Happy New Year

Happy New Year! Here are a couple of shots I took whilst celebrating with friends......

Happy New Year~!!!!

Warrior Dash

Here are a couple of photos from the Warrior Dash.... I did not take these but all the same they are quite cool ....

Sydney....

Greek Festival

These are taken from the Greek festival that was held at West End in Brisbane, I have played around with these and put borders on them.

Ahhh the good ol government health insentive

I wonder wh she was thinking of while smashing the plates! My friend actually took this and had it on Macro ... so the focus is actually on the hat in-front!

Action shot, crushing grapes.... yup that's how wine is made people mmmmm

This is a view of South Bank, whist heading home on the Citycat Ferry

Just love the colours reflecting from the river, I didn't even have a stand to take this steady shot! Obviously didn't drink enough wine at the festival

Could not resist taking this, mmmm honey puffs!

Byron Bay - Australia

Sorry for the delay in posting, I have been learning Photoshop and was hoping to do some practicing with these pictures but I will do that later....

So, lets start......

I went down to Byron Bay as the sunsets sown there are amazing and it is one of my favorite places so I am proud of all the shots I have taken here!

This is on the way to Nimbin, I couldn't resist.... just love cows!

Here I tried to blur the background and focusing in on the bird sat on the line... I think it would have been better if I could have gotten a closer shot....

Just had to take this as although in Australia, looking at the lovely cart this you would think you were in Thailand!

I know this is a terrible shot, but just take a read.... hmmmmm I wonder what this person was on when they wrote this!

This was taken in the same place as the above (Nimbin Museum).... It was the craziest museum I have EVER been in! However love the old rustic colours in this photo.

Back in Byron Bay, just in time for the sunset.... I love how the light from the sun gives off the silhouette look... and I just love the silhouette of the person taking a photo right in the middle!

This is one of my favorite shots.... I took a few to capture this! 

Ahhhh the sunset! The sun is sooooo bright, the colours around the sun make it soooo warm!

This was taken the next day, I have played around with the colour for this to make it more vibrant, what do you think? I don't know if it makes the actual surfer look too dark....? 

Here is another, quite pleased with how the water has been captured, but again I prob should have focused in more on the surfer... what do you think?

This would have been better closer up, and maybe a couple of seconds after as this guy was falling off his surfboard ....

I need to work on how the light reflects on the water, but I thought I would give it a try.....

Tee hee, just couldn't resits!

A Visit to see Alyson, Chris and the big lad Harris

A small road trip to visit Alyson, Chris and their beautiful son Harrison. Today is the first test in my camera skills as taking photos of children can be tricky especially when crawling! Its hard to capture there attention, however  the lovely Harrison must take after his mum as he is a pro in front of the camera!

Watch it Mummy, in a couple of years the girls are going to be chasing him down the street!

And last but not least I couldn't resist getting a shot of these pups!

New Camera

OK so here we go.... yes I am a beginner, I have just bought my first SLR camera, Cannon 600D.  Very excited to start using it and would really appreciate the feedback to any pictures posted... Here is a pic of my camera... taken with my camera phone......
