It’s been a while since I’ve used some of the extra features that RedBubble offer.
So I decided that I’d put together a 2009 Calendar for myself. It can be found in my online gallery < HERE >
If anyone is interested in having any 13 (one cover image and one for each month) of my images turned into a calendar feel free to e-mail me and I’d be happy to arrange the images as you like, so you can then order one from RedBubble direct.
Yesterday i was loaned a book by a family friend,
“EF Lens Work III, The Eyes of EOS”
it’s a publication by Canon, which details the entire EF lens range as well as a world of information including -Choices of lenses for different types of photography
-Full Technical specifications on the EF and EF-S lenses
-Theory of light including, reflection, refraction, optics and lens theory
-Construction and technical operation of the IS (Image Stabalisation) and AF (AutoFocus) systems.
There is also a downloadable version (in parts) available for those unaware of books!!
It can be found HERE
From what i’ve read so far, it’s a brilliant learning resource combined with an array of Canons marketing material. It is even very beneficial for the non-Canon users out there who would like a little more depth into the how and why’s of lens operation and science.
While on a lunchbreak at work i thought i’d take a leisurely walk around the local area with the camera and see if i could spot anything interesting worth shooting. I’m trying to expand my skills and process into architecture and after being inspired by some of Alex Wise’s, Balck and Whites (free plug!! you can find his blog on the sidebar over there >>>)
I saw some relatively interesting stuff, but the older buildings usually have a lot more character, and lend themselves to black and white a little more, due to the natural contrasts produced by their varying colours and textures. None moreso than Hobarts, Holy Trinity Church, which has recently fallen into disrepair with the sandstone begining to deteriorate, and evensome of the small spires falling to the ground below.

My father-in-law is a very creative and artistic fella when it comes to working with wood, and creating materpieces commonly referred to as furniture.
Altough he’s not working full-time at it anymore these days, he still finds time to knock up the odd coffee table, bookshelf, or entertainment unit.
He also built his son a wonderful “Rocking Motorbike” many years ago, and being a motorbike nut, it seemed logical that it would be based on his own motorbike at the time, a 1974 Norton.

Every now and then I have some free time after the sun has gone down, simply to wander around and see what looks good under moonlight or streetlights.
Tonight I was on my way to a mates place and saw the Tasman bridge against a wonderful dark-blue sky.
There was another person who arrived a minute after i’d setup the tripod and taken a couple of shots, who decided to try and take some photo’s of the same scene with a point and shoot and with the flash on.
I wonder how his turned out??
