Still Life

Well, it's been another warm day here. My scrapbooking stuff arrived earlier than expected, too, so I'm looking forward to having a play with my new toys over the next few days. ;)

Bird on a birdbath at the cemetery:

I happened to turn around at just the right moment to catch this little bird on a birdbath last time I was off at the Toowong Cemetery. I just love the way the little bird looks - almost like he's part of the bird bath itself - and the juxtaposition of this obvious and vibrant life in a cemetery.

Photo was taken with the camera's sepia setting and, bar a resize to keep the file reasonable, is completely unedited.

Lorikeet In Watercolour

Sorry for the missing post yesterday, my mum went in for an angiogram and things were a little crazy. She's out and doing well now, but not allowed to do anything strenuous for about 48 hours.

Watercolour Lorikeet outside McDonalds:

Completely unedited, I took this one on a cloudy day. I remember I was angling the camera up and trying not to stand in gardens or get too close and frighten the lorikeets away, so I couldn't really see what I was doing/getting, but all of my shots came out over exposed like this, looking almost like a watercolour painting rather than a photograph.

Mine!

Another Friday has come along!

Seagull pair at Brisbane's Southbank:

I'm not generally a fan of birds, and seagulls aren't exactly the prettiest ones there are, but I caught this pair of seagulls by chance, using my old Kodak DX6440, zoomed in and presumably on general settings.
