From Silver Lake - Jackson Browne
What a difference a day makes. Storms over the weekend, and today, near perfect weather. Welcome to Melbourne.
Took this of the lake across from my place. Saw the sailboats zooming through the water, and couldn't resist this. Plus the colour of the lake was amazing today, and I love how HDR has brought out that silvery quality to the lake. A bit of tilt-shift for added visual effect. More tomorrow.

Gimmie The Mic - Limp Bizkit
Got this M-Audio condenser mic the other day. Had a little play with it and it's pretty good for miking a guitar amp, as for a vocal mic, I've yet to test it out. But the biggest surprise of all, it has a USB connection. Took this with my studio monitor in the background. Really can't wait to put this through it's paces. More tomorrow.

Zero - Smashing Pumpkins
Black and white for the week. Here's a shot of my work phone with a 50mm. Using HDR and a bit of colour correction to bring out the highlights and texture. Love that 1.4 aperture. More tomorrow.

The Thong Song - SISQO
Everything's different here. A really huge storm blew in this evening, in the middle of summer. For our friends in the northern hemisphere, who are now in the middle of winter, this may not seem too bizarre, but here, it's just down right loco!
Another thing we do differently is the name we have for things. Take the photo in question, yes we still recognise them as slippers, but they are more commonly known here as thongs! The thing I don't get is how we arrived at calling this thongs, when the rest of the world has a very different definition for the word. Just another example of how we do things differently, I guess. More tomorrow.

DAY 034. 3/2/11
Family Tradition - Hank Williams Jr
It's Chinese New Year, and there are some things I really miss about being in a country that celebrates Chinese New Year.
One, it's a public holiday, in fact, it's a holiday for 2 days in some countries, 2 weeks in some others.
Two, the food! I shan't say anymore.
Three, it's a wonder how much cash one can wean from just 2 oranges, if you're single. If you're married, then, it's a wonder how much money you'll have to fork out. Like I said, 2 oranges presented to a married couple get's you a little red envelope with cash in it. And the best part is they hand you back 2 oranges. Which means you'll have more ammo to get more red packets. Wonder how much these 3 oranges will get me? More tomorrow.

Shapes of Things - Yardbirds
Trying to keep up with my black and whites. Well I know this isn't quite monochromatic, but it's close.
What is this? Well it's this big metal cladding on the side of the building. Took this after dinner and walking back to the car. This thing is huge, it almost takes up half a block and about 3 stories high. Should have got something else in the frame to show proportion, but all I had with me was a 50mm, so here you go... metal shapes. More tomorrow.

Two Less Lonely People - Air Supply (sorry)
1 month into Year 2... hell yeah! OK this will be the last of the tennis shots I use for my 365. I've already posted quite a few in an album in Flickr.
This shot was taken in between the end of the mixed doubles and the men's finals. Just this couple in a sea of empty seats. The moment I shot is I knew I wanted to use it for My 365. Apologies for taking 3 days to eventually post this, but better late then never huh? More tomorrow.
