This house is on the corner of my street and won first prize for best Christmas light show in my area.

This is yet another view of the outside of St Mary’s Cathedral, Sydney. I had been tinkering with different effects for this image all of which were somewhat garish until LenFirewood borrowed it and made the colours more subtle and added some texture. This is the final outcome and I love it. Thanks Len for your help.

Ungoliant

Malice — Tue, 16 Dec 2008 09:50:05 +0000

This beasty huntsman was found in the back yard of my Dad’s place. A macro lens with a teleconverter can make it look like you’re really close, trust me I wasn’t.

Nine days to Christmas

Feral ferris wheel

Malice — Sun, 14 Dec 2008 12:56:50 +0000

Luna Park, Sydney. I remember Luna Park as a child, it was the place to go and the rides were just brilliant, now having revisited it, very very tame. I still have wonderful memories of my first visit though.

Into the cave

Yet another view of Natural Arch, this time the waterfall dropping into the cave mouth.

Reality is an illusion created by a lack of dreamtime

I saw this interesting individual whilst at Circular Quay, I thought he had the most amazing face and such sad eyes.

Contemplation

Malice — Fri, 12 Dec 2008 10:19:43 +0000

As I was strolling through Hyde Park, I saw this guy quietly having a smoke whilst feeding the pigeons. This is my first attempt at black and white photography and people shots, I have added the slightest hint of sepia tint.

St Mary’s Cathedral

Malice — Thu, 11 Dec 2008 12:11:05 +0000

I love churches / cathedrals, I spent a considerable amount of time in this cathedral, so peaceful and wonderful.

Bridge walk

Malice — Thu, 11 Dec 2008 11:43:41 +0000

I just got back from a visit to Sydney to catch up with family and even though I lived there for quite a number of years, I never took a photo of the Harbour Bridge, until now…. I was at the Opera House when I took this with a 400mm zoom lens.

Round and round

Op-art 2

Malice — Sun, 07 Dec 2008 21:57:02 +0000

My newest eye destroying op-art piece …….. and how I did it !!

Op art 1

Malice — Sun, 07 Dec 2008 07:58:55 +0000

I’ve been messing around with geometric patterns in photoshop to create an op-art image from the 70’s era. Took about 40+ layers to get this, thank heavens for the grid. I think it looks cool though and kind of hypnotic. I will try to create a few more of these if my eyes can handle it

……….and black and white version

Bandit

Malice — Sat, 06 Dec 2008 20:42:34 +0000

This is one of Kelly’s daughters, Bandit, the hose you see her with she turned into a sprinkler. The way she is lying with her back legs out is exactly like her dad. She has gone to her new family now, I miss her terribly she is so sweet and full of fun.
