Day 134 The shots were there - I just didn't capture them too well.

LOL I'm with you all the way on the golf @Eyelight - played that game for years and even got a coaching diploma. Wrote a couple of books 2 years ago on the short game which I believe is far more important than your (impressive) long iron shots :D Here's a link to them...

And then the big boy ...

Day 133 I found a graveyard! I won't bother you with all 52 photos I took as there is a lot of heavy clutter in the background which, due to the sheer size volume and weight, proved too much to move. Moving the vehicles themselves was also impossible as all had either run out of fuel or the...

@RON Please don't wake me up again. I am trying to get some rest so that I can stay up all night. :D Seriously though going to these lengths will require knowing exactly what one is after and, more importantly, how to capture it. Yesterday I was farting around not understanding why my photos...

The learning curve I have been on since buying my camera and joining this group has been phenomenal but it seems the more I learn the more I need to learn. I think my photography has improved a little bit but when I look at some of the photos on here and elsewhere I am not sure I have the...

Day 132 A bit of a flat day today - I didn't think you would appreciate yet another sunset! Everything happened on the deck today. The first is a photo of the top of the deck railing with grass unbelievable sprouting through the tiniest of cracks where the wood has dried and a spider thinking...

Day 131 Didn't take too many today. I was up there for an "interview" as this is the next place I will be housesitting (for 5 months) Yes I got the job and will be going there on 1st July Anyway I hate to bore you with more views but that's what I took. The first is the view I woke up to this...

Day 130 Got back much later than anticipated. Got some amazing flower shots and truly stunning sunsets - in fact I can hardly believe the first photo is straight out of camera with just a minor crop. The second is of a sticker of a bird (New Zealand Tui) on a window with the sunset as a...

Day 129 I spent most of the afternoon photographing an eye! A friend of mine is doing an Iridology course and needs to be able to take a good clear shot of the iris - of course she doesn't quite have the right gear although her camera does have a "macro" setting. Its not too sharp though and...

Thanks @wthorson and @wreckdiver1321 - most appreciated. :o

Day 128 Leaps and bounds in improvement with my PP. Very happy with today's photos as I was trying something specific and knew it was possible to get something in post processing - whether I had the ability or not was an entirely different thing. The first one was the hardest as this is how...

Day 127 Been a busy day and I left things until the last minute. I still have heaps to do so today's photo is just a photo. However i do think there is some potential in revisiting the subject of this dining room chair which needs some repair work on the upholstery!

Day 126 Another day of getting my photos in early. Some interesting rain drops on the deck furniture this morning as I was waiting or my coffee machine to warm up. I just enjoyed the reflection of light that I saw. Do wish I had a macro lens for these though. I particularly like the third one...

Okay so I took a photo and entered in my local camera club's monthly contest. My first month I was a C-grade - everyone starts there and it is nothing to be proud about simply because it is a starting point. The photo in question got an "honours" for C-grade and was instrumental in moving me up...

Not sure if this is the right thread for this as this is a light as opposed to a flash. Available on Amazon Neewer CN-216 Has anyone ever tried this light? The reviews seem pretty good (although construction is flimsy) and for the price this seems to be a real bargain. Anyone? It seems to be a...

Day 125 I have once again "lost" my watermark. Could somebody explain why it disappears on me from time to time? As far as I know I saved it in the "Default" brushes but it ain't there tonight. I don't have the remotest idea where it has disappeared to ...

Oops … I forgot about this one.

When the fog lifted I went looking for an old Bedford truck I had passed a few weeks ago.
