I saw this great tip the other day relating to the sale of your photos. It was so simple I don’t know why I’d not thought of it myself. But let me share the article with you: “You may think that you have to be some professional photographer or a photographer with 20 years of…
What are you looking at?
At Ferntree Gully Park, near the 1,000 Steps we heard the Sulphur Crested Cockatoos constantly screeching. Above us this one stopped long enough for me to get a good look. The 1,000 Steps is connected to the Kokoda Trail and has memorial plaques and stones along the pathway and information on how difficult the Kokoda…
Sun on the water
I loved the sunlight on the water and this photo probably doesn’t do it enough justice but thought I’d share it anyway. Lysterfield Lake Park is truly a beautiful place to visit and a very popular family picnic area, as well as popular with the mountain bikers who congregate there every weekend. No wonder they…
More Kangaroos
There were a lot of roos grazing on this particular day in the park. Here’s a couple more.
Kangaroo in the park
I think this lovely lady was as surprised as I was when I rounded the corner and we came face-to-face… well almost! She was a few metres from me and wouldn’t turn around so I could show you the joey she had in her pouch. I had interrupted her eating – you can see the…
Beautiful day at the park
As you can see it was a beautiful day at the park, clear blue sky, beautiful blue water and so early in the morning not many people around. I got to enjoy this place in solitude.
On the end of the Pier
I startled this cormorant as I came to the end of the pier but was able to grab a couple of shots before it flew off.
Wren in the park
This cute little fella was hiding in the bushes but I was able to view him through my zoom lens. It is a wren and looks like it could be young as its feathers look quite fluffy. Isn’t he cute?
Lysterfield Lake and Moorhens
The Moorhens were clucking loudly as I walked towards the lake. I’d not seen so many in one place together before. The dam wall is in the background.
Sun through the trees
I went back to Lysterfield Lake Park on Saturday and the weather was gorgeous. I was there just after 8am and spent a couple of hours wandering around, enjoying the scenery and came across some of the wildlife too. The next few days I’ll be sharing these images with you.
From my own street
Here’s another one on those clouds, with a small plane heading towards them – the plane was probably closer than the clouds in reality. We have a small airport not far away and it would have been heading there.
Using Photoshop Elements
Being relatively new to digital photography, other than just using a ‘point-and-shoot’ camera, I’m now learning about editing, cropping and enhancing my shots. Once I decided I wanted to pursue this hobby much more seriously I found a lot of information via forums and photography clubs – online and offline. It was suggested I should…
