Moorooduc Quarry

**
To many this is 'just' the local quarry -
to me it represents endless photographic opportunities.
**
These photos were taken with my Panasonic
DMC-FSC
digital camera. I know I would have gotten much better
results had I used my Nikon and worried about the sunlight,
however for a Point and Shoot camera I was
quite pleased with the results.

Sunset at Mornington

**
I'm so lucky living in Mornington and having
the beach, with all it has to offer, right on my doorstep.
**
Last week, after studying all my notes on photographying
sunsets I headed down to the beach.
I'm sure I did a million things wrong, and I'll be
back again during the week to try again, but for
the moment I was pleased with my first attempt
at using the Aperature and Shutter Speed controls.

Tulip Farm

**
Tesserlar's Tulip Farm, in Olinda, is definately worth a visit.
Every October you can see an amazing display of
acres and acres of tulips in every colour of the rainbow.
**
**
I took the time to get down to ground level and
what I saw was truly beautiful.
The inside of these flowers was almost like the
human fingerprint - - - - everyone has them,
but that are all different.

Never Short of Subjects to Photograph

**
Every parent thinks their children are beautiful,
but mine really are!!!! And they make wonderful
subjects to photograph.
It drives them crazy, but I never tire of
photographing them.
**
These photos were taken at
The Briars Historial Homestead at Mt. Martha.
The old farming equipment makes fantastic
props for portraits.
