A couple of weeks ago I took a little bush walk in Sherbrooke Forest near my home. I came back with a number of fantastic photos however, viewed individually or one after the other, they lost some of their appeal and magic. Last week I experimented with uploading an image a day with a one [...]
I’ve had a computer melt down. My main computer’s power supply turned off the lights and now no one’s home. The laptop had a failing HDD. I replaced the HDD in the laptop but had to leave the big computer with someone else to repair the power supply. After replacing the laptop HDD I’ve had [...]
We were called back home because of a serious bushfire threat. All the way home on the drive from the city, a large smoke plume was visible. Luckily the plume indicated the fire was headed south, the opposite direction from our home.
At last, we made it home and sat on the ridge watching the fire burn [...]

Chica posts a Photo Project each week on her Photo Projectz blog. They are always challenging and often inspiring. At any given time I have a couple of her projects in the works (like the day in the life one). This week she suggested:
“shoot a photograph with something that upside down in it, or you [...]
Not only was there a rainbow outside the kitchen window, there was even the end of a rainbow! This image has no photo editing tricks. That’s the bonafide end of a rainbow. However, I can now pretty much rule out the whole ‘Pot of Gold’ myth
On my last day of holiday, I decided to take a solitary photo safari. Not far from my house there’s a great little historic steam railway that runs through the Dandenong Ranges, the Puffing Billy. I took a stroll down the tracks of the Puffing Billy knowing that at some point, I’d meet the steam [...]
