In the September school holidays last year, I took my two sons on a road-trip to
Cervantes for a few days. I am still catching up with post-processing photos
from last year, and have more photos from that trip to go through.
Here's a long exposure of the fantastic colours that showed up after sunset,
taken at one of the beaches in Cervantes.
The lone seagull posing on the jetty provides an interesting silhouette,
although he wasn't completely still for the 8 second duration of this photo.

Summer is definitely over in Australia, and the weather is (finally) cooling down
after a long hot summer.
That means nature photographers can look forward to the colours of autumn, when
the leaves turn red, orange and yellow, and provide some fantastic photography
opportunities.
I love the colours of autumn, and always try to find some time to
capture the colours with my camera.
To remind everyone (in the southern hemisphere) what they can look forward to,
here's a photo of an autumn leaf from last year, taken with one
of my favourite lenses, the
35mm f/2.

Although it seems like it was longer ago, it was only a week ago that I returned home from a week-long
training course in Canada.
I had one free weekend in Canada, and on the Saturday, I went for a drive
through Kananaskis.
Here's a photo of the side mirror of my rental car, showing the typical scenery in
the mountains.

I still have a back-log of photos from the last year or so that I am slowly working through.
Here's some photos of a lion at the Perth Zoo, taken in June last year.
Often the lions at the zoo are not too keen to pose for photographers, but
are sleeping in the back of the enclosure.
However, on this occasion, this male lion was lying on a rock, keeping an eye
on the zoo visitors, and cleaning his paws and face.
