Walking back to my car and saw a quick photo opportunity, so stopped to take a shot..

This shot was captured on a morning walk with my dog, along the esplanade in Cairns Nth Queensland.

Check out the gash on the back of the right one's neck (no these lace monitors are not dancing) they are attempting to impress a female & gain dominan

Taking a walk down the esplanade on a slightly stormy overcast day.. thought it'd make a good capture....

This is a picture of Nth Mission Beach, QLD Australia with a sepia tone to enhance the image...

Just a wander down the espy taking random shots....

Back up stock shots from work, one of the amenities that I created.

This small unassuming flower caught my attention as I walked through the rainforest path on my way to the beach, so I decided to take a snap shot...

This is one of a few shots taken while hiking a trail just out of Cairns in the Kamerunga Reserve.

Image of a flower bud in half bloom with a sphere shape...

Captured an image of my Niece during a very natural moment of joy & happiness... :0)

Walking around Adelaide, South Australia taking random shots through the city...

This image was captured during a photographic exploration, it was me, my camera, 2 litres of water & a 3 hour walk...

This image was taken on Mt Batua, and captures the stillness and serenity of the moment through the lens..

Behind The Lens

Location

This picture was captured on South Stradbroke Island, on the edge of a small boutique resort that I was working at..

Time

Late in the afternoon, I was admiring all the wallabies hopping around as the sun was setting just enjoying the serenity..

Lighting

I guess the thing that drew me to the shot, was the fact that the light was coming from behind the scene as the sun was setting casting a dark shadow on the thatched hut and surrounding palm trees...

Equipment

Just one of my old camera's (kodak z650) nothing special, no tripod, special lens, just the natural raw shot. f/3.2, exposure 1/80 sec, ISO-160, Max aperture 3.4, focal length 11mm.

Inspiration

I guess just the time of the day, you know when you get that feel good vibration from watching a sunrise or sunset that makes you feel all warm and fuzzy. I wanted to capture that moment so I would have it forever..

Editing

Just some simple editing to make the shot really pop. I slightly enhanced the colour in the background & darkened the colour in the foreground...

In my camera bag

At the time, nothing special just one of my earlier first digital cameras, which I liked to keep handy for those very occasions..

Feedback

I guess, just being more aware of the conditions that make a good shot, and being ready to take it..
