Sitting at the airport waiting to board the plane. Can't think of anything I have forgotten.
The next two weeks are going to be fun, exciting, tiring, probably a bit overwhelming.... It will be interesting to see whether I get into photographic overload by the end of it.

Beach and Pool During Storm
This weekend was an awful one from a weather perspective... 3 Days of storms. However as they say every cloud has a silver lining. I got out on Sunday morning and shot some interesting photos at Mona Vale pool. The sky was very dramatic and moody, and the sun peeped out from the clouds for a just a few minutes, I ventured out on to the rocks and sand and shot some pictures before the heavens opened again. Lucky I had my umbrella close by or my camera would have got a drenching.

Port Botany
I have been thinking about photographing Port Botany for a while now. In fact I had a go a couple of months back, but didn't research the location very well and suffered from a corrupt CF card, so ended up getting no usable pictures from that shoot.
This time things were a bit different, I conducted a recce of the location on my way back from the airport last Monday. Found a perfect location that had some great old piers that would work well as foreground.
On Sunday I morning I went out, didn't run around snapping away like a headless chook, instead I already decided on two different compositions and just set up to capture them when the lighting was right. Here's the results of the shoot.
I like this one because it is quite dramatic. It was still dark when I snapped this and the light mist in the air higlighted the alien-like lights of the port.
The second one below was shot about 30 minutes later when there was more ambient light around. I used 7 frames @ f4 with exposures ranging from 0.5 of a second to 28 seconds. The lens was the Tokina 12-24mm @ 18mm.
