Anyway, here are a couple of pictures from Christmas Day!

Cracked a few up and cut them open in the bottom of the bath, made a good old fashioned mess and then got the camera set up!

These are my favourite shots out of all of them!

I decided to do some more time lapse photography last night, and originally intended doing this sequence just to see how the clouds move during the night.

However, when I saw how clear the stars were, I went for it, and left it running from 10pm until 6am.

I'm really happy with how this turned out I'm hopefully going to do a proper shoot next weekend, get out into the countryside where it's nice and dark and get my tent up!

Out in the garden today and I found 2 ladybugs sitting on my wall, it looks like they're having fun! Well, they would be if ladybugs weren't entirely into procreation...

I love the lighting on this! I deliberately shot into the sun as it shows how translucent the spider is!

I was out in the garden today and I found these little guys growing on our lawn!

My cousin Charmaine looking fantastic on her wedding day!

My niece Alexa giving me a wonderfully cheeky grin!

It was very misty on Friday morning so I thought I would get a few shots before I went to work, the sun was coming through the mist in the most fantastic orange colour, and I love how the photos have come out!

I went out for a nice drive last night, with the intention of doing lots of star photography, but I pretty much bailed because it got bloody cold outside and I wasn't dressed for it!!

I got out just before sunset and this is one of the first photos I took, and I love it, the smooth colour change in the sky and the sharpness of the tree all come together!

I took my MR2 out for a little spin tonight and had a cracking idea to do some light trail shots on the side of the main road between Melton and Great Dalby. I did have one strange bloke pull into the side of the road asking me if I was waiting for someone, which freaked me out a little bit!

Well the weather outside was horrible today, so I had to come up with something fun that I could do from inside. I decided to have a go at some time-lapse photography and I'm really happy with how it has come out!

This was really just a bit of an experiment so it's not perfect, I was just trying out some different things. What I won't be doing next time though, is rendering it all on my laptop, what a ball-ache! 20 minutes to encode 90 seconds of video from still images? I'll definitely run it from my desktop next time!

Mum, Lewis and Sarah, doing a little posing! The weather wasn't great and it was very overcast, so I did my best! Lewis looks a lot cuter and less scary than earlier!

Lewis pulling his scariest face with a blue torch shining on him. I love this photo!

Just a couple of portraits I took whilst my cousins were down!
