It was a busy weekend here. Our eldest had a sleep over with her girlfriends for her birthday, and much photography was fitted around that. I made pancakes for breakfast. Yum
Dave went birding on Saturday morning, so up at the crack of pre-dawn, only to be rained out – a total of 4 shots. Not worth getting out of bed for, if you ask me. Goodness knows that I didn’t!
Saturday saw his beginner’s photography class, so he was out much of the day for that.
We’re currently working on a website for that, to turn it into a full blown business.
It never stops around here, I swear!

I had a kids halloween party scheduled for Saturday night, but Dave was supposed to be shooting, so it was just me and the kids.
Poor boy spent Saturday with a headache, so not only didn’t he get to go shooting, but he didn’t get to attend a fun party (all the kids activities were organised, leaving the grownups to sit around and chat. Now thats the sort of kid’s party I like!)
Why yes, this post has been all about me. Its my blog, so I think I am entitled occasionally.
He did get out on Sunday to shoot birds up at Mt Glorious. He caught a great Echidna photo – click through so you can see the video

– that I didn’t see.
Brisbane City saw a Zombie Walk on Saturday, a for-charity thing where people dress up as zombies and walk, well, lurch if they are doing it right, through town.
The ABC News headline included the gem of a headline of Undead lurch through Brisbane, which sadly leads to a not terribly inspired short story about the event.
But Dave went! And he took Master 7 with him.
Dave took 6 photos.
Master 7 took 132.
Even though I am told he spent a lot of time hiding behind Dad.
Because while he tells me he spends most of his time fighting monsters, zombies walking (yes, yes, I know *lurching*) down the road in front of him were really a bit much, although fortunately there were no bad dreams. (Good, I like sleeping in my bed, not his)
Nonetheless, if you asked him, I am sure he would tell you that he is a photographer “just like his dad”

There is an airshow at Amberley RAAF Base on the weekend. Dave has a professional photography shoot planned. Some planned buyer for the photos, not sure who – all I know is that I’m not going!
Standing around on miles of hot tarmac on what is expected to be a very hot day? Not my idea of fun. Admittedly, I’m not a shutterbug, but spending all that time in the heat is not my idea of fun! Probably a boy thing. I expect the boys will have a ball and come home hot, tired and sunburnt with big smiles on there faces.
And thats the point, isn’t it.
Later: and, wow! Yes, it was hot out there and the boys came back a little sunburnt and very worn out, but worth it, very worth it. Have you see this F-111 Dump-n-Burn photo?

Today be Talk Like A Pirate Day! Arrr!
And here be what David came up with – arr! Talk like a pirate too!
(I agree it was unfair of him not to put an X to mark the spot!)
The ‘talk like a pirate’ meme sweeps across the blogosphere every year – lots of fun!

I feel so clever – I suggested to Dave that a photo he took while we were up north would turn into a seamless photo easily. He did the work and I was right! It seamlesses (its a word if I use it as one) beautifully!
He’s published it as a stock photo of seamless rocks, so you can buy a copy if Continue Reading »

We were out geocaching yesterday (mostly as a way to get out of the house on a Sunday afternoon, now that the weather is turning nicer) when our route took us to Tullamore Park in Dayboro, which was a pleasant find – tucked between houses with a path to walk down from the street. We found the cache, no worries (although it didn’t help that Dave had forgotten to translate the clue, so I had to do a ROT-13 in my head!) but the park was just swarming with birdlife. I suppose it is the season – Spring is just about to be sprung, so the bird should be on the wing 
Anyway, the point of all this rambling is that we were Continue Reading »
