Took this today while using my new hotshot adaptor for non-sony/ minolta flashes. And since it had a cable input, I hooked it up to the studio lights. More tomorrow.

Got this lens as a present from a friend visiting. It's an old Minolta 70-150mm f3.8. Tried it out and it's pretty spectacular, I'll post some shots from it soon. Anyway here's a black and white of it. More tomorrow.

It rained almost all day today, and the roads were wet. Tried to get some reflection shots, but because of the rain, it meant that I would have gotten, and more importantly, my camera as well would have gotten quite wet. So here's one from the comfort and dryness of my car. More tomorrow.

A shot of the tower of Manchester Unity Building in the city, just as the last rays of the day kiss it's facade. More tomorrow.

Out for dinner tonight at the Teppanyaki Inn, apparently Melbourne's oldest Teppanyaki establishment. I got to say it was just top notch. What you see is the Chef just cutting my Wagyu steak, done to perfection. Probably one of the best steak I've ever had. More tomorrow.

Took this at the dying moments of the day. Took a while to set up only because the damned flashes were playing up, hence the flared cross on the front of the bottle/jug/tin. Anyway it's late... more tomorrow.

Stobist info: 3 flashes - One camera right 5 feet away with a Lumiquest SB III, Another with a Lumodi Beauty Dish feathered about 2 feet above. The final flash is camera right with a diffuser sock camera left. The damned flared cross is from the pop-up flash that is not meant to show up, only fire the rest of the flashes... hence the problems with the shot.

There's a bit of construction going on just across the next building. I figured the least it could do was provide a subject for a shot of the day. Also my trusty 24-70mm 2.8 is dead, so it's back to the old faithfully 50mm. More tomorrow.

Out at my sister's birthday drinks and saw this scene. In year's gone, I would probably have had the words Pretty Maidens All In A Row written somewhere on the image. But that was in the past. More tomorrow.

Efforts to make it to St. Kilda Festival were thwarted by the weather, the cricket on TV and a small measure of laziness... OK make that a large measure. So here's one of the moon over St. Kilda Road. More tomorrow.

Just playing today. Couldn't find a Godzilla figure or a King Kong figurine or even a marshmallow man, so Teddy will have to. Not as menacing I know.... More tomorrow.

Had to do a group shot for the department today, so here's what came up right before the selected shot. This was the last of the 5 test shots, as you can see, some of the casts were getting a bit restless, while others sought rest. Still the final shot turned out quite well and the test shots were pretty cool too. BTW, total time from first test shot to final shot was slightly over 3 minutes. More tomorrow.

Today's shot isn't a foot fetish thing, rather it's the colours that really struck me. Just all those bluish hues from AquaMarine to Navy, is pretty cool. More tomorrow.

At the cricket tonight. Didn't really feel up to going, but it was a Friday night and it was a Twenty20 match. It turned out to be lots of fun despite Australia losing, but with thee likes of these two in the photo, it just made the night a whole lot more fun. More tomorrow.

First game of football after a long time. Took this while waiting for the game to start. Here's an old Morris Minor with a soft top. It's usually covered, so really had no idea what was hiding under the covers. More tomorrow.
