Another image processed in +Nik Photography CS6 plugin, was considering going BW for this one, however the polarised blue sky and electric grass (don't look too hard at that;) ) got me over the colour line.
One of my favourite seats atop a old rubbish tip – a prime example of how our society/councils can transform wasteland into useable, safe spaces for the community.
Steps into the unknown, not a pool i would like to take a dip in, one of the many ocean bathes dotted along the sydney coastline.
Taken on a day where the surf was wild and the pool was pumping, D7000, Tokina 11-16mm f/2.8 Aperture: f/13 Shutter Speed: 140s

Nestled into a little corner on the South Coast is a sleepy little suburb called Wombarra which has a sneaky little secret – this delightful little rock shelf. Although, it is like walking on a ice rink 😉 Its also delightfully green, my favorite seascape colour 🙂
Nikon D7000, Tokina 11-16mm f2.8, Single frame, Aperture: f/9.5 Shutter Speed: 3s. Composed and shot purely for the tentacles of water receding back into the ocean.
A great location for a soul restoring interaction with nature coupled with a smattering of photography 🙂

So I am sitting here at some ungodly hour of the morning again, typing with one had, rocking a 4 month old with the flu to sleep who every time i make eye contact with simply starts to smile, doesn't she know its time for sleep? 🙂
Anyway, no point wasting time, one hand on the rocker means the other hand can be editing pictures :), hence, I edited up a picture from the other month, a pano image with a difference, this one was actually made up from 5 vertical images stitched together, each image was at 11mm , i never really expected it to work but gave it a run anyway. I also bracketed the images, but only used a single exposure from each. With the sun just ready to peek over the clouds there was enough suppression in the dynamic rangle to get away with just the graduated filter.
Thankyou to you all who comment and plus my posts, I do appreciate it even if I do not reply to every comment 🙂

There are days in life where you feel like you are this small and the world out there is like a massive washing machine waiting to sweep you away.
View large to see the impact on the little 'ol tree standing courageously on the hill in path of some very menacing cloud formations.
Located in some nondescript paddock south of Lake Burrendong. Taken with a now broken 85mm lens at f8 with about 4 or 5 shots stitched together, processed in a way to aacentuate the clouds and desaturated to let the texture and composition speak louder than the colours, which incidentally were actually quite spectacular as well.
I appreciate the comments that people leave and I welcome any suggestions, comments and improvements to my photography, they are always warmly welcomed!
Its really great to see more and more of these gracing the air over our cities, whilst it does look like a short fat whale I am sure the stretched version will appear more proportionate and be even more pleasing to photograph.
It was definitely a great day for fly when this image was taken, clear blue skies and not a hint of haze in the air, makes me wanna go flying 😉
I love singular trees on hills, they make such interesting subjects.
Processed using Nik's silverfex, a very handy quick and dirty BW processor.

Unknown Falls – the waterfall into the ocean.
On this particular day I was standing on the edge of some impressive rocks with the nearest civilization over 15 kilometres away, my thoughts cleared with the ocean wind that came close to blowing me over, nothing left between the ears after that 😉
Another amazing location which is situated a short drive from Sydney and provides countless locations for the aspiring nature photographer and outdoor types, i shall return, shortly 🙂

Subtle, saturated colours, great water flow and wet feet, all make for a fun sunrise session.
Manually blended a couple of shots to achieve that extra bit of light on the rocks and also compensate for the bright sky.

Bro's always watch their mates back while a dude's trying to chill 🙂
Probably one of the easiest and pleasurable animals at Taronga Zoo +Taronga Zoo to photography – they are always active (even if ones taken a chill pill) and its a great enclosure where you can see them up close.
I think one often assumes that because someone is by oneself that they must be lonely – i guess in this instance i initially used the word lonely merely to describe the fact he was the only one on the beach (excluding me).
There is something refreshing and soul rejuvenating about being by oneself, to enjoy the thoughts, the sounds of the location and the isolation – for me, its a great way to recharge the batteries, ready for another week of chaos, people and life in general.
Taken with the venerable 105mm f2.5 nikkor, a lens that cost me less than 200 bucks and seems to please me more that a 1000 dollar lens 🙂
Monochrome Tree
for so many reasons.
Always walk on the right side of the pipe, i am sure i can credit that to some Aesop fable i read recently 😉
we warmed up to the idea after awhile and got some giggles…
just a couple of old birds at Taronga Zoo – they are getting on in age but are still very colourful and beautiful. They can be found in the Rainforest Aviary, be sure to pay the a visit if you go there 🙂
