New Camera!! - Nikon D750

So, used it to take a photo of the nearest available subject....
One of our cats, doing something she should not have been doing!



It is the full frame Nikon D750.  (the camera - not the cat).
So far feels great.  Some little things that I will need to get used to... and I am back down to just 3, prime lenses after the change to full frame, a 20, 50 and 85mm.
Looking forward to understanding it, and getting some shots with it!

Carnival of flowers

Toowoomba Carnival of Flowers this weekend.
Toowoomba really is a beautiful place to live and the Carnival is a bit of a celebration of that.

Not that the photos here have too many flowers in them... mostly just stuff....

The Compere

Izak was the main role in his school musical last night.
He played a compere in a singing game show....
I might be a little biased, but I think he did an awesome job!

Hiding from myself


One I have been meaning to do for a while...
The topic for the photography competition this month at TPS is "Selfie"... so I thought, why not?!


Photogeeking:  This photo took several years of planning... 4 or 5 years ago, I started developing a clone of myself (he is the one in the red shirt)...  he is not much good for most things, but was useful for this.  He sees things fairly simply and spends a lot of time cranky, so convincing him to do this was not hard.  A flash through an umbrella was used for the blue me... a direct flash for the red me, with another one filling in some of the detail.
