because of the commonwealth games that are about to finish here in melbourne they put a whole heap of fish in the yarra. no not real ones, they wouldn't last the 2 weeks but artworks on pontoons. every night they are lit up and every hour they have a sound and light show. they look pretty cool though.



	every country in the commonwealth has his own fish

i'm just getting over a case of the flu/cold. today is a beautiful day and the bees are busy. time to try out my camera in macro mode. macro mode doesn't work very well for bees. they are too fast so sports mode is a lot more appropriate. a few more photos here

portsea again

Sat, 25 Feb 2006 03:08:05 GMT

it was northerly but the swell was pretty small so we ended up surfing portsea again. 2-3 foot fun waves. better than mowing the grass in the backyard (which desperately needs mowing). lee, roh and me.

HDR 2

Sat, 18 Feb 2006 07:50:05 GMT

i ended up buying on of the HDR programs after comparing the build in photoshop plugin with the results of this version. already i noticed that this is not a technique that you can apply to any situation. some of the results of indoor photos just look rediculous. the outdoor ones have a special feel to it.

HDR

i always wondered why even the cheapest digital camera has a bracketing function (you know where it will take a photo on normal exposure, one on a higher exposure and one on a lower exposure). i think i figured it out :) together with something called High Dynamic Range (HDR) processing even a simple backyard photo becomes something special.

looked around a bit, st. andrews and gunna was too messy, spooks wasn't working but portsea was a lot cleaner. 4 foot. leroy, roh and me.

australia day weekend

Fri, 27 Jan 2006 13:00:21 GMT

thursday was australia day so we went for a surf. ended up at st. andrews where the swell was big but still good fun. we then decided to stay around for an arvo surf. unfortunately the swell came up a bit and the tide was wrong. it took me 10 minutes to paddle out, 40 minutes to not catch a wave and then 30 minutes to try to paddle back in against the rip. did see a dolphin surfing through the wave and made us look silly.



	st. andrews on thursday

we stayed around for friday as well. st. andrews was out of control so we headed to pt. leo. alost caught a big kangaroo with the car along the way.

did get a nice surf at point leo. today was still a warm day and after a thunderstorm went past the cicada's started up. if you never heard cicadas make their noise then it is a bit hard to describe how loud they are, so here's a little bit of sound i recorded with my telephone.. and you can never find these little insects even if you are standing right on them. all in all a pretty good australia day weekend.. and the weekend hasn't even started yet :)

it's a good country..

thunderstorm

Sat, 10 Sep 2005 00:22:59 GMT

yesterdays evenings thunderstorm was a spectacular one. i took my camera, set the aperture to the smallest opening and the exposure to 30 seconds and waited. these are the two best ones that i captured but i missed the biggest (and loudest) one. still not bad because i took the 30 second exposures without a tripod.



	it was completely dark besides the lighting flashes



	a bit over exposed, but at least you can see the lightning bolt.
