The Narrows Bridge and South Perth, digitally tilt-shifted to make it look like a miniaturised model.
On the lower left is the Narrows Bridge over the Swan River, with the Kwinana Freeway snaking its way into the distance on the right hand side. Note that you should view the large version (by clicking on the image below) to properly appreciate the tilt-shift effect.

I found this mushroom in the back yard recently, and decided to try some photos
from a low angle. This photo was my pick of the photos I took.
To get this shot, I was lying on the ground in front of the mushroom, with the camera resting on the ground.

This little fellow was found on a
huge log
in a commemorative park in Jarrahdale, called the Centenary log.
Apparently the log is there to commemorate 100 years of logging in the Jarrahdale area.

Comet McNaught was discovered
by Robert H McNaught on 7 August 2006, and was the brightest comet in over 40 years,
being visible in the Southern Hemisphere in January and February 2007.
I can remember the excitement when Halley's Comet, visible every 75 years, was in our skies. Because comet viewing is a rare occurance (there's not too many comets that are visible to the naked eye), I wanted to be sure to capture some photos of Comet McNaught.

When driving somewhere near Busselton, we came across this old shack, and I
had to stop and take some photos.

These photos were taken while recently on holidays in Busselton.
Busselton is home to the longest wooden jetty in the Southern Hemisphere, and apparently the 2km-long jetty is one of the most photographed man-made structures in Western Australia. The photos below are not of this famous jetty. They are of a small jetty that is approximately 100m east of the famous jetty. I'm sure this small jetty isn't way as popular with the photographers, but the colours and lines appealed to me.

I live in Western Australia, and use a Canon DSLR camera and Canon lenses. I have been actively pursuing digital photography as a hobby for a number of years, progressing through various digital cameras (with each subsequent camera being more expensive than the previous one as I invested more money into photography). While I've had photos available in my gallery for a while, this blog will provide me with a mechanism to share some of my photos, and provide some commentary on those photos. Feel free to respond to blog posts via the comments facility displayed under each post. Due to the high likelihood of receiving spam comments, I've enabled moderation on the comments, so they will not appear immediately, but must first be approved by myself.
