Autumn Flowers
Hi everyone. This week I’m sharing some flower images from my garden. It’s been a wet (and suddenly cold!) April in Canberra but I have managed to get out few times to photograph. I’m keeping the weekly blogs going for now, but I’m going to start needing serious input into what you’d like me to…
Thirlmere Festival of Steam 2023 – Part two
Continuing last weeks entry on my trip to the Thirlmere Festival of Steam 2023, this week I share my photos and discuss things in Thirlmere itself. The photos are all related to the Festival of Steam, but I do include a few other observations on getting coeliac-friendly food in Thirlmere. See Part One here. Other…
Thirlmere Festival of Steam 2023 – Part One
I enjoyed my trip to Thirlmere last year, so this year I reprised the visit. This time around I had the eldest Sprite along for the trip and he took photos and video from the trip as well (using my gear, of course!). I’ll leave him to make his own social media comments on the…
Another trip to Mittagong
On the weekend of 18/19 March 2023, I again went to Mittagong. Actually I stayed in Bowral this time, but pretty much the same. First a few observations from the trip, and then on the the actual reason for travelling – the Thirlmere Festival of Steam. The opening photo (taken on my phone) is a…
My Photography Journey – Part 2
The Digital Era (early) The great thing about the digital cameras – at least for people like me who are fascinated with the numbers – is that I have a quick and easy way to count how many images I have, and in the most part can tell roughly how many images in total the…
My photography journey – Part 1
The pre-digital story I thought I would do a little bit on my journey through photography. At least to the extent that journey is documented by my gear, anyway. So, this is part 1, looking at my pre-digital forays into the photographic arts. I’ll do part 2 in a later week. My first camera My…
Another trip to the Zoo
In April 2022, my daughter and I spent another day at the National Zoo and Aquarium. As usual, I took lots of photos. This was before I got the new camera, so these photos are all taken on the Pentax K-S2 20MPixel camera. The blog post on the previous trip can be found here: Previous…
Think about the numbers
This week, a little more of a thinking post. Ranty, a little, perhaps. Let me talk through some numbers I heard about today, and why they were true… but also completely false. Lies, Damn Lies, and Statistics I don’t know who the origin of that quote was. No doubt someone famous, if for no other…
Red Hill, Canberra
I’m coming to you this week from Red Hill. I come up here quite regularly. In previous years, I’ve been a regular up here for walking during the daylight savings months, as I have an hour and a half to spend not far from here, one night of the week, waiting for one of my…
An explore at the National Arboretum
It’s probably going to appear here a few times, but I was at the Arboretum again last weekend. A photographer friend runs monthly photo walks, and this months walk was supposed to be on Sunday. The weather wasn’t looking good first thing in the morning so she cancelled. I had a look at the forecast,…
