Last night i headed out towards a well decorated house down the street, 26 Pindari st to be precise.

Out the front of a house near mine. It takes them ~3 months to set it all up (in their spare time)

The wonderful thing about christmas lights is the bokeh they create

I closed the 50mm up to 3.5 for that nice hexagon bokeh

This one is the same as the other photo except that I opened up the f stop to the full 1.8 which gave me the nice round bokeh.

Santa in the garden

Some times unfocused lights make a great photo

Deer in the garden

Again I couldn’t choose between the two photos, this time i changed the focus to the second deer.

A full wide of the garden

A lonely deer?

Last Night was the 2009 QACI Semi formal, here are the results. Click here for the hi-fi version post (Bigger Images, Slower to load)

Hi-res prints & images are avalible upon request.

A HDR Tilt shift taken from up on Mount Coo-tha of Brisbane. It was shown in my recent exhibition and was favoured by several people of significance to me. Unfortunately right now I am about to “Exam Block” and thus posting will most likely be delayed for a month. But after that however I will be free and may even go back to a daily blog, but I guess we’ll see about that. This photo looks way better larger so do it!

A shot from the outside of the The Abandoned Wacol Mental Asylum. The kangaroos around me seemed a little edgy, maybe they were jealous. Image is slightly crooked on purpose, see if you can work out why.

Took another trip to Wacol today… Balancing on in old doorway for 6 exposures sure was fun!

More from Wacol.

A Big thanks to Christolakis for the location of this amazing place. me and a friend were there for about 2 hours, it was a very hot day. Sure made me wish a had a wider lens. if you know of any similar places pm me on Flickr or leave a comment.

You really have to view this large or larger to get it in properly, unfortunately I lost some of the photo to cropping, but if I go back there I’ll be sure to try again.

After spending 50 minutes looking for a way to get up here I finally got the shot I was looking for, was it worth it? Looks better in large

Just my dog in the back yard.

Testing out the New 50.0 mm f/1.8, wow. Only thing was that this was out of focus. Oh well, At school we had a language day, obviously it ended with a piñata. This was the moment that it broke open.

I was lucky enough to capture an ambulance rushing past me during this long exposure shot.
