I do believe in fairies...

Who says fairies don't exist!? I captured this one in my garden, cheeky little thing decided to pose as well - LOL!!

Taken in the AV setting with F9 and centre focus on her face & body - the detail is pretty cool - considering its not in macro mode either...

Dragonfly...

So this little fella has been dead in my car window for months and I have become very fond of him - he is only tiny, about 3cm down his body - I have tried using macro but didn't get him all in focus so I used the AV (aperture value) setting with a F10 and a centre focus - very happy with the detail, creepy but very cool...

Fish river at Jenolan Caves...

Having JP around we got to take lots of cool pics and was comparing all weekend - learnt so much! Ok this one was taken with F7.1, 1/1000 sec and an ISO of 320 - love that frozen water look...

That steamy look...

We must have taken hundreds of photos this day but I wanted to get that steamy look on a flowing river - so this was was using the 55mm lens F29, 1/4 sec with an ISO of 400 - oh yeah - love this pic, kinda looks dreamy...

Jenolan Caves...

Some of the amazing formations found in the Imperial Cave - used auto function with no flash, colours were true to life, with flash they lost all the pretty colours, click on image to see the water droplets, so cool...

And more...

One of the Shawls at Jenolan Caves. This one was also taken with no flash - just amazing!

A wedding..

My beautiful cousins wedding - how could I not get some lovely pics! Disappointed with quite a few of the shots, but then again I was using my 250mm lens and zooming right in - JP said I need to get a monopod, like a tripod but just one leg - think this would make a huge difference. Still learning but getting there. Was a great day for lots of practicing + got a lovely compliment from the wedding photographer about the pics I put on FB and she actually wanted me to send her a couple - that def made my day...

Macro and the frangipani...

I have a lovely bloom of frangipanis at the moment and couldn't let the opportunity pass me by.

Taken with the 55mm lens on a macro setting. Its a shame you can't choose the focus point in macro - still a pretty nice picture all the same...

Capturing emotion...

I think this photo says it all...

Who I am...

The detail you get with this camera is just awesome - this day was just set to auto mode, not bad you can see the hairs on her chinny-chin-chin - lol.

I look at this photo and instantly I am drawn back to my childhood. Mind you the image in my minds eye has a lot less wrinkles, less grey hair and they are both a lot more agile. These two women played a major role in my younger years - fondly named Queen Elizabeth and Mother Teresa - proud to have you both in my life and proud to carry your names...

Busy at work...

Kinda creepy up close but still amazing...

My youngest cousin...

This was a fantastic day for taking pics - the kids had been swimming and they had a sun-kissed glow about them - great catching them totally unaware...

Now that's what I'm talking about...

My favourite pic so far - not quite there yet, need to practice more with the macro, want to get those water droplets perfect - hence why I need a macro lens - might go check out Ebay...

Close up...

I can only say that this is beauty in its purest form. 


These are the photos I want to get with this camera - to look beyond the things we take for granted...

Contemplation...

My baby - wish I knew what he was thinking about, probably how much he loves me - lol...

Just love this pic...

Amazing...

More rock formations...

Love how much detail you can get with this camera - and thinking this pic will come in handy for a mixed media background


♥ my camera...

Innocent eyes...

My gorgeous niece - love the innocence of this pic and when you zoom in you can see my reflection in her eye - she is so beautiful...

Poor little fella...

Love the detail on his wings, and the chomp marks...

Possible Christmas cards next year...

Still loving this camera...

Random palm frond...

Zoomed right in - love how the light works with this one, makes me want to go back to Champagne Bay in the South Pacific - ohhh, imagine the pics I could get with my new toy...

Petunia...

This photo gave me goosebumps when I zoomed into it on my computer - click the photo and you will see what I mean. Can you see the hairs on the the leaves and the centre of the flower?? How awesome am I, I mean the camera - lol...

My dad...

Just turned 70 and right at home with his little black cap and blue shirt - hmmm, what's missing?? Oh yeah, the hand rolled cigarette!


The lighting was really good this day, love this photo - man he looks just like his dad...

That's better...

Ahhh yes, that's much better Dad...

My orchid...

This little orchid lives in my kitchen window and when it flowers its lasts for weeks, just beautiful...

Angellic...

I love this little cherub - never realised all the detail until I took this photo...

Amazing little critter...

This little fella was found across the road in the bush, he was only tiny, I think a splinter puller?? Anyways, I love the texture and the colour, see this is why I need a macro lens so that I can get even closer but not too close - lol...

He started it....

This is the culprit behind my new addiction, mind you there were quite a few hints dropped prior to the arrival of the man in the red suit - ho ho ho - hence why there will be photos of anyone and anything but me...
