Halloween and I thought maybe something spooky might be on the cards for today's shot. Didn't actually get round to taking anything remotely scary, but I did like this first shot of the day. It's a building not so far away at sunrise. More tomorrow.

It's getting warmer now... I think this weekend might be the last of the cool weather before summer well and truly hits. Then again, this is Melbourne and you never really know.
It got into the 30's today and that means beach weather. Took this right near St. Kilda Beach... just 3 people soaking up the sun. More tomorrow.

Out today with the new camera and loving it. Could have easily posted about 5 or so shots, but settled for this one.
Walking around the markets today and heard this great music coming from one of the cafes. A spanish old time jazz duo with the double bass player singing. Really cool guys. More tomorrow.

Finally got my new camera. This is one of the first few shots I got off while playing with it. The battery is still charging, so I'm hoping tomorrow will be a good shooting day. Might have to get out and shoot a whole lot. More tomorrow.

Got a new lens today, a Minolta 200mm F2.8. It's claimed to be one of the best lenses Minolta has ever made... I don't know about that, but I've got to say it's a real beauty.
Here's something I took without framing, or focusing. I just turned the camera to Eugene and shot. I've been shooting all day with it and I'm loving the bokeh and the sharpness. I'm loving everything about it. So be prepared for more shots with this lens for the foreseeable future. More tomorrow.

Apparently we had the worst gridlock day ever in Melbourne, and all because of a computer glitch. The official line was the signs weren't working in the tunnels and as a result they had to shut them down.
Well here's me stuck in traffic today... only good thing was I go against the flow of traffic, and I still doubled my commute time. More tomorrow.
