Wellington Point – Take 2

Today I had planned to head up to Montville/Maleny to have lunch and go for a little bushwalk, but by the time we woke up and got ready it was already lunch time. Not wanting to waste the day, and with a little time up our sleeves, we decided to head over to Wellington Point to take some sunset photos. The clouds were quite interesting, and the sunset turned out to be quite a sight! It’s a shame I got carried away taking shots of the pelican, and missed half of the great colours in the sky.

Sydney Weekend

On the weekend, Camille and I headed down to Sydney for some R&R. Instead of writing a blog post, here are just a few of the photos I took (because I’m lazy).

Wellington Point

Camille and I have been wanting to head out to Wellington Point for a while now to take some photos. I haven’t been out that way for years, so I decided to do a bit of recon this afternoon in case we decide to head out before the sun comes up some day. Don’t want to be trying to find a spot when you can’t see anything! I had assumed that being on the coast, I would need to get up for sunrise shots, but it turns out that the sunset shots are quite nice anyway. It was a good chance to try the new grad filters I bought at work :)

Friendly visitors

As Camille and I were heading out to dinner with her relatives, I noticed a rustling coming from the tree next to our stairs. It turned out to be two possums (a big one and a little one) feasting on the berries in the tree. We were already running a bit late, and I only had my 50mm lens on the camera, but I just had to take some photos of the cute little critters. Surprisingly they didn’t even run away – they just kept eating! I decided I would only take my prime lenses to dinner, as they needed a good workout (I haven’t used them for quite a while!). The following photos were either taken with my 50mm f/1.8 or my 28mm f/2.8 lenses at ISO 800/1000. A little bit of noise in the photos at such high ISO, but nothing Lightroom 3 couldn’t fix up :)
