This mosque in Kota Kinablu is a site to behold. It is the biggest in this area and is surrounded by a man made lagoon which makes it quite unique and a great subject to photograph. I would have loved to visit it in the evening but time was not on my side so this mid afternoon shot will have to do for now.
We have just arrived back from a relaxing and adventurous week in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah Borneo. This little beach was right in front of our hotel.
Another day out and about, this time the airshow at Pearce. These are a few shots I edited tonight. Will finish sorting the other 1000 or so tomorrow if I get time.sure was a big day with one hell of a crowd of people.
The traffic heading out of the airbase was crazy, so glad I road my bike there, parked right at the door and then quietly slipped past all the suckers in cars on the way out who were lined up for miles trying to escape the place.
I’ve had a big weekend , Friday night I went to the pub. First time in ages. I ventured down to catch up with a mate who is in town down from Darwin and played a set at the Northam tavern. he plays a great blues slide guitar along with all the classics. anyway I took a few shots and played around with some different editing to try and fit the feel of what he is all about. Rawnt stands for RAW Northern Territory.
Had a great day yesterday taking part in and photographing all the action of a well organised day which included a great group of like minded four wheel drivers pitching in donations to help a couple of our local guys take part in this years variety club event at the end of the month when they set off from Newman via outback tracks etc and end up in Darwin 10,000 kms later. this is a small selection of pics I took for them.
I had the pleasure of shooting a great Birthday party last saturday night at one of our local function spots in Northam and this one of my fave’s. The theme for the night was James bond 007, casino royale and nearly all party goer’s got dressed to kill and had a ball. I thought for something a bit different I would set up a backdrop in the corner and give my elinchrom quadra lights and speed flashes a bit of a work out. We tried a few different set ups during the night and came away with some shots that fitted in with the theme quite well. I managed to get good portrait type shots of about 90% of the guests which was a bonus as well.
Up early again this morning trying to find a sunrise photo opportunity and ended up over in York, I took a few shots along the way which turned out well but this classic old barn in York itself which has been photographed to death is still one you can’t drive past if the light is half decent, anyway here it is.
Following on from my previous post these are a couple more images that I was pleased with and I think the simple colours and compositions are what attracted me to them.
After seeing some images from True North Mark I was inspired to get up a couple of hours before dawn this morning and make a run down to Cottesloe beach to checkout this years Sculptures by the sea exhibit. I was lucky to have the place to myself apart from a couple of guys with metal detectors for about half an hour before the hoards of beach goers rolled in. The light wasn’t great so black and white shot’s were what I tried to create and these are a few of them.
I have waiting for a while now to try and get a panoramic shot of Northam’s latest and greatest addition and tonight looked like it might be a chance. This is the result.
