Christmas

Although tricky to photograph I am sorta pleased with these two photos.
Just want to get out there and try, try, try again.

This is going to be my favourite topic ever,

Memorial Park

I went to the park on a sunny day and and my shots were useless. The next time I went it was a wet day and I struggled to get any shots at all. So I decided to try to experiment with the rainy shots afterwards at home using just one photograph and zooming and cropping.

Rain on Step at Memorial Park

While at Memorial Park I took a bunch of shots of the water-ski event from the park riverbank. This is the best of them.

Close Up Man-Made

I took all of these shots and the following post shots using my little point-and-shoot camera as it had a better macro facility than my DSLR.

All these shots were taken within 100m of my house.
