Day 117 - Morning Fog

Foggy morning today - 7:30 AM on the way to work.

Day 116 - Dog Agility Training

Through the tunnel at high speed and then over the hurdles, this dog looks to hiw master for the next instruction while still in mid air.

Day 115 - Gridiron

Quaterback at training this morning.

Day 113 - Roos

I picked up someone from the Airport this morning at 9:30. We made a bet that we could see Roos within 10 minutes of leaving the car park. He took the bet and I won -

Day 112 - Pencils

I saw this shot in a "How to" internet page about photography, so tonight I took a few minutes to try and recreate the shot. I will use this photo for the Realdotin challenge this month.

The photo has great colour. The upwards slope gives the photo some dynamic tension. It is also a good exercise in manual focus

Another more colourful attempt later in the evening - This version I tried to us ethe rule of thirds for a more dynamic feeling.  Probably a good entry for the June Camera Club competition.

Day 111 - Landfill or Reccycle Otto Bins

I drive past this line up of bins every Wednesday- Garbage day.
Each time I tell myself that these could make an interesting photo.
Finally,today I drove past - turned around and took a couple of shots.
I like the colours and the fact that only the green bins have been emptied, while the red bins still await their turn to be collected.
The curve is a good leading line for the photo and leads the eyes from the front bin along the curve to the gap and then onto the end of the line.

Day 110 - Croydon rangers Gridiron Club

Went to the Croydon Rangers Gridiron Club training session today and dropped off some photos from last year's grand final game.
I am hoping to get to a few more games this season and to make more shots of the guys in action.

Day 109 - Dog Tired

Dog Tired - After a big day this pup's having a hard time keeping his eyes open.

Dau 108 -Teddy Bears

Corinne loves Teddy Bears and I needed some practice with my flash.
Very difficult to get the Black bear exposed properly without over exposing the white background and the brown bear.

Day 107 - At Dog Training

This Trio of Border Collies make a terrific blackand white photo.

The dog on the left has a white/blue eye on his white side and a normal black eye on his black side.

Through the upright stakes, zig and zag,... zig and zag...

Day 106 - Daniel

This is my son Daniel.
I used "off camera flash" to light up the front of his face, this gives the effect of him watching TV or sitting in front of his PC.

Day 105 - Wedding

Went to a wedding today.
The couple lit a candle to remember the day.
After the service the candle was still burning in the chapel.
 
More candles at the reception center the same evening.

Day 104 - Dog School

Went to dog training with my daughter today and kept myself entertained by taking pictures of the dogs.
Some of these dogs are so well trained they will sit silently while thier master's go and have a cup of tea - Amazing.
.

These dogs have been trained to retrieve an object on the otherside of the wall. They go and find the object then jump back over the wall to return the object to the master.
