fuzzy logic

I’ve been watching England steam roller Australia in the second Test of the Ashes series at Adelaide.  What a pleasure that is after last time over here and all the over confident jibes from the Aussies over the years. I’m not getting ahead of myself though, there’s plenty of cricket to play yet and things could easily turn around, but I’m sensing strength, patience…

More kite surfing

Yes, you might well be bored shitless of these posts by now, but I have more kite photos. It was blowing a hoolie yesterday so I popped down to Safety Bay (which I am told is one of the best freestyle kite surfing spots in the world) to see who was out.  It was high tide this time, so no toe nipping crabs.  And…

and there was more..

More Kitesurfing action from Safety Bay, Rockingham. Standing in the middle of the lagoon might be good for photos, but is also way too good for toe nipping crabs!

By ‘ek, it’s ‘ot (and more kite surfing)

It’s warming up nicely for the summer. 38 degrees today, which is starting to get to the level of heat you want to avoid. So I just had to stay in and watch the cricket instead. (c’mon England!!!) Its a hard life – the cold beers are purely medicinal. I did get up early today and mow the lawn before it got too hot…

learning to fly

I went to Shoalwater Beach the other weekend to see the kitesurfers in action as the wind was blowing and I thought I might get a few shots with the wide angle lens. Stupidly, I was wearing jeans, so I couldn’t get as close to the water as I would have liked – must remember to take shorts next time. Anyway, as usual, the…

Sydney

So, I got sent to Sydney. I wonder, is that a bit like being sent to an Australian version of Coventry? – (which by the way, if you’re not familiar with the expression – being ‘sent to Coventry is an ‘old’ English expression which means to be sent somewhere bad). All good fun you may think, I get to large it up on company…

Tuesdays on the beach

As luck would have it, I have to run big’un around on a Tuesday, so it means I get almost an hour of photography in before I have to collect her again. At the moment, that hour happens to be the golden hour just before sunset, which is awesome for photos. Last week, I took the old jetty shots and was pretty happy, so…

if at first..

..you don’t succeed, then try try try again. You may remember I took a few photos of the jetty (again) last week – well, I wasn’t happy with them, so I went out again last night to take some more My fave of the night: Same view, just a slightly different range of colours – I think this was a slightly longer exposure And…

I’ll spin you right round..

..like a record baby (only with a camera held out at arms length) I’ve seen these shots done a a few times, so I thought I’d give it a go. Set camera to have 1/4 to 1/2 second shutter, hold at arms length point at your head, spin around on an office chair, press the shutter, try not to look too much like an…

busy, like a fox

A rolling stone gathers no moss, as the saying (proverb?) goes, and this week, I am certainly free of mosses, lichens and any rock growing greenery – I’ve been out with the camera again.  I know, amazing, you’re all thinking – he never does that..  **rolls eyes** Anyway, dear readers (of which I have around 100 a day at the moment, apparently – feel…
