Taken aboard the cruise ship Cinderella when I was on a Baltic cruise with my classmates earlier this month.
I managed to forget at some point that I had put a roll of 400 speed film in the XA and a significant part of that roll was exposed for ISO 800. Don't know about this frame, but it didn't hurt in this case anyway.
Esta es la clasica flor que anuncia la primavera ....preciosa donde las hay delicada como una madre .... y muy efimera pues su vida es muy corta .... pero el tiempo en el que esta viva llena de gozo y placer a aquellos que saben apreciar la gran sensibilidad de esta flor
If I was a seagull, I'd sit there all day too. Just starin'. Starin' at the sea. And the purdy clouds. And I'd sigh in seagull language and stuff. Yessum.

Port Lockroy is a Museum on the Antarctic Peninsula, which gave us the chance to send postcards and buy souveniers. We also dropped off three people who were going to work there for a few months, and picked up one who was going home.
As well as visiting Base A, we landed at Jougla Point, which is pretty much in the same place, and finally got to see a seal up close. Food that night was a barbecue on deck (with vegetarian option!) with a spectacular sunset ... not bad ;-)
this charming little tree grew pride of place at the Burrard Street skytrain station, which is known for its fabulous display of cherry blossom laden trees, and then when we returned the following year it was gone! ... and in its place was a new little twirp, I hope I get to return to this blossom heaven soon and see how the twirp has grown, but I'm glad I got to photograph this charmer before his mysterious demise.
seen seven years ago tomorrow.
Amigas desejo à todas vcs muita Paz, Muita Saúde, Muita Alegria e Muitos paninhos em 2011
Beijos em todas

If u didn't know, this is the Sydney Opera House, in Australia...
And the lighting of the opera house and buildings in Sydney is part of the Vivid Sydney festival.
If u can get to it, it is a lovely stroll around our great town...
This was a more refined attempt to capture the projector beams as well as the light display. To get enough light from the beams, I had to have a long exposure, this meant that the opera house had too much light.
to balance the light, I held up my phone over the bottom third of the lens for 25sec, and then removed it for 5 secs, so that the opera house wasn't blown out too much.
ISO 400, 16-35mm@30mm, f/5.6, 30secs, tripod, raw, phone GND
Imagine if you were unable to touch or kiss your newborn baby. This is an ordeal thousands of families, whose child arrives too soon, too small or too sick, are forced to go through each year.
But you can help. By baking and selling cupcakes, you’ll be raising funds to help support families during what can be a very lonely and frightening time, and to provide a brighter future for their babies.
Some facts and figures:
• There is a shortage of 1,150 nurses to care for the 70,000 babies in need of specialist hospital care in England. Less than a third of units have enough nurses to meet minimum standards.
• Neonatal units are working way above recommended occupancy levels meaning there is no safety net for peaks in the number of babies being admitted to units.
• Families of babies admitted to specialist hospital care face a crippling financial strain on top of the normal costs of having a new baby.
• Over half of parents face the prospect of not being able to stay near their baby in hospital due to a shortage of overnight rooms for families.
Cake A Difference is the annual fundraising initiative from Bliss, the special care baby charity. Bliss offers guidance and information at a critical time in families' lives, funds ground-breaking research and campaigns for babies to receive the best possible level of care regardless of when and where they are born.
Cake A Difference 2011 takes place from 14-20 February 2011. For more ideas on how you can support Bliss contact katiaw@bliss.org.uk
Go ahead, bake my day!
Feliz 2011♥
Happy New Year♥

Another shot taken with my N8 - must get the Sony Alpha out and dust it off - but it is so big ... compared to my N8 ...
This important garden occupies an area of over 80 acres surrounding Bodnant House, most of which was first laid out by Henry Davis Pochin, a successful industrial chemist, from 1874 onwards until his death in 1895. Bodnant House had been built in 1792 but was remodelled by Pochin and on his death it was inherited by his daughter (whose husband became the first Baron Aberconway in 1911). The garden, but not the House or other parts of the estate, was presented to the National Trust, with an endowment, in 1949. The House was the home of the late Lord Aberconway, and members of his family continue to be actively involved in the management of the garden, its tea pavilion and car parks on behalf of the National Trust.

This is not exactly what I had in mind for yesterdays July 4th fireworks, but it will have to do. I had planned to use bulb-mode to extend the shutter past 30 seconds to really smooth out the water, but apparently my remote doesn't work with my new D7000, or the batteries were dead. Either way, I guess i should have tested that out before it got dark, lol. I was also planning to get a better exposure on the foreground wildflowers, but I just couldn't get it without turning up the ISO, which created a whole different problem. One other issue was that the fireworks were all going off at the same location, so a lot of shots were over exposed due to the overlapping light. I was really hoping they would have angled and/or spread out the fireworks a little better.
Taken from the pier that extends out from Whitefish Island. I was looking for a better location to get a full reflection, but the spots I had in mind were wet and I knew my wife wouldn't want to go bushwhacking in her sandals :)
film, sooc.
Cardiff, Wales.
Last year I did a little recap on the year that had just passed and I enjoyed it so I thought I'd do the same this year. It has been a big one, I dont expect you to read this all as it is very long hahaha but thats ok, it's more for me.
Jan I was back living at home with Mum and working at the local fashion store to try to save as much money as I could with the plan to go overseas again. Mum and I took a few days off and went for a little holiday to Tasmania, where I made the most of my new DSLR and explored. The weather was quite cold for summer and it rained quite a bit, but it was still a good trip.
Feb I had my birthday and mums birthday and my brother celebrated his first wedding anniversary and my little nephew Benjamin John was born. Little did I know how much he would wrap me around his little finger and how much I would enjoy being an Aunty. I took Kristy around the mornington peninsula and we used my tripod and my remote (that has now broken) and we did a shoot together. That was awesome.
Mar Still working a lot and doing all the research I could on the trip I was planning.
Apr Had a surprise birthday party for my brother, and babysat my nephew for the first time. I tried to make sure I was still going out and exploring as much as I could - especially seeings as I wasnt spending money at all.
May I finished my 365 project!! I was proud of myself for making it to the end. It felt strange to close something that had been such a big part of my life for a year and at first I was a little bit lost. It got easier though. I went to the consulate and applied for a UK visa.
Jun I got stuck into real trip planning and I started narrowing things down. I decided that I should do a group tour and although it scared me a fair bit I knew it would be good for me. I made a little book on blurb and made it available for people to buy and although I only sold one copy (to a friend) I was really proud of myself for making it and seeing it through. I started a collab project with Janey and really enjoyed opening up and working together.
Jul I booked my flights, my tour, my train tickets, my accom and did a loooooooooooooot more research. Things were coming together and I was getting SO excited. I handed my notice in to work and I did a lot of reading.
Aug I finished up at work, I had a little going away lunch at my Aunty's house and I left Australia on the 16th. How incredible to think that less than a year before I was in Vancouver and getting ready to head home. I started a 52 weeks project to help me remember what I was going to experience, and it felt good to get back into something. I flew into Heathrow and I stayed in South Kensington for a week on a university campus (whilst they were away for summer) and I fell in love with London. I went to St Paul's Cathedral where I was deeply moved by the architecture and the history and most of all by the overall feeling it left me with. I stopped myself from crying atleast 8 times and I climbed to the top of the dome and sat and listened. I also ended up with bursitis and had a really painful knee which made walking and stairs and suitcases a lot harder than normal. I did some rural travel and sat on a lot of trains. I met up with my little (surrogate) sis in Lincoln and she showed me her forest and we did an awesome shoot and I thought how incredible to meet someone I had only known through the internet and feel so comfortable with them. Then I went to Norwich where I ran into a familiar face, then onto Canterbury and finishing up in Bath. Then back to London, my first night in a hostel and onto my bus tour with 30+ strangers.
Sep I made friends with two girls from Perth named Sophie and Bhreagh and we shared a room together throughout the whole trip. Most of the people on the tour were Aussies, and we tended to find our own little groups to break off from the pack with. We stayed in Amsterdam, Berlin, Prague, Munich, Venice, Rome, Florence, Lauterbrunnen (Switzerland) and Paris. We would usually arrive at the town in the afternoon and then have the night and the next full day to explore. The scenery was incredible and each place we went to overwhelmed me with the history and the architecture and I just tried to make the most of it and take it all in. Highlights: 5 story nightclub in Prague along with the 5km walk home and Prague in general, Dachau, Van Gogh museum, the drive through the Italian alps, snowball fight/snowman making on Jungfrau and the last day in Paris. I bonded over the fresh prince rap with a lovely American named Alyssa, and I also got on very well with two other people from Perth - Olly and Jack. We explored and danced and I took a lot of photos and I enjoyed it a lot more than I thought I would. I learnt a lot. On the 17th we got back to London and said goodbye to each other and I stayed in a cheap hotel in London for a week and relished the extra time in the morning to get ready and my own big bed. Had a few problems with the bank but got that all sorted just in time to fly out to Istanbul, Turkey to meet Sophie and Bhreagh for an eastern europe tour they had invited me to do with them. Another bus and another group of new people. This time I made friends with another lovely American girl Nilam (more reasons to come visit the US again SOON!) and a few other Aussies. We went from Turkey to Greece to Albania to Montenegro to Croatia. This time we only had one night in each place, so we found there was a lot less time to explore but we made the most of what time we had. Highlights: toga karaoke, swimming with the nonnas on Corfu, Gallipoli, Meteora and Dubrovnik. It was lovely to go to places that I am sure I wouldnt have gotten to visit otherwise and reconnecting with B and Soph was really great too.
Oct Finished the tour and stayed a few extra nights in Split, Croatia. Traumatic hostel experience. Flew back to London and chatted to the lady next to me who was a lovely Aussie that was living in South Africa and had married a British man. Interesting life! Then went to the first homestay in England, which went well really. Caught up with Nilam and Sophie for Camden markets/lunch and stumbled upon random live music. It was so lovely to see them. After a week there I flew to Dublin and met up with Jack, it was good to see him again! We explored around Dublin and caught up and then went to Galway together and I have to say it is one of those adventures that holds a special place in my heart. Ireland was a beautiful country,the people were so friendly and kind. Highlights: Aran Islands, Cobb, climbing two mountains - Bray and Kylemore Abbey, and as always just exploring in general. I loved taking photos here so very much, and the conversations. The b&b in Salthill in Galway also had the most gorgeous room for me to stay in and the breakfast was incredible. Then Jack and I said goodbye and I flew back to London and to another homestay. A week there and I didnt enjoy it that much but I stayed and explored and discovered Tesco's 3 pound lunch deal - a lifesaver!!
Nov Then I tried a different homestay and found one that I loved. I stayed for two weeks in a house with a lovely lady and two students - Sejin from South Korea and Kostas from Greece and we got on so well. It was lovely to just be able to chat about life and random things about our countries. I felt at home here, and I visited Oxford, Warwick Castle, Windsor Castle, Hampton Court Palace Gardens, Stratford-upon-avon & the Cotswolds. I fell in love with the colours of Autumn. I went to visit Lou again and we did another shoot, then I went to Cardiff for 5 days to cross another country off the list and explored a lot. Then I went to visit Rosa and then back to London for my last night and a catch up with Nilam. Then I got on the bus and visited Chippenham and my friend Adam again before he drove me to Heathrow and my journey ended. After a delay on the flight I arrived safely and said hello to Mum again on the 22nd November. It felt strange to be home. I got to see my nephew - who by now was almost 10 months old and had grown so very much. We babysat him again and I fell in love even more with being an Aunty.
Dec I caught up with family and friends and started to settle back into life at home. I started looking for work and a place to move into. I got a job with the company I have worked for before and was offered a share house to stay in near the city. Jack moved to my side of the country and he came down to visit me, so I showed him around the area I grew up in. It was lovely to find that after everything and being home on Australian turf we still got on well, and he has become a friend whom I cherish. I got back into full time work and was challenged by taking on the Assistant Manager role, but I stuck with it and made it through a tough week. I celebrated Benji's first christmas and saw some family that I hadnt seen in a few years too, which was lovely.
Phew what a year it has been!!!
I am so blessed to have such lovely friends and I appreciate all of your support, flickr is an important part of my life. Thankyou!!!
Happy New Year everyone and I hope your 2012 is the best year yet!!
