Day 303 - Night Light

We had a crazy storm tonight.  I've always wanted to try and capture a lightning strike and I managed to do it on my second shot.  The photo doesn't have a beautiful city skyline, or ominous rolling clouds or even correct focus for that matter but I captured a lightning strike, so I'm happy.

Justin is raising money for Movember.  If you can help him, visit http://au.movember.com/mospace/1325372/  I'm sure he will appreciate the donation.  I had an awesome time taking photos while on the Saturday morning club ride.

Day 301 - Lightbox

Been meaning to do this shot for a while but it wasn't until I received some slides that I decided to get my act together.  This was taken with slides placed on a lightbox.

Ken: Not sure if you knew but there were some slides with photos in the box marked "blank slides".  I noticed some shots of Ash and Andrea in there and also a nice picture of Grandma, Grandpa and Uncle Mick.

Day 300 - Macro Madness

I have been wondering about one of the lenses I received off my grandfather and only realised its usefulness once I was searching for a reversing lens ring to attempt some macro photography.  It was bit of a give away with the macro adjustment slides on the lens and bellows setup.  Holy cow can I get some shallow depth of field with this sucker.  Extremely handy having a Canon mounting ring on the lens too!

Day 296 - Camera Lesson

I had the pleasure of teaching someone how to use their DSLR today.  We were practicing using manual mode and her beautiful children were modelling for us.  I managed to snap a couple of pics on my camera while she was testing and got this cheeky shot.

Day 282 - Addiction VI

My final shot in the addiction series.  Thanks to my grandma who was only to happy to model for me and eat a lolly for the sake of photography... and kept eating them after I finished.  Addiction?  I think so.

Day 277 - Addiction I

The start of a fortnightly challenge with the Recesky film camera.  This time the theme is addiction.  I think this one is self explanatory.
