In a potentially vain attempt to improve my photography I took the Australian Centre for Photography’s introductory Camera Craft One course. I enjoyed it, learnt a lot and, at least it appeared to me, my photography did improve. If you’re considering taking a course, I’d recommend this one.
At the end of each term at the [...]
I’ve stopped posting my photos on my blog, they go straight to my Flickr.com feed now. It’s just easier to post to and have the photos look reasonable. Sorry Google, but Picasa just isn’t there yet!
Anyway, here’s my feed: overwatering.
And here some recent sets of photos that I kind of liked. Follow the photos for [...]
This mega-yacht, Apoise was moored in front of the Park Hyatt at Circular Quay over New Year’s; they would have had a pretty good view of the fireworks.
Apoise is 67m long, which just pushes it out of the top 50 yachts in the world; the shortest yacht on that list is 72m. It’s impossible to tell who owns Apoise. The [...]
Just a random set of photos from Darwin, while there over Christmas 2007
First, three photos looking off the Dripstone cliffs at Casurina beach. This was not a particularly low tide.
I was impressed by the growth in Darwin city; it feels like a very vibrant centre.
Darwin Wharf for a casual dinner of fish [...]
Our family moved to Darwin in mid-1986, after migrating from Wellington, NZ to Katherine in May of that year. Sometime between my birthday (5th December) and Christmas we moved into 4 Cunjevoi Cres, Nightcliff. I can’t remember exactly when; I was young. From then on, my Dad worked on improving the house and garden. Over the next fourteen years the [...]
As you walk around an inner city suburb with high apartment buildings, you may see many balconies with pot plants sitting on the ledges. You may also wander if those pots ever fall onto the street below.
The answer is yes, yes they do.
This is another photo from the large [...]
Across the road from our building is another old warehouse converted into apartments: one of the Mark Foys buildings. This is not the original store, that’s now the Downing Centre. This is the brownstone Mark Foy warehouse.
It’s a very large building, with a lot of apartments in it. Lots of apartments means lots of ’stuff’ going on. A recent trick has [...]
Back in October last year, we spent a weekend at Sydney’s Observatory Hotel for our anniversary. A very nice weekend; their restaurant (Galileo) is highly recommended.
Here are just some random photos from spending time wandering around Miller’s Point, Walsh Bay and looking off the balcony of our room.
Funny story: the weekend was kind of a present from me, [...]
We moved to Sydney at the beginning of 2007. This city is quite renowned for a reasonably good fireworks show on a pretty nice harbour for New Year’s Eve, and as everyone agreed that you need to spend your first Sydney New Year’s down on the harbour, that’s where we went.
We got to Milson’s Point at about 9pm, [...]
Some places and people really ain’t worth remembering, but hey! At least I got some cool time lapse photos out of it…
Kind of a symbolic progression, actually.
