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,…
I’m BACK!
Hello! Yes, I am back. The Uni year is finished, and in fact the entire degree is finished. My time is now much freer than it was – and I’m at a bit of a loss about what to do next. More study isn’t out of the question, but I have spoken to a couple…
Been busy, sorry
Hi everyone. This is just a quick post to reassure you all that I am still alive. July and August have been busy, and September will be fairly busy too. I just have not had the time or the brain space to pull together posts every week. Sorry for that. Uni stuff This semester at…
A trip to Sydney… (almost)
Multi-part blog – 29 June 2022 – Introduction This week, I decided to make a trip to the outer edge of Sydney. The NSW Rail Museum in Thirlmere were running their Annual Steam Festival (postponed from earlier in the year), and I wanted to photograph that. However, I’ll leave my discussion of that until another…
