Papa's Got A Brand New Bag - James Brown

Here are more juggling balls... these are practice ones. Thought I'd do a shot with my flashes considering the batteries are nice and freshly charged after last weeks draining.

Couldn't resist HDRing this. Really like how the satin sheets turned out. More tomorrow.

Together Forever - RUN DMC

Early post today. Anyway, this post is going to be early and short. I took this of a couple of really good buskers outside the South Melbourne markets today. Again I thought the lack out colours and the texture of the roads may prove promising in HDR.

On a side note, I have been reluctant to HDR people, as I found that the skin is a really hard thing to work out in HDR, however, over the last few weeks, I've been trying to work on processing and it's starting to work out well. OK that's it for me today. Besos people.

Ice Cream Man - Van Halen

Went to a food festival today. I think it was called Taste. Learned a few things today - The new buzz word in food seems to be Tataki (the Japanese term for lightly searing meat or fish and sliced thinly and marinated with pounded ginger); Honey never goes off (this is according to one of the ads I saw there, apparently they found honey in King Tut's tomb); Ginger is really quite nice tasting (bought a couple of bottles of ginger "juice"/extract, and it is glorious)

Anyway, to today's shot. this was taken from the 2nd level of the Royal Exhibition building. It's of a colourful Ben and Jerry's Combi sitting in the middle of the great hall serving up it's delightful flavours.

I also did another HDR shot of the front of the Exhibition Building from my new iPhone. You can see it in my HDR set on Flickr here. More tomorrow.

If The Shoes Fits - Hank Williams III

Putting my feet up. TGIF. It's been a really busy week, but a hella lot of fun. So here's me sitting in the smoker's shed just kicking it back right before heading home.

I just thought that the texture of the shoe, the lightly stained lawn furniture and the concrete blocks would have been a great subject for HDR. More tomorrow.

Send In The Crowns - Judy Collins and Frank Sinatra

Today was show day for our annual stay at home conference. This year's theme was Ego Does The Big Top. Took over 1000 shots throughout the 4 days and here's one I thought would go really well with HDR. I figured the concrete and the bright colours would really pop.

So here's one of the groups that participated in the big show. You can see more of the shows at the Ego Does The Big Top group in Facebook.

Drop The Ball - Anthrax

All the swelling's gone! Ok I was talking about juggling a few days ago, and so here are our practice balls. I swear it's a lot harder than it looks - to juggle I mean... but it's also really lots of fun.

Took this without the help of an assistant. I just set the balls up at the bottom and kept tossing the orange ball and kept snapping with my 2 now somewhat battery-sapped flashes on either side.

Did a bit of HDR but that really wasn't of any use at all. More tomorrow.

Diver Down - Van Halen

Another late post today. At dinner today I had something that started off an allergic reaction. Swollen lip, puffy eye you know the scenario.

Anyway, today's shot is of a duck/swan diving for food. It's either that or it's imitating an ostrich and instead of sand, it's using water. Took this with my zoom lens and did a one shot/multiple expose HDR on this.
