Pic of the Week: Hummingbird in a shopping centre

November 3rd 2009 02:07

Now here’s a cool and eye-catching way to promote a television range. With all the sleek and shiny plasmas, LCDs and what-have-yous vying for our attention these days, this not-so-little bird tells us to go for a Samsung TV.

Pic of the Week: Couple at Customs House

September 22nd 2009 07:23

This isn’t a very good photo. The sun light had already receded behind Customs House*, leaving it looking rather drab.

Pic of the Week: Drawing a Crowd

July 15th 2009 03:00

Buskers tend to be quite physical and/or audible in order to attract attention if you think of the musicians, contortionists and jugglers. But not street artists like this guy.

Precious Trees

February 27th 2009 01:47

I know next to nothing about art (or trees, for that matter), but there is a sculptural appeal to trees that often has me putting my battered, little camera to more work than usual.

Among the tree collection in the Royal Botanic Gardens are ones planted around its establishment some 200 years ago, and other trees which are rare in the wild and difficult to collect today. Shown here is a very small fraction of the trees you’ll find in the 30 hectare Gardens

Sydney pictures: Part 1

November 18th 2008 00:22

I’ve accumulated quite a few photos over the years and more since the day I spent a sizeable chunk of my pay on a digital camera that is now dirt cheap (small sob). Self-pity aside, it’s a good little camera even an amateur like me can use and not stuff up the shots too badly.
