Window light

There is something about the light that comes from a window. I believe a number of photographer's recommend window light over flash for portrait photography. This was a chance capture, but possibly illustrates the point.
I also wish my camera bag wasn't in this particular shot, but ah well.

Bird play

Thanks to Jenn, Carlos and Gabriel (and of course the bird!) for a wonderful evening.

China Town

One or two shots from the streets of China Town - Sydney.
In both shots I was making use of my new Canon Speedlite - 430EX II. I wish I could tell you what settings I was using, but I was slightly caught up in the moment. Still, the images seem to suggest that this unit is going to open a pandora's box of opportunity when it comes to taking photos, and night photos in particular.

Taronga

I don't think I have a future in wildlife photography, but I couldn't resist taking a snap or two of these stunning animals.
In all honesty, I'm not the greatest fan of Zoos, but I am led to believe they do outstanding conservation work and Taronga Zoo is no exception. Taronga also has an outstanding backdrop and environment for the animals to wander and play. The Kangaroos, for instance, happily mingle with the crowds!
 Still, there were occasional sad sights of captivity and a few of the animals seemed in real distress.

Evening walk: Bondi

A few captures from an evening walk around Bondi, but two clear mistakes ...
1. On Bondi Lifesavers: I should have been crouched where you can see the other photographer to the right of the frame. Why? Smiley faces and the sun pointing in the right direction. Next time.
2. Bondi Panoramic: Great light for a twilight shoot. Still, a tripod would have nailed this, not to mention a higher aperture! Next time.
