Tuesday 12th August, 2008

"Been pretty cold here, maybe not quite UK proportions, just cold. Was off work today, so I set out to take a landscape photo that had a UK countryside/winter feel, the lighting was pretty challenging and perhaps the backdrop too mountainous, humour me."

This image was taken from Uriarra Road.

Shot on a freezing day at Harrison.

Lemons in mid winter?

Wednesday 9th July, 2008 - Ahem, my neighbour's cat

Sunday 15th June, 2008 - Kingston Markets

Brick wall shots were taken for Windows wallpaper.


Comments about this image range from "wow!" to "yuck" to "planet earth?" to "looks like a prison". Well, MH, it is the Old Bus Depot at Kingston, drenched in brilliant sunlight, followed by a little colour temperature handywork.

Saturday 24th May, 2008 - Lake Ginninderra

Lake Ginninderra in late Autumn.





And back again a few days later....

Sunday 11th May, 2008 - Pumpkins

Thursday 24th April, 2008 - Olympic torch relay in Canberra

Northbourne Avenue as the Olympic torch had passed by on the opposite side. The horizontal guy was fine, physically.

Saturday 12th April, 2008

The intention was fine, go to footy and see Ainslie v. Eastlake; till I spotted this classic Aussie Torana/environment killer.

Sunday 30th March, 2008


Okay, a new camera that shoots RAW format though had forgotten to set it properly for these images - they are sourced from hi-res JPEG.

In this shot, I wanted to emulate the 60s Western movies look, thinking of scenes from For A Few Dollars More or Two Mules For Sister Sara.



And another scene that stood out in late afternoon sunlight.

Sunday 24th February, 2008 - Lake Tuggeranong

Sunday 3rd February, 2008 - My hillclimb road


Wheel 800m up the road from the turning area and head back down for a hectic ride.

Sunday 27th January, 2008

Between Hall and Murrumbateman - taken approx 6pm, light presented a strong challenge.

Tuesday 8th January, 2008


I was intent on taking an award winning Murrumbidgee River photo, this shot of an exposed cutoff log ended up the pick of the day. Yes Photoshop layers were involved.


Wednesday 2nd January, 2008 - Mtn Creek Road

This area had a look of western NSW, the hillside red soil and gravel road traced by grass. It was about 35 degrees with a slight heat haze.

Saturday 15th December, 2007 - JJJ

What?

Saturday 1st December, 2007 - McCarthey Road

This is a great location to relearn a past art. The occasional concerned by-passer my only interruption, a few reassuring words from me that I am okay and all is fine.

Crossover layers of foreground and hills in the background offer a sense of three dimensionality.... I think.

Thursday 22nd November, 2007 - Just about to rain...


... and it did. Mt Ainslie on a damp November afternoon.

I used a vertical gradient in Photoshop to accentuate the cloud effect, as exposing for land caused slight washing out of the deep grays.
