Wednesday, January 6, 2010

This week’s image was submitted by Jonathan Allcock. It’s a picture from New Zealand, but I’m not entirely sure if this is where Jonathan resides, or if the picture was taken during a visit there by Jon. It looks like the photo was taken with a Canon PowerShot S3 set to an f/4 aperture and a shutter speed of [...]

“Spring is in the Air.” It was a beautiful warm day here in Sydney today and for those of us living in the southern hemisphere we can now smell spring is in the air after a fairly long, wet and cold winter. I didn’t set out to capture spring today, but I did venture out with [...]

I did manage to shoot a total of 75 images today (although I shot some scenes quite extensively). I made images both indoors [...]
