Painting Photoshop Style

Decided I would have some fun painting after a long night of editing weddings.
Here is the result. What do you think? Did I go too far?

My favorite wildlife image… until I take the next one!

Ask yourself the question…what is in your backyard….If you have any wildlife where you are why not take a shot of it and post it! I would love to see it.

Back from Geraldton

 

 

 

 

In my previous post I set myself a challenge to get a few specific shots while I was in Geraldton.

RESULT!!! Stay tuned tomorrow morning for another shot.

Africa – Barn Owl

Another image I took on my last visit to South Africa.  BIF BIF!!!!

Enjoy

Burchells Zebra

Hasn’t time flown? Since before the Easter break I have been madly redeveloping our backyard.  Caroline and myself have decided to go all eco. Raised veggie beds, chooks and new plants (including retic) all have to go in! So that is why you haven’t seen many photos for a while.  Bruised and sore from all the soil shifting and construction I have managed another African image for you all.

I’m off to the Hunter Valley (NSW) tomorrow so if my wireless works you may see a few images while I’m over there!

Until then,

Happy shooting.

White Rhino

I remember being so scared on this day. These two HUGE White Rhinos decided to walk a little bit to close to my car. With horns as big as my arm these animals can do serious damage.

As they came close my instant reaction was to put my camera and lens inside the car while staying perfectly still.  For a good 20 minutes they both just stood near the car. I heard each giant breath exit their mouths and the sound  seemed to be coming closer. My legs were shaking now! I was thinking just how fast is this car?

If I turn the key will I have enough time to get away, then I remembered that they can run 60km/h!  I couldn’t start the car or they would charge.  I would be crushed for sure!

I braved the risk of being crushed alive to get some shots (as any photographer would). This one was before I put my camera away! After about 20 minutes of what seemed to be a staring contest they moved on. Each THUD was felt as their feet hit the ground with weight as they walked passed the rear of my car.

All I can say is that I’m glad I got the shots!

Got to love Africa hey?

Lilac Breasted Roller


Crab

Something about this image grabs my attention. I think it is the clear blue water in the background.  I was keen to get out and about and try my new 400mm f5.6 L lens. I’m planning to take this lens to Africa – September next year. Can’t wait!
