After a few days of rain I got out to explore College Woods again and found this little pool under an old oak where the water was remarkably spiraling in these foaming eddies. Luckily I'd brought my variable ND filter... annoyingly no polariser but nether mind. I think in hindsight I'd have liked some longer exposures but I was pretty pleased with the effect anyway.
Ju Raku En, the Japanese Gardens at the University of Southern Queensland, are the largest, most traditionally designed Japanese Gardens in Australia and a delightfully peaceful retreat to spend a few hours while in Toowoomba.
They have a big lake in the middle with a number of traditional bridges making for camera friendly scenes.
Here is the link.

Just as I was about to pack up and leave this location yesterday, I turned around and saw that the waves were rushing around and spilling over these rocks, creating a really interesting composition that I had disregarded earlier. Sometimes a great shot can present itself to you when you aren't looking for one. I love moments like these and it tends to sum up landscape and seascape photography for me. Things are always changing and you just need to be ready. Taken at Tronach Head near Portknockie in Morayshire, Scotland.
Took this last year in NZ at Lake Wanaka, fairly famous and much photographed tree.
Wanted to give this a faintly japanese look. Hope it came off.
The birds sat in this tree overnight and took off not long after this shot to catch grubs and food i guess :-)
Thanks for looking.

Carmine skimmer Costa Rica ( I think it's pink but not sure as I'm colour blind) Not often I get one turning it's head in flight
An example of a tree that started to turn in early September, then stopped when the heat returned. It lost the top leaves in that process. Now the cooler weather has restarted the changing process. Five exposure HDR processed with Nik HDR Efex Pro 2
The berries are starting to turn red, as autumn approaches.
I'm still checking out the differences with the F/F K-1. Here I wanted to see what the depth of field and noise is like at slightly higher ISO.
Depth of field is nice, and there is certainly less noise than the crop sensor cameras?
The colours straight out of camera are pleasant as well.

turning 60 is no time to take it easy, this is my wife in action after her 60th birthday, that pack wasn't light and yes it was really steep
This caught my eye when I was just leaving Attenborough Nature Reserve on my way home shortly after viewing sunset. Attenborough Nature reserve is located between Beeston and Long Eaton on the Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire border.
One of the few birch leaves that still has a good amount of green. They really are beautiful and wondrous. They are actually act as lungs for the trees in the summer and let go in the winter after doing their important job of collecting light.
"Patton once said that no war is won by dying for your country, but making the other poor dumb bastard die for his. It's really a shame, when we send our own Children to die before us. Isn't it?"
I have lately been getting into the D2 System, for Kitbashing Vehicles. SAC recently had released a new Vector model that I really enjoy so figured why not show off both?
A juvenile robin in the garden turning from spots to a red breast. This change has caused the adult birds in the garden to become very aggressive towards it.
So many times
I made this crossing
What would I give
To go back to you
When I revisited this footbridge after many, many years, it was so overwhelming as I felt I was looking back at my past life, which in a way I was. I used to go across this bridge with my family as a child, walking our dogs. It is the way of life that we grow up and our parents pass over, but there are times when the loss of them becomes very acute, catching us unawares. This was one of those occasions, and I could barely press the shutter.
