News and Updates

Well I haven’t been updating the blog much.. lol..

I will keep trying to fix that, first off I wanted to post up my first decent shot with my new Hoya ND400, 9 stop ND filter..

Happy New Year, I took this shot tonight in Sydney.. My resolution for 2010 is to update this site far more often

Well I am just processing my photos from todays trip to the Yarrangobilly Caves in the Kosciuszko National Park.. Freezing cold despite the burning hot 40c outside the caves..

Full series well be added to my Photo Gallery page in the next few hours, a sample shot is below.

If you are in Australia using iinet, I have written an application to help track your monthly usage. You can see the application and download it freely by following the link to “iiTracker Software” at the top of the page.

I have decided to break up the Travel category into different sub sections.. The first one is for Wilson’s Prom.. Just click through ‘photo gallery’ – ‘travel’ – ‘the prom’. I will be adding more sections over the next week..

Down at the docklands today to check out the winch king competition. Basically they have a very high speed winch which pulls a tow rope.. It pulls along a large pool up and over a jump ramp and rail, and then they drop into another pool of water on the other side…

Yesterday was Australia Day so I thought heading to the Southern Star Observation Wheel for the fireworks there would be a good change (from the city fireworks).

Big mistake, the fireworks were very small and it was impossible (at least from where I was set up) to get a good looking shot of the wheel and the fireworks in one. The fireworks where going off very low, barely half the height of the wheel itself..

Yesterday James and I went for a quick walk around the city (Melbourne)… I have a couple of shots I am adding to the Urban gallery and also a new gallery I will start called “Transport”.. But just to start with I have added two new images to the B&W gallery (indian and scooter), the later one is shown below…

EDIT: OK, I have also now added three images to the urban gallery. Twin Bikes, Graffiti Bin and Water Fountain.. The Graffiti Bin picture is posted below..

Just a sunset shot I took last night at Gerroa on the NSW South Coast.
