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.

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.

Starshots.

Lately, Luke and I have been interested in the night sky. I want a telescope of some sort, and he’s been wanting to try photographing star trails. Star trail shots seemed like a fun way to get into it all, so last night I suggested we head out away from the light pollution of the city.

After a brief encounter with some cows, we ended up setting up right here. I was playing around with longer exposures all night (with varying results) and Luke set up a laptop to take a series (200) of shorter (15 second) shots. That took an hour, but it worked out quite nicely.

The other shots I found worthy of uploading are all here.

But they’re just weeds!

The weeds are in full bloom at Thrillmere. Luke calls them weeds, anyway. I’m not so sure of what a weed is. If the plant isn’t a pest, and is native, is it a weed just because you didn’t intentionally put it in that garden?

But we never actually intentionally put anything into the garden. Does that make it all weeds? Those kinds of questions are too hard for me to answer, but if you think the flower is pretty there’s another one in my photostream. (Note the Fluidr link I’m using now ).

Bettr.

The other day I discovered Fluidr. It’s a site built using the Flickr API as an alternative to the usual way of viewing photos. It’s designed to be easier and prettier than the usual GUI and I think it achieves this.
