0000

I know that it is a toilet roll, but it is the shadow that was cast that caught my eye.

Two at the Beach

Here is wife and number 1 child playing in the water.

Barrier

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Fri, 22 Jul 2011 01:35:00 +0000

It is amazing what we will use as a barrier and how effective it is in keeping us back.

This was from the Nowra air show for the 80th anniversary.

Back to landscapes! Not too many spider shots but there may be more in my library.

Trying something different, a square crop. Looks good to me. This was taken in the opposite direction to the sun setting, everyone else in the park was shooting the actual sunset, I thought this was better.

Spider

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Mon, 13 Jun 2011 05:28:00 +0000

This might not be for all!

It was between our clothes line and the basket, and presented itself in an unexpected way. We always get spiders here but not this big.

Matt

Claw

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Wed, 08 Jun 2011 00:25:00 +0000

This was just one of many that were lying around the farm dam.

Around Parliament House

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Mon, 06 Jun 2011 01:31:00 +0000

If I recall correctly, we were out for looking to see what the buildings in Canberra were like during earth hour. One of our stops before the time was Parliament House and these sort of jumped out at me/

Enjoy and Keep Shooting

Woonona

Comet C/2006 P1 McNaught

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Wed, 01 Jun 2011 06:16:00 +0000

This was taken back in 2007 from the family farm not too far from Canberra.

It was the first comet to be this bright in over 40 years and was an opportunity I could not miss.

Keep Shooting

National Library

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Mon, 30 May 2011 00:01:00 +0000

Here is the last image from Sunday last week, the same time as 18 minutes and National Museum.

The red and blue lights are from an ambulance going past at just the right moment, lucky timing!

I've added a form to add your email address to get a message when I have added a post, so feel free to sign up.

I am also tossing up offering my photos to purchase, please let me know if you think this is a good idea.

Get out and shoot.

Second image from the outing last Sunday. These were more experimental than anything else.
