This one’s trouble as well…
at least i got one ‘normal’ photo 🙂

EagleHawk Lookout
The ultimate lazy man’s sunrise session.
Literally park the 20 metres from this spot 🙂 I have never been to this spot before, however it is a good option if your tight on time and around this time of year the sun is rising directly over the three sisters. There are a bunch of trees which partially block the view but it could be worse 🙂

The Natural Handrail.
The path into the Grand canyon walk is full of beautiful little scenes, this was one of many, a great excuse to stop and let the legs recover 🙂

Although the cannibalism of the praying mantis may seem severe, it is thankfully brief. In other species, the female will slowly suck the life out of her partner over a period of decades.
This process is commonly called marriage.
I’ll let myself out.. and probably not be let back in…

Spider Moon.
No need to get up at sunrise and go for a walk in the bush to get a face full of spiders, I can now do it in the backyard with my new pal. SPider moon.
Thankfully after wearing his spidery buttcheeks more than once he decided to move his web out of the walkway onto the side of the garden which, conveniently placed him right in front of the moon the other night,
Its a bit harder than it looks to get the moon and the spider in the same shot (without compositing anyway) ya gotta line them up and then wait for the spider to stop moving around enough to et a sharp shot…and by that time the moon has moved.. 😉 I used a off camera flash ( on rear) as well which gives it the frontal lighting..
cool looking spider i reckon.

City on the sea.

Sunrise Rock.

It’s been a bit slow here lately…
Just like snails..
Surprisingly tho, when you actually sit and watch these dudes they move pretty quick, especially considering they ain’t got no legs and are running on a layer of saliva.

Fantastic Fungi.

Govetts Leap.
Thru the trees. I was steamin’ up the stairs to find a nice clear view of the valley but spotted this nice gap which kinda worked well with the trees and the light was still nice…

Why do mushroom children behave so well?
They don’t want to get in truffle.
some one tell my kids that…
last fungi for awhile I promise 🙂

Pandanus.
My little old weathered pandaus tree, I reckon i have photographed every angle on this little guy, however this time I tried a different composition with the tanin stained creek in the foreground and super wide, more that 180 degree field of view.

Lightning
Walking back along the beech there was heaps of lightning action off in the distance – at 35mm i did not have much chance but I did sit here and take a couple of longish 4 minute exposures, oddly enough, one did capture a nice bolt, even if it was a long way away – probably a good thing 🙂 Knowing my luck i would get nailed 🙂

Don’t post anything about Australia day 🙂
the rage is well alive with the keyboard warriors 🙂

The blocker.
There is always one.
