Hey Hey Hey. I'm BACK!

Well, well well, it's good to be back.

As promised from my post in early July here are some of my photographs from the shoots I took in the winter time here in Canberra.

During the break in between semesters I was able to spend a few full days travelling around Canberra scouting for some good shots and obviously capturing some spur of the moment stuff in the process.

I visited the lakes mainly. I still feel that you can't beat water in a photo. There is just something, pure, about a body of water in a photograph.

This was taken from Regatta Point in Commonwealth Park looking south across the lake.

Another day I went out on my bike to Lake G, as the locals call it. It is in Belconnen in the northern part of Canberra. I used to live about 100 steps from the foot bridge you see in the image, in the days when I lived on university campus.

This photo was taken from the other end of the lake. It is about 7km if you wanted to walk around it.

Canberra always has a lovely evening. There have been times when, riding home from uni and looking up at the sky, with all the beautiful colours, I have wished my bag was full of good photography equipment and not chemistry texts.

Moruya River

I recently went down the coast again to photograph some locations for my mum. It sounded like a good idea for me; get away home for a few days, catch up with some people, eat home cooked food, and do some photography while at it. I got around to a few locations, but the main focus was the Moruya River at dusk.

I went down to the river two evenings in a row, hoping to get just the right amount of cloud cover, and light. Unfortunately, both evenings the main cloud cover was in the east! I got some nice panoramas out of it anyway.

I also got along to a few other spots; the Tomaga River, Barlings Beach, Clyde River and Surfside. I thought that I had managed to cover most of the Bay last summer. But it is a situation of the more you look, the more you see!

I am continuing to discover great spots in each area I explore. Multiply that idea by about a thousand when considering a place like Sydney to discover through the lense!

Exo Day

For something different I'm going to show you some of my shots from the Big Exo Day (Youth Alive event). I was asked to go along and take some photos, and had a blast since it was my first time doing any event
photography.

I only got around to about half of the activities put on during the day. It really a big Christian youth festival, with multiple band stages, bmx, fmx, skate, dance, cars, carnival rides, markets and so on. You get to see a really diverse range of youth culture.

Our college had been running a scholarship competition, a first years tuition paid for. They presented the scholarship on the night to this lucky young lady. I also got to be just metres awat from some really popular current artists taking pictures. It was fun, to say the least.
