Photo Projects update

I am still working on the Photo Projects for 2022 ..... enthusiasm is a bit low at the moment, but I will see the year out.

We had a bit of a 'bokeh' workshop at my Mawson Lakes Photography Club where we had a bit of fun with lights.  One of the other members brought in these gorgeous Christmas ornaments for us to photograph.


It was a great night at the club - another night where the time just disappeared into the blink of an eye.

I think I will have to have a go at home and see what I can come up with.

Now into my garden.  


The Callistemon/Bottle Brush plant by my front window is blooming .... it seemed to burst into colour overnight.

Linking with Floral Friday Foto

That's it from me for now .... see you again soon!

Out and About Adelaide - Part II

Here are a few more photos from my Street Photography outing.



This is 'Door Five' of the Adelaide Convention Centre.  Such an interesting building.  


This is part of the new Adelaide Railway Station entrance ...... well new in March 2021, but I had never been there before!

I loved my walk around the City and looked at it with new eyes..... I need to go back and take some more photos.

Out and about Adelaide

I did a Photo Workshop run by the SAPF  a few weeks ago.  It was a 'Street Photography/Photojournalism' workshop and it was a lot of fun!

I have often admired other street photographer's images and was very glad to get the opportunity to try it myself, in the relative safety of a group workshop environment.

The day started with some basic practical instructions on camera settings and we learned about some of the 'greats' in Street photography, then we ventured out as a group into the City.

I hadn't been into the City since Mr Fixit retired from work over 5 years ago and quite a few things had changed ...... the thing that struck me the most was a lot of tall buildings had been built since I was last there .... and we are truly a multicultural city!




Whilst we were there primarily for 'street photography' I could not help but be drawn to some of the beautiful buildings that are now in our gorgeous city.


I will share some more images a bit later.  It certainly did the 'photo mojo' some good getting out and about with other photographers and the sun coming out in the afternoon to reveal these beautiful reflections made the cold early morning start all worthwhile.


If you are thinking about doing a course with SAPF, I can wholeheartedly say 'go for it!'  The course went over 1.5 days (1 full day Saturday workshop/outing, with an evening session held on the following Tuesday to share our images).  Morning Tea & Lunch was provided on Day 1, with coffee/tea available on the evening session.

2022 Photo Projects

I have been a bit slack with my Photo Projects this year - the 'photo mojo' is somewhat lacking at the moment.

Here are some images I have taken for the various Photo Projects I started at the beginning of the year.

Skywatch Friday - February 2022

Boy, where has the time gone!

I stepped out to do some grocery shopping and this gorgeous sky greeted me!

A Patch of blue .... 

I instantly thought of a story by Enid Blyton I read when I was young ..... about a patch of blue sky big enough to make sailor's trousers .......

And .................

I couldn't help but start humming the 'Simpsons' theme music in my head.

2021 Photo Projects - compiling results

Well, here we are 1st Day of January 2022 .........

Here are some of my last entries for my 2021 photo projects.

In June my friend Joy and I had a few days at Victor Harbor - the weather was cold, wet and windy but we had a great time (we always do!).

No Photos Today


Coorong National Park


One of my favourite flowers to photograph are my roses, especially the Just Joey.

Just Joey Still Life

2021 was a strange year and at times was quite difficult, but we got through in the end. 

Here's to a much better 2022!
