When worked finished, I went for a run. I made it home just in time to grab the camera and take the kids to swim class. The light was fading fast, so while they were in the pool I wandered outside to take some snaps. Normally I have an idea of what I want to […]
Right now my ‘brownie’ is on charge, so next week this won’t happen (again). You see, I knew exactly what I wanted to photograph this week. But I didn’t think so far ahead to actually charge my remote for the camera so I could do some long exposures. I got 4 shots out of it […]
“Do you want to go for a walk after lunch?” “Yeah, sounds good.” Half an hour later “Actually we should go now.” Looks at watch 11:50 am. “Yeah ok.” It was overcast, with a little bit of misty rain. We hadn’t planned on going far, just a lap of Cato park. Coming through Central Park, […]
I was sitting at the leisure centre doing my knitting while waiting for Miles to finish his swim class. I look up and notice the sunset, it was stunning and wished I had the camera. Then it hit me, it was Tuesday and it was photo day. By the time I got home, the sun […]
With a day off in lieu, I knew exactly where I wanted to go for this weeks quest. Ideally, I would have like to have more cloud cover, so I could play with filters and do a long daylight exposure. Alas, that was not meant to be. There will be plenty more opportunities I know, […]
There were a lot of should of and could of with today photo. I could have taken I photo this morning, but I wanted a sleep in (rare), and make sure the kids got themselves ready for school. I should have taken a photo after I finished work, but I needed to get my run […]
The loss of daylight savings means there will be a few more night shots for my 53 Tuesdays project. I had to dust off the tripod for this one. With the Gift just days away, this week shot seemed fitting. The Stawell Gift entrance. Tuesday #16 Location: Stawell Gift Gates, Main St, Stawell Lens: 40mm […]
This morning I was hunting for the camera. I couldn’t find it, then it occurred to me that tom must have taken it for a job he was doing out of town. By the time I got home, I totally forgot about it. It was only because I was looking at my calendar that I […]
I was hoping to capture our (new) resident, a yellow tail black cockatoo. He flew over the house this morning with his mate, and a couple close behind him. Not only did I have the wrong lens on the camera, but he was also too quick for me, and alas, all I got was a […]
The 16km SAAC running event is the event of the season. This event is always a good foundation of how well you will perform in a half marathon. I remember the very first time I ran this event back in 2012 (it was a different course back then). It was my furthest event, but it […]
