Caterpillar tracks

This shot is presented here unadjusted, taken using a Panasonic TZ1 compact camera. This is yet another leftover shot from my trip to Sydney's Bondi beach and is presented here to prove that you can take a nice shot even without a whizzbang advanced camera like my Nikon D70.

Walking the bridge

A shot taken in Sydney Harbour, with a Panasonic Lumix TZ1 compact digital camera, then slightly cropped and selectively turned black-and-white. I kind of like this picture with the strong grey and black hues set off by the slight colour of the flags.

Sydney Opera House III

I don't usually use filters, but all throughout my trip in Sydney, the sky was incredibly drab and grey all the time. In this case, I digitally applied a light graduated filter on the sky to make the scene more interesting. As for the shot, I noticed this guy in a red shirt walking about and waited for him to get into just the right position and snapped this shot. I also walked around the area to find some unusual angles to take a picture of the Opera House. Taking a good picture sometimes seems accidental, but actually requires a lot of patience and observation on the part of the photographer. Nikon D70, AF-S Nikkor 12-24mm f/4

Piping hot

A street performer playing bagpipes in Australia?! Shot slightly cropped. Nikon D70, AF Micro-Nikkor 60mm f/2.8

Sydney Opera House II

The view of the Opera House from my hotel window. Unfortunately, I was only in Sydney for about a day and a half, so there was little time to walk around and explore. Nikon D70, AF Micro-Nikkor 60mm f/2.8

Sydney Opera House

Scariest

Those eyes! They keep following me! Geez man, I'm gonna have nightmares about those eyes. Nikon D70, AF Micro-Nikkor 60mm f/2.8

Scarier

Didn't think the last picture was scary? How about this one? Nikon D70, AF Micro-Nikkor 60mm f/2.8

Scary

Isn't this the scariest thing you ever saw? In fact this whole amusement park, called Luna Park in Sydney has some rather disturbing images. Unfortunately it was too late in the day to go inside. Nikon D70, AF-S Nikkor 12-24mm f/4

Catching some air

My best skateboard shot from a number of shots taken on a recent trip to Bondi beach in Sydney, Australia. I turned on the flash here to help fill in the shadows in the face. Nikon D70, AF Micro-Nikkor 60mm f/2.8.
