the 12 apostles - B & W

Today we went down to the 12 Apostles - the coast line down there is just spectacular. Unfortunately the light wasn't great and it was really hazy, so I thought I would have a play with converting them to B&W. This is only about an hour from where I live. The original plan was to get some sunset shots, but we got sidetracked sight seeing.

This next one is just my crazy boy - I was trying to take a photo of my two girls and then this little head pops up into the view finder. I ran a lomo action on it just for fun.

Fireworks over the Speedway

A few weeks ago I took some photos of the fireworks over the local speedway. All the parts of this image were taken on the same night, just not necessarily all in one shot. The speedway with the lights on is one shot. Each fireworks burst is a separate shot. The green one was pink, but I already had a pink so I changed the colour. The moon shot was taken looking in the opposite direction, but i thought it was a nice addition. There was a thunder storm in the distance behind the fireworks and I did manage to capture one lightening shot, but the pic looked a bit over the top (well more so) with it added.

Little toes

Doing the Tara Whitney thing here.

seagulls

Okay, so they are just seagulls, but I kinda like them. Shane hates them. I keep setting them up as our computer background just to annoy him. I might do a whole series just on seagulls.

Dancers

These are a couple of photos I took a few weeks ago. The first one was taken at a local Highland Dancing competition. My daughter is the one in pink. The second one was taken at a Portuguese festival. I wanted to capture the colour and movement of the dancers. It was a really sunny day so I have to use a polariser to try and get a longer shutter speed. I really like this one.
