ANZAC Day Dawn Parade 2010

Posted in Photography, tagged on April 25, 2010 | 1 Comment »

Today was my first Dawn Parade. I have said for a while it was something that I should do. After all, if a significant number of Australian and New Zealand service people can give their lives, the very least I can do is get out of bed at 4:15am to show my respect. I was [...]

The Headless Pelican

Posted in Animals, Photography, Travel, tagged , on April 4, 2010 | Leave a Comment »

The plan was to head to the Red Hill Brewery for lunch and a taste of some fine ale. The plan was thwarted by this thing called Easter. “We can get you a table at 2:00pm tomorrow” wasn’t really what we wanted to hear, but so be it. The dining rooms at three wineries down [...]

Mali – Melbourne Zoo’s New Baby (and Friends)

Posted in Animals, Photography, tagged , on April 2, 2010 | 3 Comments »

How stupid would I have to be, thinking that no one in Melbourne could be bothered going to the zoo on Good Friday! It’s been nine months since my last visit to the zoo. I wanted to see Mali, Melbourne Zoo’s new baby elephant. Mali was born on 16 January – you’ll find more details [...]

Melbourne Aquarium Trip

Posted in Animals, Photography, tagged on January 4, 2010 | 8 Comments »

Damn I had a great day today, on what I think was my fourth visit to Melbourne Aquarium (http://www.melbourneaquarium.com.au/). I love trying to take good animal photos. You’ll find other attempts in other posts in this blog. Unfortunately the aquarium always presents some significant challenges. One can’t use a flash because of the reflection off [...]

I’ve never tried action footy photos before, so took my camera over to Trevor Barker Oval today, to watch the Sandringham Zebras play the Frankston Dolphins. Here’s the pick of them.

Steamrail Trip To Seymour

Posted in Photography, Trains, Travel, tagged , on July 11, 2009 | Leave a Comment »

Alright, I admit it. I’m a train nut as well. About 12 months ago, Carol and I did a Steamrail Victoria trip to Seymour, with visits to three local wineries before the return trip. This was an absolutely fantastic day – Steamrail Victoria (http://www.steamrail.com.au) does a great job and deserves your support. Here’s some of [...]

Melbourne Zoo

Posted in Animals, Photography, Travel, tagged on July 10, 2009 | 4 Comments »

I love a zoo. Most importantly, I love going to zoos on my own. Why? Because it means I can spend as much time as I like looking at my favourite animals and getting the perfect photo. I can spend a good half to three quarters of an hour tinkering with settings on the camera [...]

Werribee Open Range Zoo

Posted in Animals, Family, Photography, Travel, tagged on June 7, 2009 | Leave a Comment »

We’ve had a couple of free tickets to the Werribee Open Range Zoo stuck on the fridge for a while. When we looked at them the other day, we realised they expired in a week or so, so decided to go and check it out today. I’d been to Werribee Zoo a couple of times [...]

Canada Retrospective (Part 3)

Posted in Photography, Travel, tagged , , , , on May 23, 2009 | Leave a Comment »

To recap, Part 1 saw Carol and me travel from Melbourne to Banff. Part 2 covered Banff to Calgary and has us in a cab to Calgary airport. The flight to Ottawa was uneventful although I get the feeling Air Canada saw us coming when we checked in. We got slugged $100 for excess baggage – [...]
