Well it was great to get that Storm on Saturday even though I lost power for a few hours. Unfortunately I wasn’t able to get the camera out in it for the most part, but there were scenes similar to this shot taken a while ago.
Through the Pane…
Not being one to appreciate over 26 degree temperatures, I’d much rather be looking at this outside my Study window again…
Looking Back…
I remember when I first bought this Sigma 50mm F1.4 lens, and was quite excited with the possibilities. I found this old shot from about 18 months ago taken while on a random walk. Quite nice for handheld which I learned was quite a challenge with this lens at the wide open apertures!
Back into the Archives…
Bit too hot here to be outside shooting, but it did encourage me to have a session of cleaning up the catalogue. Found a couple of early shots I quite like, and cleared out some I don’t consider worth keeping now. Looking at the early shots, there’s no doubt that more Mega Pixels helps when you are Macro Shooting and also want to crop it in a bit more after.
I’ve also chosen to move the watermark to the centre based on what I’ve seen on other sites, hopefully it’s not too distracting now that it’s in the centre.
Not a Teddy Bear Picnic…
One of the great things about living on a bush block is the wonderful critters that decide to just drop in a stay a day or two. A couple of times a year I get a Koala or two squatting for a few days. This evening I managed to get quite close to this one. I can’t yet tell the difference between the sexes, but she has either been mating, or he has been fighting!
I Spy with My Eight Eyes…
I just never cease to be fascinated by Spiders. They’re everywhere (well except the arctic & antarctic).
Another Day Done…
There are days where it’s just a case of too much adventure: Chemoux found herself stuck up on top of the cubby in the backyard and nothing to do but watch the sunset! Life really is tough for a Furbag sometimes.
Balmy Evening…
There’s no doubt that pets are a constant source of inspiration, and there’s nothing like a Furbag in the late spring or early summer evenings. Full of energy and curiosity.
Just a Drive in the Rain…
I’d intended to take a drive to check out a track in the Bungal Forest recommended in “150 Walks in Victoria”, but decided the day was a bit too wet to go further on in there. So I settled for a reconnoitre for a future visit and a drive about the area looking for some shots.
Most of the afternoon the rain was a bit too heavy for me to pull out the gear, although I got a few shots out the window. However it did ease off enough at a couple of stages for me to take a few shots. Most won’t make the grade in the end, but I did like the Hayshed in the accompanying image for this post.
I also have some spots picked for the return drive another weekend.
