We headed out on our boat again for a while. We had 10days spare but ended up being out for 8. It was an unusual stretch of weather for this time of year....autumn over here but 28degC days felt very summery...and very very light winds. Our sails did not go up once. The upshot though was clear...

I started making jewellery about 12months ago. It's an expensive hobby and I've been pretty slow with getting some stuff to stick in my brain, but lately I've been getting a bit more adventurous ( and spending a heap more money). You'd think having photography as my other hobby would be an...

:(Had to send my Tamzooka away for warranty (I hope) work. Last few times I've used it, it freezes and won't autofocus. Nothing works to fix it. Auto-focus motor screams at me. However will I cope without it? I know a few people have had the freezing problem. I've had it occasionally and...

Loved this red yacht. So glossy Our little dog. We had to drag her onto the boat and tie her on to stop her trying to escape. By the end of the week she was like an old boat dog. Totally chilled out :)

Port of Brisbane Little Sandhills on Moreton Island Saw both an ambulance and the garbage truck struggling along this road

Long story attached to all this so I won't bore you with it but my partner and myself finally got the chance to spend some time away on our boat. The weather didn't play nice. It rained every day and the wind was fierce. We also had some equipment problems....flattened both batteries and the...

I don't do sunrise too often, but got talked into it by 2 friends last weekend...... These last 2 are pre-dawn

I dragged my sorry self out of bed at 3am again last Saturday to go to the beach for sunrise. I'm always glad I've made the effort even though I absolutely HATE getting out of bed in the dark. So here are a few shots I took This last one is my first effort of processing by...

I was trying to get a plane light trail coming from behind the buildings and across the sky. Didn't quite get the timing right partly because I left my remote at home and was relying on the timer, and partly because there was too much other stuff to shoot in between flights and I didn't have a...

Eastern Yellow Robin at the fryingpan. The birds just LOVE the fryingpan :D

Spangled drongo

I rarely do sunrises coz I have to drive to the coast to get one and I don't really like getting up at 3am, so a recent trip with other photog friends was good coz it FORCED me to get up at 3am to get the sunrise. The sunrises weren't fantastic, but the thing is I DID them :D

This is mine. For a few reasons 1. Where I live (in the hills) I don't get to see the sunset too often 2. Where I live (in the hills) I don't get to see storms too often 3. I rarely shoot after sunset as I have to go a fair way to get a clear sky for stars or the milky way. 4. It is the first...

With the increasing warm weather now summer is almost here, I cleaned up the fryingpan and filled it for the birds. The Lewins Honeyeaters are making good use of it already Spotted a family of Superb Wrens on my walk yesterday. Daf was doing his best to keep my interest and distract me from...

Very, very similar to the Aussie Silvereye

I either forgot I had pressed the shutter release OR I did it accidentally, but this was the result as I moved on to the next shot. I kinda like it.

Day 4 we were up at 2.45am (why am I doing this to myself? ) to go out to Tin Can Bay for sunrise. Again it didn't happen as the sky was pretty well clouded over. After this we packed up and left to make our way home. I'm still recovering from the early starts ;)

Day 3 saw us up at 3.15am again for another sunrise that didn't eventuate (well, the sun came up but you know what I mean), so it was a case of enjoy the early part of the day on the beach with all the other insomniacs. I had once again managed to change my file setting to jpg only in the dark...

During the day we did some birding (not all that successfully I might add) and spent some time on the beach at Inskip Point where the ferries load up the go across to Fraser Island. We hoped for a nice sunset but that didn't happen due to a late storm and some heavy clouds. We did get some...
