Still running on the generator here. Our phone came back on today, we are still on copper cable phoneline, neighbours who are only using mobile service have nothing because the repeater tower is out of action. The wind was gone today but we got smashed by heavy rain all day. I tipped out 700mm (...

Now a cat2, its dying....

I didnt get my camera out until late this afternoon, the winds had eased quite a bit by this time. I only got some photos looking out through one of the glass doors as its still raining heavily and I didnt want to get the camera wet. The mains power went out for us at 9am this morning and is...

Well we are starting to see the winds ease off now. We have been on the southern edge of the storm most of last night and all of today. It has finally crossed the coast and has been downgraded to a cat3 cyclone now. Our strongest winds were around midday today, gusts up to 160kmh/100mph. A bit...

Rainbow Lorikeet

Cyclone Debbie has just been updated to cat4. A bit of a relief for us that it looks to have veered northwards slightly, but hopefully it wont hit Bowen for those residents sake.

I was out in the backyard taking photos of the Lorikeets in the Umbrella tree, I noticed this bird fly up into a tree behind me, I wasn't sure what it was until I downloaded the photos. It is a Superb Fruit Dove, I now have taken a photo of all of the Fruit Doves in my backyard :). This is the...

Australian Wood Ducks, on my neighbours lawn. Female with the white facial stripes, male with the brown head.

This thread has gone a bit quite. Sigma 50-150, a bit slow to focus on small things, but when it does hit focus, it can make some nice images.

Bar Shouldered Dove...

Couple of insects with the Sigma 50-150...

Thanks @Sandpatch for bringing this old thread to my attention. It was my very first post on Nikonites. I still have this lens, and its one of my favourites. I prefer to use this lens for my macro work than my much newer Nikon 105g VR macro lens.

Distilling Ethanol..... I was going for a sinister look, it is well overcooked though. And a slightly less cooked version....
