Phoney Photo Pile #2
Here’s the second lot, I honestly didn’t think I would get to the end of a month doing this but what do you know? It seems easier than I gave it credit for being. I know – famous last words!

Macro madness
I was a bit bored while waiting in the hairdresser’s this morning for my new colour to set and so I had a quick flick through Flickr on my mobile. And what should I see but Leigh giving me a dig about how she hadn’t seen any evidence of me using my new macro lens. [...]
New lens! WOOT!
I hate to admit it but I usually do anything to avoid answering the door. Random people dropping in has a tendency to annoy me so I figure unless someone has made an appointment, I’m just not answering that knock on the door. The only exception to the rule is Australia Post deliveries and couriers, [...]
Talk to the paw!
It’s only when I go sifting through my hard drive that I realise just how many photos I’ve taken of the cats. Over the last 2yrs, I’ve accumulated around 1200 shots of passable quality. Thanks to the digital age, I’m not forced to choose one shot over another to put in an album. Now that [...]
Let's just call it personal development…
As part of my remuneration package, I get a professional development bonus to use for continuing education expenses. If you don’t use it by the end of two years, they pay it out minus the tax of course. Of course, I could use it for a conference or perhaps for continuing education since they’ve paid [...]
Phoney Photo Pile #1
So the first fortnight (plus a bit) is over and I’ve still managed to take my photo a day. Woot! I might even last longer than I did at the last 365 challenge. I put my little collage together and then realised that I didn’t put them in the right order that they were taken. [...]
My “miracle a week”
At work, we often talk about getting our “miracle a week”, or at least that’s our aim. Being the last week of the year, I was dubious that I would be able to take a photo of this particular miracle in time for it to be one of my 52 Blessings. At the end of [...]
Loving my DSLR!
One of the best things I love about my DSLR is the ability to take shots in JPEG and RAW to edit them once I’ve downloaded them. Because I’m still coming to grips with the higher functions of the 40D, the post production editing software has proved very useful. I love how with the software [...]
I’m dreaming of a clear, sunny Christmas
Some of you might have read about Leigh’s stance against the promotion of snow related Christmas products in Australia a few weeks ago. Personally, I’m all for getting rid of the notion of a white Christmas in Australia. With the exception of hail storms and freak summer snow falls in the mountain ranges of Victoria [...]
Sing us a song, Piano Man!
Forget Christmas. Last night was what I was looking forward to the most in December. Ironically, I would have missed out on it all if not for my sister’s mistake in booking tickets. I had no idea he was coming, given I live securely under a rock when it comes to that sort of thing. [...]
