A world of amazement and wonder that is filled with happiness and laughter as well as peace and quiet where we can go and no-one can bother us.

Sounds perfect to me......

Time for a new start....

I am no photographer, just a mum with a nice camera that I got for Christmas, a Canon EOS 550D. I am not into taking formal portraits - well not at this point anyway. I like close ups with detail, sounds like I NEED a macro lens next especially for those water droplets, but I also like to zoom right in from a distance to catch people unaware and get those one off's of rare birds in flight and interesting texture of cliff ledges to use in my mixed media artwork as backgrounds so I suppose I also need a lens for that too!


This new venture is like nothing else I have tried before, I have always had a small compact automatic digital camera, but nothing like this DSLR with 18 megapixels - so you can see I am pretty excited about this, hence why I started this blog. Not sure who or if anyone will actually read it, but I will enjoy the journey anyway.


After all that is said and done, I have absolutely no idea what I am doing :)

Frangipani water droplet...

Bought some cheap macro lenses on Ebay, there are 4 of them, use them on their own or screw them all together to get extra magnification - oh yeah! I was within an inch of the flower - talk about sensitive, slightest breeze or movement - shocking pic, can't even use the tripod cause you have to get so close - so I ended up taking 268 photos - then culled most and kept 59! Not bad for a couple of hours work!! Click on the photo to see the reflection in the water droplet, pretty awesome...

Crepe Mrytle...

I think my fascination is not with flowers but with the colour, texture and the detail of whats beyond, I must say I got pretty excited when I viewed these on the computer. Using an aperture of F-10 and all of my macro lenses - pretty pleased with the result...

Murraya up close...

Just love mother nature - was a great day to be outside - this was set to F-10 seems to be this camera's sweet spot. Click the photo to see close up...

What a load of BULL...

Out at our property on the weekend we had a lovely herd of mostly bulls - they were very intent on just watching us - got a bit game and tried to get closer but they started to bolt - glad I wasn't too close when they did, talk about 'running with the bulls' no thank you! They were a healthy lot too, not sure who they belonged to, but got some lovely snaps all the same...

Taken from quite a distance just in auto mode - love how the grass is so crisp
