Short Beaked Echidna
During a trip from Upper Beaconsfield through Guys Hill, my daugher and I came across a Short Beaked Echidna (Tachyglossus aculeatus) wandering through the bush on the side of the road. Having a love for photographing wildlife, I could not help but stop and take some photos from a reasonable distance so as to not scare the animal. This photo was taken with a Sony A7R 4 and Sigma 150-600mm telephoto. The camera settings were: 1/1250, f/6.3 & ISO 640. The image was edited in Lightroom CC and with Aurora HDR before being finished off in Topaz Denoise AI. Interesting fact about the Echidna: The spines you see on an echidna are actually long, tough, hollow hair follicles.

This is a view of Mount Alfred from up the side of another mountain in Kinloch, Otago, New Zealand. The type of wide angle lens I'm using makes Mount Alfred appear far off and small, but in reality it is quite a bit larger. I got here by helicopter and was just one of a dozen spots chosen by our pilot from Over The Top - The Helicopter Company in Queenstown, New Zealand. More at goo.gl/HAb4bs
This is a picture of the old pier in St. Petersburg Florida that took a couple of years ago. It’s been torn down and I they just removed the last piece of it couple of days ago. It’s a little sad. May she rest in pieces. Read more at goo.gl/mU2keK
Woody negotiates the rock piles of Gird Point at sundown.

This is a section of Wreck Beach near the University of British Columbia. It's secluded which accounts for it being a favorite among nudist. I visited it fully clothed in winter.
I like this in a geeky kind of way because both the foreground and background elements appear in focus. It's also very different than the beaches back home in Florida. Sometimes I post photos just for the scenery and memory, and I suppose this is one of those.
Thank goodness for old photos, I would forget so much without them. There is so much going on in the present, that the past gets crowded out. Not that I want to live in the past, but pictures pull together things I've done and places I've been which helps provide the backstory to where I am today.
Trying to be arty with the Disney Bottling Co building, one wall is covered with corrugated steel filled with lit Chinese graphics. Reflected against the window I rather liked the effect, especially with the waitress behind doing her job.

This is a long exposure panorama of three separate images; the exposure is about ten-seconds. Now that cooler weather is on the way I think its time to get out and enjoy. Not that I need an excuse. More: goo.gl/rpQ9CQ
On Monday I noticed a sunrise taking shape as I drove home from the gym. I grabbed my gear and headed across the river to capture the colors as they lite the sky. I barely made it on account of all the traffic, most people were driving to work. By the time I finished and headed back over the bridge the roads were clogged. I was late for work. But you know? Getting a nice photo makes it all worth while. More on the blog: goo.gl/4xS8Zs
