Now don’t get too excited as I am not talking about that London Bridge! The one I am referring to used to exist along The Great Ocean Road one that was built by 3000 diggers. It is is a great scenic drive and I traveled its full 273km length on my way to Melbourne. So far I have found that this picturesque stretch of the South Eastern coast of Australia was really quite stunning. This is a picture of that famous bridge before its collapse and is one of the important reason we should all take photos, to record historical landmarks as well as moments of history etc.
This is another shot showing it in all it’s former glory, and since its demise it is no longer called London Bridge as it is now referred to as London Arch.
This photo shows that you do not always have to get close to your subject, which is really pretty good as there are times when all you have is a point and shoot camera and that telephoto is just nowhere to be found.
I reckon that a silhouette of the koala and the tree itself is actually more powerful than if I was to show the subject in more detail. I don’t actually recall where the photo was taken other than it was some National Park on kangaroo Island.

This is a shot of the Silverband Falls located in The Grampians Victoria, just south of Halls Gap. This particular waterfall is quite unique in that the water disappears into the ground and reappears further down. As you can see the photo was taken with a slow shutter speed to give the water a flowing effect. Unfortunately there wasn’t enough light to use a fast shutter speed to ‘freeze’ the water flow, maybe next time.
This photo was taken many years ago, before digital cameras existed even, with my trusty Minolta Dynax 7000i. I came across it whilst going through my old slides, something that amazed my kids who never saw a real slide show. They were actually expecting a Powerpoint presentation.
Naturally I had to digitize it and this is where my Canon MP810 came in real handy as it scanned the image with great accuracy and then exported it to the PC.
The photo itself just goes to show that photographic opportunities exist almost everywhere, you just have to open your mind to see them.
I have seen many versions of close-ups of a human eye, but normally they are of an older person. I decided to take on of Luca, my five year old nephew. There was no problem getting him to pose for it, in fact I couldn’t get him to stop
When looking at this photo you can almost see the innocence in this young face. one wonders what he will aspire to or even what dreams that he will have. It surprises me that there are people in this world that strive to take the innocence away from the young of this world, and I am not only talking about child molesters.
I wish to include in this category of stealer’s of innocence those people who try to introduce them to things that they are way too young to comprehend. Do they really need to be exposed to their sexuality at such a young age? Who should decide what and when they should learn these things, their parents or the establishment? I say let them enjoy their sweet innocence while they may as it will be taken away from them all too soon.
