Finished off this closed end Rollerball this afternoon. It is my first closed end pen using a resin blank, this one being blue chip cast in black resin.

Some snaps I took at work of a display that my wife put together of some handmade soaps.

Another one I completed today. I think the colours of this mixed resin are almost a match for one of my favourite football teams ( Rugby League that is ) , the Brisbane Bronco's.

Just finished putting together another 3 snakeskin pens. I think I am getting slightly better results now that I have started to use RAW than when I was using jpeg, what do you think ?

Went to lock up the chooks for the night, and noticed these Blue Bells (?) in a corner of the garden. Taken with the 18-55 kit lens.

While checking out Eye Level's link to the Fuji S5 vs D600 comparo, I found this D7100 review which I thought was well put together. It will be interesting also to read his updates as he gets more time to test it, Better Family Photos: Nikon D7100 Hands-On Real World Review (Part 1)

This is a special edition $2 coin, the first and only coloured coin in Australian currency. An uncoloured version was released in general circulation, but this coloured version was sold by the RSL to raise funds, I bought 3 of them.

A couple more from my last session at the lathe. Firstly a Shedded skin from a Stimsons Python cast with some yellow tinted resin. Second is another Southwest Carpet cast with a purple tinted resin. My friend Ian, only uses snake skins that his snakes shed naturally, he doesn't kill any...

I have put the HDR on the backburner for now, and ventured into using RAW ( I know, pretty daring isnt it ) just never got around to trying it before, too busy just taking photos I guess. I finished this pen over a week ago, but havent had much chance to photograph it. A friend of mine in...

The young Joey is spending some time out of Mum's pouch now. They were out the side of the house this afternoon, I went quietly out onto the verandah, the Joey came within 10 feet of me before Mum came over and he got back into her pouch.

Heres a low light shot I took.

What sort of scam is this ? Buy it now for $999.00.:suspicion: Nikon D7100 | eBay

I managed to get a few more pics of the Parrots yesterday, the conditions were a bit more favourable than the day before. In the first photo you can see the Native Bee's, they are hard at work on the flowers as well. I relied on the AF for these ones.

Here's some more tests. I downloaded a free HDR software called HDRtist , these are the first tries using it. Let me know if you think it has improved the pics any. Single image. HDR, 3 images 1.7 stops apart. Single image. HDR, 3 images 1.7 stops apart.

The first camera that I was allowed to use. The second camera I ever used. I was given this one 2nd hand by my Mum when I was in year 4 at school, my teacher had a darkroom set up at school, he took a few of us under his wing and taught us how to take photos, develop the film, and print the...

I was outside doing some yard work, and noticed these Blue Mountain Parrots in one of the Umbrella trees that are in flower at the moment. I manual focused all these. I struggle a bit with the small viewfinder on the D3100, so didnt quite nail the focus unfortunately. Normally I would go back...

Every time I walk out the back door she gives me a reason to go back in and get the camera :D

Just having a rest....

This afternoon I was taking some rubbish out to the bin and spotted these two on the lawn snacking on some bread that my Wife or Son must have thrown out. Had to race back in and grab the camera, the settings were still what I was using yesterday, so I had the ISO up too high, I just clicked...

Late yesterday afternoon I took this one off the end of my verandah looking down towards the creek, it was raining and the light was very low. Had it on AF and it didnt quite nail the focus, it was hunting in the low light. Edit- or it could be soft because of the 1/5 th second shutter speed.
