Busy busy
Well still here in the Territory as you can see by the attire and not long before things are about to get alot busier! Yep baby number 2 on the way with one very excited little sister waiting, waiting.
I have been doing my usual photography work but due to being down to just a laptop I haven’t bothered to do much editing as I find the colours vary so much. So basically all I’m doing is filling up an external harddrive with loads of images that I will one day go through.
Nearly 38 weeks pregnant now so things are slowing down somewhat, but the pool is getting a work out thats for sure. Its really hot here this time of year, build up time erhhh. Plans to move to WA are still all happening we just thought we better have the baby first..then sell the house.
My mum has been very ill and is now out of intensive care and has been tranferred to her local hospital at Margaret River. It was a scary couple of weeks but things look to be improving, yet another reminder we need to be down that way asap.
So wish me luck hopefully back soon to post some newborn baby pics!
Cheers Jules
Dirty Dirt
This used to be covered in natural bush land and is an area I used to visit to watch wondering wild Buffalo, the place I spotted my first antilopine walleroo (which I thought was a ‘big red’ at first) and to watch various finches in the tall grasses (wishing for that 400mm canon lens). It is government land that is used to collect dirt for the new bridge that is currently being built in Palmerston. When I spoke to the guy that is in charge of the area (-as i asked to drive in to take images of dump track tyres for some ttv work) he reassured me that the land is fully regenerated and no one would even know they were there. Little does he know that I have been visiting the area for long enough to watch these 2-3 square kilometre areas get wiped clean of all nature and no, years later they do not look the same.Granted though, there is enough land available here in the NT to take what you want from it without any fuss but it makes me SAD as its MY area, less than 10 kms from my home and a where I can go to see everything the territory has to offer from wandering emus to wetlands to rocky outcrops.It is where most of my ‘Through the Viewfinder’ images have been taken that appear on this blog. Anyways I said my bit…good on you if you’ve read this far as i really just wanted to rant outloud. Oh and the pano is a 6 image stitch with PTGui with no colour manipulation just a little burning and dodging. Don’t care about pano correctness in this one-I know I’ve got alot to learn re panos:)Cheers Jules
Happy time of year
Well I’m excited, I have my highschool reunion to go to in Busselton this weekend so I’ll be doing a flying dash to WA from the very wet and rainy Northern Territory. I am hoping to get a swim in a Yallingup beach and even dare I say it maybe even a surf! Have missed the ocean so much! And of course will be catching up with family and old school buddies also. Certainly my first weekend away in well, a very long time! So if I miss all the bloging christams cheers and well wishes, forgive me as I will be busy running about here and there trying to squeeze in a million things in 4 days. The above pic is a shoot I did a few months ago, thought the red was in the xmas spirit. Take care all and have a safe and fun xmas and all the best wishes for 2010!!

My apprentice
Well here is my daughter 3 years old taking in the scene at one of our favourite spots (as mentioned in previous post; Milly’s Rock ) she looks the part doesn’t she?, complete with gum boots! Looking about for future potential image gems, whats that they say? when photographing always look at the scene behind you esp at sunrise and sunset. lol Cheers Jules

Yesterday is History,
‘Tis so far away —
Yesterday is Poetry —
‘Tis Philosophy —
Yesterday is mystery —
Where it is Today
