Long time No post
Outback Shed.
Above is an image taken from one of my favourite spots to photograph, Marrakai just a few clicks down the road from us here in the Northern Territory of Australia. I have finished a Photoshop course and have am happy to try out a few new tricks I learnt along the way, infact it was a reassuring course just letting me know I am already on the right track. This image has just been processed with the channel mixer and a texture added, too easy! Now I am up with all the tricks of CS4 I’ll have to start brushing up with CS5 soon enough!
Misty Mornings
Its been a while I know things are starting to get back on track and with a short break from photography I am feeling more inspired than ever. Lately there have been a few misty mornings which has been quite strange, although we do get fog in the dry season on occasion its usually cold-ish (low 20C’s) but lately its been thick fog and 26 degrees or more.
I took this image above at a favourite spot of mine, I call “Milly’s Lookout” as I once released a Frilled Neck Lizard there after I nursed it back to health. It had been hit by a car, I stopped and picked it up before another car came and after a Vet visit a few stitches and nearly dying twice on the operating table she came back with me for months of re-hab as I often used to do volunteer wild life rescue and care. Anyways years on and I still enjoy the visiting the place I call Milly Lookout.
A recent fire had gone through leaving the place looking quite eerie in the fog, if it wasn’t for the extreme humidity and the temp I could have been in a winter wonderland somewhere- well I can dream can’t I ? I’ll be right we are having another cold snap I think tomorrow morning it might even get below 20 Degrees C! Cheers Jules
Dragonflies
Hi all ..am having a break for a bit from photos. My daughter had a nasty fall and needed stitches on her chin -poor little thing, so I’m happy to take a break from normal web stuff.
The image above is a dragonfly in its last moments of life..kinda bizarre to photograph it as it was on its last breath and me knowing the image would be with me forever but the dragonfly itself would be long gone.A small homage to these amazing little flying machines.
Cheers Jules
