Panoramic: Looking South over Barrenjoey Lighthouse  (large image)

In a final hurrah before my beloved 20D went in for a clean (after over a year of putting up with dust) I headed up to Palm Beach in the afternoon last Sunday after seeing the (relatively) brand new Bond movie (and might I say it's good to see that they've taken him back to his roots, stripped back the gadgets, and given the movie a plot that involves characters) and coming out to a beautiful display of clouds.

Barrenjoey Lighthouse

Just to disappoint me, by the time I had hiked up to Barrenjoey Lighthouse, the thick pea-soup clouds had rolled across behind me blocking the potential for a phenomenal shot looking back over Pittwater with a firey sky. Instead, I had to "put up" with this.

Oh, and the upside of the cleaning of the sensor, apparently my 20D needed hardware upgrade, done for nix with a 6 month warranty at Canon headquarters near Macquarie Uni. They took the camera apart, did the upgrades and undertook a thorough clean, all for the sumly price of zip. Next one will be $50 though.

Anyhow, Tropfest is on tomorrow and I'm hoping I don't get saturated like last year.

Clouds on the Horizon Threaten a Boat at Sea

I went down to Long Reef on Sunday to shoot one of Hannah's friend, Bec Twist's, families down amongst the dunes. Originally we were concerned about the weather, but that turned out not to be a problem, except for the thick blanket of cloud.

I don't yet have any of the photos that will be printed for the Twists, however I've put up some of the landscape shots I took while down there, including a couple of panoramics.

Finally, if you would be kind enough to vote for me in the JPG Mag for either of these photos:
