People seem to really like this photo. It's definitely the symmetry; very attractive! I enjoy it too but am not 100% convinced, I never really am with my photos but I don't tend to think this is one of the better shots. Nonetheless, it is currently my desktop wallpaper so I obviously like it to some extent. Or I'm just talking utter garbage... who knows.

This is a wide-angle shot that I have cropped. This is the first photo where I have done some serious post production. I used Adobe Lightroom 4! The photo has a much more dramatic effect now, and I darkened the bystanders who were wearing quite bright colours, taking away from the breakdancer. I reminds me of a Nike ad, but that might just be his shoes...

I considered copping out the shadow but felt it was more dramatic with the shadow so I left it. Still undecided though!

My younger sister playing with bubbles. For some reason kids love this, and I know I did! This shot was actually unplanned, it came out great i tried to replicate the photo by instructing her and none of the shots came out as good as this one!

This was taken at the Australian Open in 2012. I only had my 28-105mm lens and they actually checked the focal length of my lens before letting me into the event. Which I did not even consider as a possibility but luck was on my side.

Summer Fun

Imagine doing this everyday... Cruising along the beach on skateboards, knocking back a few ciders on the grass in the sun, not having a worry in the world.
I do not understand how some people don't like summer! It is the best, even just waking up and seeing the bright blue sky and sun shinning just makes me feel great. I love winter too, because dressing up during winter is more interesting. But we all know summer is more fun.

This is the sunrise one morning in Broadbeach. I love the beams coming from the sun. They were actually visible in the sky; not simply a side-effect of the camera. Amazing.

I will be uploading a series with the theme of "old and new". Attempting to capture the contrast between vintage and modern as they are integrated with each other. 
 
I am strangely attracted to this contrast. 

It is all around us.

This shot was taken at 6.30pm in February in Broadbeach Queensland.

You may have noticed this is not a conventional photo of the sunset. Most of us are used to the glowing red sunset that is usually captured. Is this even a sunset?
