I got filters.
It’s been forever since I posted. Here’s an image I took after a fairly disastrous trip to Coolum with Luke.
It’s not a great image (and colour tuning was done on my laptop screen), but it holds the dubious distinction of being the first image shot using my new H250 Cokin filter kit.

Lrn2HDR.
It’s not often I get to drive through my hometown of Buderim. I took my brother back there today to visit a little nature reserve called Buderim Forest Park with our cameras. Mosquitoes notwithstanding, it was (and still is) a really nice area.
Since I was playing around with different exposure settings in my camera, [...]

Casino by night.
I gave my brother a tripod for his birthday, then took him out to teach him how to use it. This is one of my photos – the Treasury Casino in “green mode”.

Dark Sky Observing outside Brisbane.
A week ago I bought a small telescope to indulge my childhood dreams of backyard astronomy. Within three nights, just sitting in my backyard, I’d seen Mars, Saturn, the Orion Nebula and managed to identify a handful of constellations and bright stars. Last night, I took advantage of the new moon and went out to [...]

A Drive in the Countryside.
Today I got bored and went for lunch up in the Glasshouse Mountains. Nice drive (though a bit warm) and a nice lunch at The Glasshouse Mountains Lookout Cafe. Of course, I took my camera, though I’m not overly pleased with this set of pictures. Check ‘em out in my photostream, if you like.

Australia Zoo Redux – A Family Affair.
Last Sunday was spent with my family and Anja at Australia Zoo. I’d promised them all a trip to the Zoo as a christmas present and it was timed to coincide with my youngest niece’s 1st birthday. Last time I was at the Zoo (with Luke), I didn’t have a 200mm zoom lens. This time, [...]

Road Trip.
Went for a drive to Woodford (along the Mt Mee tourist drive) with Anja today. It was nice to go out through the mountains when they’re green. Here’s a pic of Anja looking out towards Mt Tibrogargan (slighty off to the right of the shot) from the Mt Mee Lookout.

Token update!
I haven’t really done anything worth posting lately, but I feel bad for basically ignoring this blog. So I’m going to post one of Anja’s pictures. A while ago my sister requested our help in putting together a DVD of her two little girls to send over to the girls’ grandparents in Spain. That meant [...]
