Picture Perfect Winter Competition #4_ Far from Home

One day I will reach the Moon.

This photo may disqualify me from the competition - but that's ok!!! I was going to enter the photo of the just the moon but I thought that this Photoshop creation, made with the Moon photo plus the addition of the Galah on the branch, highlights better the theme 'far from home'. They are both my photos and all I have done is lay the bird over the photo of the moon and then cropped them into the panorama to give what I think is the best effect to achieve the perspective and feel of distance. I had created this photo a month and a bit ago when I was feeling creative and presented it in another personal blog in my series of Backyard Photography posts.

Picture Perfect Winter Competition #3 _ Face

Stone Face

This very unusual looking face (measuring about 4ft x 3ft) was unearthed after big seas a month or so back. There it was, looking up at me as I negotiated the rocky shoreline, with that look as if it had just been sucking on a lemon. Next day, returning with the thought to bring it home for the garden, it was nowhere to be found  - buried again under sand and rocks on the next tide. Makes me wonder who will be the next to see this face - or wo saw it last?

Bits and pieces from the Camera the last week or so

A Fish Blowing Smoke Rings

This is a sort of gateway to an album of bits and pieces from the shots I took over the last weeks. I have had no real project in mind and just took photos of whatever took my eye at the time. The above photo is of some fish I captured down by the river at Port Macquarie, the nearest large town. It is nothing really specialbut I oike the colour and the relected light on the surface of the water that looks so much like smoke. Made me think if fish blowing smoke rings. Anyway have a look at the albumand hopefully you will enjoy.

Images and words no 144 - So Long, Farewell

Adieu

Joel - I just wanted to come and say farewell and post once again. I was here 144 themes ago when it all started and wow what a symbolic time to hand over the reins - on the 144th theme. The above quote is you Joel - to me anyway. I remember well all those early morning shots you posted, having gotten up no matter the weather, no matter the temperature because you wanted to share what you saw in that specific light.
