Anyone For Tennis? - Cream
More from last night's tennis. And this time it's a bit of people watching. If you look closely, dead centre of the shot is the gorgeous Ana Ivanovic; look up 4 rows and by the step is our very own Alica Molik; diagonally opposite the steps from Alicia, looks like the guy from the Buena Vista Social Club, Ibrahim Ferrer; 2 seats to his right looks like Sulu from Star Trek; and 2 seats from Ibrahim's left looks like Ginger Spice; In front of Ana looks like Donald Sutherland and the guy texting in the cap, 4 seats from Alicia's left, I could have sworn was Kumar from Harold and Kumar. Wow it's just a constellation of stars!
Anyway, Ana was sitting almost diagonally opposite the court to me, and I'm sure there was a connection. A bit of HDR to bring out the features and a bit of fun to point out the famous faces. More tomorrow.

DAY 030. 30/1/11
Out of Reach - Gabrielle
At the tennis today. The men's singles finals to be precise and in really good seats to boot! Thanks James!
I'll make it short today, because it's work in about 5 hours and I've only just got back from a whole day.
Predictably, today's shot was going to be of the tennis, so here's Novak Djokovic, 2011 Australian Open winner, running down the many dozens of unreachable balls!, and eventually beating Andy Murray in straight sets.
Expect more Tennis shots in the coming days and even more courtside action. More tomorrow.

Sunsets - Powderfinger
Short post again today. Was going to post this pre-game before the Asian Cup finals between Australia and Japan, with words of encouragement and hope.
Alas I'm posting this post game, and Japan beat Australia by a goal in extra time. It's heartbreaking. I'm sad.
On to the shot. I took this about a half hour or so after sunset and the reflection off the building is just amazing. But I took this shot because the flag was flying right on top of the building. More tomorrow.

BAD - U2
Short post today, it's hours past Day 28, but last night was a long night and so better late than never I guess. Was playing with portraits at work today for a presentation, and this one came along. Totally overexposed, but in almost all the perfect spots.
This is Eugene, the best Artwork Coordinator around, shot with 2 flashes. There's one on his left, and one ring flash. More tomorrow.

I Drove All Night - Roy Orbison
At the driving range today. Really not my thing, golf, but it was still fun to hit a few or 50. Still love football, and I've always said that when I finally stop playing football, I'll take up golf. With the way I feel after every game, that day seems to be coming closer and closer.
Anyway, this is Dennis showing off with his big swings and hitting further than any of us at the range. I like this for how the ball almost seems ghostly as it is whacked off the mat. More tomorrow.

DAY 026. 26/1/11
Happy Australia Day everyone. It's the day we celebrate everything that's great about living here and the day in 1788 when Captain Arthur Phillip, commander of the First Fleet of eleven convict ships from Great Britain and the first governor of New South Wales, arrived at Sydney Cove. The raising of the Union Jack there symbolised British occupation of the eastern half of the continent claimed by Captain James Cook on 22 August in 1770.
On to today's shot. Here's a mojito with the green of the mint leaves and gold or yellow of the lime, nicely sitting inside the white rum concoction. It's also a toast to the mighty socceroos that won 6 nil to reach the finals of the Asian Cup. Ooi Ooi Ooi! More tomorrow.

Two Left Feet - Richard Thompson
Went out for drinks after work and pulled out the camera to start taking shots. With the camera barely a second out of the bag, I was checking the settings on the camera when I saw this in the view finder.
It was a little Australia Day Eve drinks with friends and family. These feet belong to Dave and Bernard, both have perfectly good right feet as well, actually one of them has a broken right foot, but that's another story. Happy Australia Day People. More tomorrow.
