My locality in wide angle - for the group Next Shot

This set of photos I took for the wideangle theme for the Group - Next Shot. The photos I have arranged with the original first followed by cropped versions that I created from them. The idea was to make them all then decide which to post. I thought it a nice idea to post all the photos I took for the theme - might be a good thing for us all to do in the future to show our efforts and thinking we put into the theme. The last shot is just an example of a wide angle.

Spring Wildflowers - Bonny Hills NSW

Small Spring Wildflowers photographed on the headland of my hometown of Bonny Hills NSW.

BEST VIEWED IN SLIDESHOW

Photo for today September 24th

The Colours of Spring

The headland at the end of our street is alive, at the moment, with native, spring wildflowers. I made it my mission, over the last week, to get out with the camera and photograph them before they all dissappeared, as they can so quickly do. You will find a link to an album to accompany this blog below - please note that I have no idea of their names but they are beautiful anyway with or without a name. I might make n effort to look them up sometime in the future.

Flowers Growing Wild

These were all found growing wild around my hometown Bonny Hills

Picture Perfect Friday - Nine!!!

Nine Surfers Surfing

Today I was home in Bonny Hills. Went, camera at ready, looking for a nine - thats all I knew, I had to find a nine - somewhere!!. Sure enough out on the waves were a bunch local surfers - from that distance and my eyesight they were only brurred dots but I thought I counted nine but no real idea how many. When I got home, on Windows photo Viewer, the photo blown up, I counted again - nine!!

Photo of the Day - July 18 2011

Energy

This is a photo that really appeals to me - not sure if it does for you too but I like the activity and the energy of the inividuals in this photo - each seems to have a world happening around them either solitary or together with another or others. In particular I like the boy at the end all alone looking out to sea and the girls playing on the rock next along from him. I have cropped them out again and placed it below.

To me this one looks more like a picture from a comic book

Thanks for looking.

Photo of the Day - July 13 2011

Red Sky in Morning.......

It was just magic this morning on the early morning walk. These photos just part of it. How those young surfers do it I have no idea but at 6.45 am there they were in the freezing air and water, paddling about to catch the first of the days sets! No way you would get me with one layer less of clothing let alone in a wet suit and surf!!

This was the way the day greeted us with it's crimson sunrise. Who cares about shepherds warnings when you have skies like this to enjoy!! There are a few other photos from the morning that you might enjoy to see in the attached album.
