Bird photos

I took some cool photos of birds while at the park last night with the kids. Check these out. I was trying to get some good group shots of cockatoos flying together, but the light was too low and the shutter speed wasn't fast enough to stop the flight of most of the birds. So I wasted a hundred or so shots to get about 1 halfway decent one. Thank goodness for digital cameras.
However I did get these three good ones, including one in flight against the evening sky. Click them to see the larger image. I particularly like the reflective content of the center shot of the water fowl. The ripples make the water look very metallic.

Weekend Round up

So much happened I cant write it all down but some summaries will have to do.

Football - played 2 games in the tournament - damaged my hamstring again though not badly - however will be needing some work on it. Played full forward for about 15 minutes and kicked a behind, got a tackle that went un rewarded, missed another kick and had 3 coring opportunities where the ball kicked to me didn't come straight to me and I couldn't mark it. Still hd lots of fun and the team is starting to gel. The rest of the time I played in defence and laid a lot of tackles and disposed of the ball cleanly. The coach said afterward I had clean hands. Oh and I had a contested mark inside 50 that I went back to kick, but one of our players ran into space in the pocket so I kicked to him, and his kick was touched on the line.

Fireworks Photos

Christmas time is a great time for watching other people burning their money for your enjoyment. We went out to a street party put on by local council and businesses Saturday evening. The conclusion was some fireworks. Not as spectacular as the last lot, but because I had the good camera (being forewarned) and had time to fiddle with the settings to take the best fireworks shots, I got some beauties. Check them out in the fireworks Image Gallery.
