Keeping track of the days. I can't believe I'm almost at my 1000th day. Really, really need to plan something big for that. I have 28 days to get something going for special day.

Anyway, here's day 242. More tomorrow.

Had my beercan lens today and a 2x extender, so I took this from quite far away. Just a little sparrow frolicking in the sun. More tomorrow.

Took this in an empty office space the other day. All the boardroom chairs were bunched up against the window. Couldn't get the god light effect, which would have been cool, so I framed it to get more negative space. More tomorrow.

A bit of camera porn today. Here's a newly acquired Mamiya 16. Just the feel of it, the weight and all that steel is just so retro sexy. Can't wait for the film cartridges to arrive. More tomorrow.

Convention week at work and this year's theme is Mind Games. As part of the games, we had a blind taste test, and these fearless few were about to try a stirrer full of pureed ginger. More tomorrow.

A bit of handy nail polish work today. Our resident nail artist at work brought in this today. Quite a sparkly piece of work don't you think? More tomorrow.

A composite shot today. Took a shot of Brooke in the studio and took the background a few weeks ago at docklands. The flutter in the jacket and the tossing of the hair kind of just goes with the background. More tomorrow.

Happy National Day to all that know what that means. Here's a completely unrelated shot, other than you'd probably never see anything like this in Singapore.

Took this at an alleyway just off chinatown, it's right next to a quaint little bar built in a small carpark. More tomorrow.

Melbourne's best burger by a mile. Can't believe I live minutes away from Andrew's Hamburgers, yet it's been months since I've been there. Silly me.

Anyway, here's the shop front in HDR. Not as busy as I remember, but it did mean a shorter waiting time. All worth it though... this is truly the best burger joint in Melbourne. More tomorrow.

A bit of HDR on the Royal Exhibition Building at dusk. I was lucky the lights had just come on as there were guys inside preparing for a big Art exhibition. More tomorrow.

At the World Trade Centre today, and there's this water taxi service that takes you from the wharf hotel to the MCG for only $10. The next time I go for a concert at Rod Laver, I think I'm going to take the boat.

This boat's called Rebecca , and it looks really cool as boats go, but not that I'm a connoisseur of boats. I ramble. More tomorrow.

Here's my take on hand held long exposure. Legs firmly on the ground, camera resting on my lap and held as steady as possible for a couple of seconds... and voila, smooth milky water. Could have been smoother if I just placed it on the seat... oh well. More tomorrow.

At the Museum today, and just saw the word muse in museum, and really liked it. The redhead walking past is just a bonus. More tomorrow.
