We still have some spots available for the nature photography workshop taking place in Victoria in September. But bookings won’t be open for much longer. You can elect to pay a deposit and balance later, or 3 x payments if you book this month. So I encourage you to book now!  Full details here.

I’ve had a fascination for the ‘golden hour’ recently and have taken some shots at the local lake park during that special time at sunrise or sunset.  But during the week I was on my way to a business breakfast in a local suburb and while in the cafe paying for my breakfast noticed the sun out of the window, making its way into the sky. Wish I could have gotten a shot as it was climbing over the hill but I was at the counter and it took time to get my camera out, and get outside. But I did get these two shots and it goes to show you don’t have to be out in a ‘scenic’ location to get a shot of that Golden Hour.

Just outside the cafe looking across the road towards the hills.

I walked to the corner outside the cafe to get this shot at the junction.  And yes, it was early, around 7am.

Thought I’d post my fav 12 photos for the year of 2011 that I’ve taken. You can see more of my ‘photos of the day’ at my Flickr account.
