Lake Burley-Griffin, 10th May 2009











70's Jag - similar to the car Arthur Daley drove in Minder.

Lake Tuggeranong - 24th May 2009, the leaves on their last days before winter, against a diffuse sky caught my eye. I like this shot as is, and have resisted the temptation to view it in my favourite medium, black and white.

Sunny day at Ainslie. The beer kegs and sun bleached bench very fn Aussie.

Some more Autumn struck trees.

April 2009

Here are a few shots that I've taken in April.

Sat 4th April

Dickson Wed 8th

Good Friday - Korean Uniting Church in Braddon, ACT - the light on the front of the building caught my eye

Sat 18th - amazing thing about this shot was hand-holding the camera steady at 1/5th second exposure, unheard of eh...

Sun 19th - Lake Burley-Griffen

Mon 27th April - view across Molonglo Valley from Stockdale Drive, it was freezing and damp and damn windy and about to storm. You can see a sleet/rain shower about 2km into the distance.

My friend Richard liked this shot, he printed it for his fridge door, then, took a photo to show me.

Autumn time at Lake Tuggeranong

Almost perfectly still water for reflections.


Here is a side-view of Lake Tuggeranong's spillway - also see here.

I was aiming for a subtle b&w tonal sky similar to this U2 album cover.

Some random autumn leaves - look hard enough to see my tire impression in the first leaf set, I went 20 metres past before the lighting and photo-op registered in my mind. I reduced the chance for colour blowout in these shots by assigning a Joseph Holmes colour work space.

Civic 8th March 2009

Archway shot.


ICBM Archway.


Moment in time between friends.


A very cool guy.

Wed 18th March 2009 - Autumn Leaves, Dickson

I was actually running early for an appointment when I spotted these backlit leaves - approx 10.15am Summer time.

Lake Tuggeranong

Sunday 22nd Feb: Been a bit quiet on the photography front, busy with other things. Upgraded camera, here are some test shots.

Wall shots

These shots were completely opportunistic; the carpark where I was visiting was full, I ended up parking right next to this freshly grafitied courtyard wall.
