Vixens 365 Project 2014

[Vixen]

Thanks We had to get a new liner in May, so were without water on tap for over a week while the fellow ordered the liner and installed it. Bucket baths on the front lawn were not so bad, but filling toilet cisterns by bucket is a pain. Luckily we have a small backup take to fill buckets otherwise we would have been living on bottled water and buckets from the local river

228/365.....tibouchina

Not too many flowers about with it being winter. Looking forward to spring

 

[nidding]

I doubt it would suit you Vixen

That's what I thought

Beautiful flower shot!

That pano of the mill has a lot of emotion in it. The clouds and darkness of the photo add to a kind of... bleak feeling. It really reminds me of some fascinating photos of the abandoned city of Pripyat (close to Chernobyl) I saw recently. Very nice!

229/365.......YES!! YES!! YES!!

I got a Tamron 150-600mm. This is my first shot with it. I still had to crop it out a fair bit but then I was also a lot further away from the birds too this time, and I manually focussed as I didn't quite get the hang of the auto focus in this situation. Sooooooooo impressed so far

230/365....Scarlet Honeyeater

The big lens again. Hand held. Manual focus. Man that thing gets heavy after a bit.

OK....I am off on a 1000km drive tomorrow to visit my family down south. I don't have access to editing software while I am away, so I won't be posting any pics for a week or so. I should have internet access tho, so I will hopefully be able to look in. Depends on how much fun I am having really

 

[Marilynne]

Have fun and take lots of pictures.

 

[nikonpup]

[wreckdiver1321]

Haha looks like your enjoying that giant new piece of glass.

 

[wthorson]

Have fun on your holiday. I can't wait to see what shots you post when you get back.

My sister and I have been packing it in pretty tight these last few days. I've taken about 1000 photos, It's a beautiful part of Australia that she lives in. Can't wait to get home and look at my shots and pp them, but I am having fun. I'll need a holiday when I get back, I'm pretty weary

 

[wreckdiver1321]

Can't wait to see them!

231/365......outside the Broadwater Cane Mill.

That's my trusty Nissan Xtrail. It never faultered on the 1800km return trip to visit my family south of Sydney. I knew I would have limited opportunity to stop on the freeways to take shots even tho I pass some fantastic scenery.

 

[Lawrence]

Welcome back.
I'm looking forward to seeing the photos

A Nissan lady, as well as a Nikon lady? You, madam, have impeccable taste

It's just the run-around. I'm really a Land Rover fan

That's better!

I am a big fan of touring/overland vehicles. My personal 4x4 is what you folks know as a D40 Navara. I love it to death, but I would kill for a 110 with a Td5.

 

[Vixen]

Welcome back.
I'm looking forward to seeing the photos

I didn't take many (cough, cough)
