Penultimate post for the year. Really I'll have only slightly over 24 hours to post the last one of the year, but I'll endeavour to do it in good time.
So here it is, the moon on a lovely Perth night. More soon.

Was in Perth last weekend for a wedding; I couldn't really do all the wedding photos I wanted, because I was in the bridal party, but I did get some before and afters.
Here's one from before the wedding. More next week.

It's one of those weeks when I have an abundance of shots and am hard pressed to choose one to post. So I figured I'll take which ever event came first.
Hee's one from the Night noodle Market on a lovely almost summery evening. The biggest problem we had was choosing what to eat. More next week.

After a night of dining out followed by half a dozen games of football live on TV and an F1 qualifying (also on TV), I stepped out onto the balcony to see this. Balloon, birds and building at the break of dawn. More next week.

Just realised that this shot was taken after the shot date, but this is one of my favourite kind of concert shots.
So here's Def Leppard on the 30th anniversary of their Hysteria album tour. Unlike the previous concert that I went to a week before, we had excellent seats for this one. Also with a really good point and shoot camera, I managed to get these shots. More soon.

This is last week's post from the Taylor Swift concert in Melbourne. When the tickets came out on sale earlier last year, I was too slow in getting ground level seats. I ended up getting really cheap ones, almost in the nose-bleed section. Still, it turned out to be a really good concert. More soon.

Hopefully, by the weekend, I'd have caught up with my posting. There's only 10 more posts left for the year, so I have 10 more chances to complete the year on time.
Here's one from a Sunday morning sojourn into the city again. It's about the only time the streets are that empty. More soon.

Been really slack with posting this month (October). Chalk it down to post holiday blues, too busy, laziness... Anyway it's time to get back on track. Here's something from almost 3 weeks ago. A Saturday morning in early Spring and people were dressed in lots of gold and glitter, except for these to in almost primary colours. More soon.

A couple of weeks behind. Here is probably the last of the Singapore photos that I'll post. This time it's across the road from one of Singapore's famous Indian temples, in Chinatown. More soon.

Almost caught up to date with the posting... almost. Here's one of my favourite from Little India in Singapore. Was walking through and found this street art on a patch of grass almost in the middle of nowhere. More soon.

Another one from Singapore. This time from the famous Little India. I saw this really colourful house and pulled out the wide angle 14mm and shot... capturing the pigeon in mid-flight was one of those one in a lifetime flukes. More soon.

One of the posts had to be about racing. Took this during Free Practice when Stroll and Sirotkin from the Williams Martini Racing team went free-styling with their cars. It was all very dramatic. More soon.

Finally caught up with my snaps from the trip. So I'm going to post them according to the dates/week that they were taken.
Took a bit of selecting, but this has got to be my favourite for the week. Shot from the entrance of Clifford Pier... now a restaurant and hotel lobby, but years ago it was the place to go to get a boat trip off the island. The restoration to this whole area is remarkable. More soon.

Was a bit of a toss up to post one of 2 photos for the week. Considering I'll be in another country in a couple of hours, I figured I'd just settle by doing a double exposure.
So here's Loki the out of control Husky hoping to grab my breakfast; and a street shot from last winter weekend in Melbourne. More next week.

Took a few of these the other morning in the city. Heard her sing from across the road, and we were mesmerised.
So here's this week's offering of a beautiful voice on a Sunday morning in the city. More next week.

Took this slightly out of the week deadline, but I did have a few shots within the week that I wanted to post.
So here's the new toy. It's a Ukulele Bass. Beautiful Mahogany body, bone nut and bridge, built-in pre-amp and tuner and rubber... Yes! Rubber strings!
I hadn't picked up a bass in years and was initially looking around for an electronic drum set, which I hadn't played with in years as well. Anyway, came across the Uke bass online, read some reviews, tried it out at the store, and bought one. It's heaps of fun and completely playable in most music genres. In fact with the rubber strings it's sounds more acoustic bass than what you'd think a small ukulele body could produce. So it's time to get back to playing bass. More soon.
Strobist info: Godox V860ii flash on a stand, top left of the camera. triggered by a Godox X1T set at 1/128 power from under a metre away.

Haven't done a pano in a while, so I thought this one of the intersection of Russell and Little Burke St. would be a nice change. More soon.

Can't believe it's already August. Just getting my shots uploaded to prepare for a month's time when I'm off to the Singapore Grand Prix, Look out for heaps more then.
I'll have a faster camera with a kick ass sensor... and my trust worthy 70-200.
Anyway, this is from the weekend... walking through one of the dozens of buildings (mainly churches). More soon.

Took this with my new Samyung 14mm f2.8 lens. It's all manual and it's really wide! and you can see the amount of distortion there is in the lens. Still this is going to be a really fun lens to use come Melbourne Open House Weekend. More soon.

Was my birthday week and didn't really get out much. The week after my birthday has been quite busy though, so that explains the late post.
Anyway this was taken on one of my sojourns into the city, just passing the Prince's Bridge... Not a really good place to come undone. More next week.

Late posting again. Shot quite a bit this week, but got too engrossed in the release of Solo to be concentrating on posting. So here's one portrait with a touch of god light and lens flare. Normal post will resume in a couple of days or so.

Got a 50mm out for the night to shoot. It's a shade off my favourite, but still quite fine.
Taken from the car (passenger seat) on a cold night in May; this is St Kilda Road on the way to the city. More next week.

Should have done this on the weekend, but here's the Star Wars Day post. Thought I'd get in a few different post-processing effects in this, so we have a little dispersion, a little double exposure, a little HDR and some bokeh (although that's not post-processing). May the force be with you. More next week.

Can't decide if I should post my Star wars day image today, and mess with the shot-a-week time continuum, or just stick to the schedule and post when it due (2 days time). So I've gone for the 2nd option.
This week's shot is another composite from a couple of days ago. The moon was out, low and full, so I decided to build my shot for the week around that. Meow next week.

Finally caught up with my posting. Really need to 1) get a camera, 2) go out and shoot more, 3) post. For the past 2 months or so, it's been pretty hectic and somewhat difficult to keep up, but I'm glad I'm now up to date, with my next post not due for another couple of days!
Anyway, this is a composite from last weekend's Supernova Comic Con and some street shots from the city. Also just good timing for the release of Avengers Infinity War. Here's Natasha Romanov aka Black widow.
More next week.

In my attempt to catch up with posting, I've been delayed by what I should post. Do I do my usual bum shot from the street? Do I do another double exposure? Do I feature some event that I went to during there week in question? Well I did try the first 2, and was a bit too busy to do the third; so here's one of favs from a couple of weeks ago.
This is the shot of the jet doing a first pass over Albert Park, upside down, causing a few beers to spill, a few kids to cry from the shock and the rest of us to look up in wonder. More soon.

Missed this year's St Kilda Festival, so here's something from outside the festival - The infamous Grey Street. Better known for being seedier side of St Kilda, moments before I took this shot, a girl was seen removing the tags from a whole bunch of clothing she already had on, right on the footpath, in plain sight. More next week.

The Australia Day long weekend turned out to be a real hot one. With temperatures in the high 30s and high humidity, it was a wonder so many came out to play at the Australia Day Parade and party at Kings Domain at the botanical gardens. I took this on my way home, when the roads were still relatively quiet and everyone was still in a party mood. More next week.

Finally back to street shooting. Really wished I brought my 50mm on this little walkabout (less intrusive, and at f1.4 heaps more bokeh). Still, couldn't resist the light falling on the columns, stairs and the people when I saw the scene. More next week.
