Four of my many interesting photographs shot on Sunday afternoon at the Wittunga Botanic Gardens. As you can see, I like the 'macro abstract' shots! Plus one extra showing a panorama of the lake:
Fanplastic
Earlier tonight I had the good chance to catch the last half hour of this televised program on ABC1 - "Addicted to Plastic". It advertised a few interesting locations around the world that are helping to reduce the landfill of plastic upon this planet. Rather than preaching to you about how important this subject is...

Wittunga
A few months back I visited an amazing public garden in the Adelaide hills - Wittunga Botanic Gardens. This park is filled with South African plants that are suited to the South australian climate, so they flower most of the year. Thankfully the rain had abated and the cloud clover was good for overall-light, so... Continue Reading →
Help Stop Indonesian Logging
By now you would have heard that the Indonesian Pulp&Paper mills have resumed logging the rainforest in which endangered orangutan's have their habitat. I encourage you to sign this online petition so that we can present to them how many people of the world are totally opposed to this activity. Please. Let's all show how... Continue Reading →
Find and Photograph an Australian Echidnea
Photographing Australian wildlife is fraught with many interesting problems.

I've only ever seen this car from a distance (from the train), and never realised I could ever get close enough to photograph the wreck. Postscript: I have used the ORTON-plugin with GIMP to give depth to the... Continue Reading →
Farm Survival
Two photographs from today's walkabout. I found an abandoned homestead that included the old home, the outhouse, garage, shearing shed, storage shed and old concrete water tank! Here are two shots from the day. Many more are to follow.
Panorama of Kangaroo Island
My first panorama image shot yesterday at the Kingscote Jetty is almost a perpetual panorama. Best seen full size. Here are a few more, also shot on Kangaroo Island, to keep you tantalised and amazed at what can be achieved WITHOUT a tripod. Expect more like this: I am having heaps of fun shooting panoramic...

Adelaide Panorama
This afternoon my wife and I went into the Adelaide CBD to shop at the Central Markets. Thankfully she let me take a walk into Victoria Square with my camera. After the sun had hidden itself behind the Hilton Hotel, I decided there was still enough light in the sky to attempt a panorama. Without... Continue Reading →
