006 - 6/1/14

Out in the wine country today for a catchup with an old friend. We had lunch at this little winery after a few margaritas. Was a really fun day, albeit in almost 40 degree heat. So the cool restaurant provided us with a small respite from the heat.

Was playing around with my new toy camera, the Sony QX10 and this shot pop up while I was going through the shots tonight. Also took some shots of the vineyards along the way, but figured once you've seen one... More tomorrow.

Sometimes some backgrounds are just do bokehlicious, you just wish you had something equally delightful as a foreground. Luckily, I still had some shots of Elizabeth in my archives. More tomorrow.

The really cool thing about this summer in perth has been the weather. I can't recall a summer when it's been this cool around Christmas and the new year. And the sky is perpetually cloudless and blue. Let's hope it holds out for another few more days while I'm here... mind you I did overhear that Monday is going to be a scorcher... oh well, the honeymoon had to end at some stage.

Took this shot of the antenna with a couple of doves and the moon still in the day sky... I did have to use HDR to get the moon to stand out a bit more, but it still worked out well enough. More tomorrow.

It's my parents' 44th anniversary, and my sister and I took them out for dinner at a swanky Chinese restaurant at the Casino.

Here's the shot post meal and pre gambling... happy anniversary Mum and Dad, love you. More tomorrow.

The really great thing about being in Perth is the night sky. On most clear nights, the stars are as numerous as they are brilliant.

I tried to capture it tonight without a tripod (it seems to have grown legs and taken a walk), so an improvised wine box perched on an angle with the help of a pack of smokes had to be the next best thing. More tomorrow.

We begin the year with a shot from the previous year. It was a no brainer to choose this simply because today was the little man's last day with us. As I write this, he's probably somewhere over the middle of Australia on his way home. It's going to be a very quite house tomorrow morning, and just that little bit sadder. We already miss you Owen.

Will take more shots from this year in the morning. More tomorrow.

Happy New Year everyone. Managed to make it out of the house whilst preparing for the party to take a few shots (340+) of Owen playing in the garden. Like his Aunty in the background, he sure has some attitude.

So that brings me to an end of another 365. Will probably do another one in the new year... I'm having too much fun to stop.

Thanks has to go to the makers of my favourite Camera, the alpha 99, Sony; all the people that have been in my shots for the year, you may or may not know who you are, but thanks nevertheless. Of course Dustin Dias for his spark (great to see him back on Flickr, BTW). Guy Gowan for enlightening us with his processing knowledge and all the photographers out there who've been an inspiration. Here's to another year of 365.

Bring on Year 5 and More tomorrow.
