Early start this morning, I checked the weather report yesterday and it looked good.
I set off at 5:30 to take a few pictures at Currumbin rocks.
thinking I may be alone, ha, there were lots of other photographers, keep fitters, surfers.

I was very pleased with the first couple I have edited, but cleaning all the dust and hairs made me realise how long its been since I cleaned the camera.
so tonight I had to give it a good clean. I will know how good a job I did tommorrow when I try it out.
 but for now here are a couple I have edited.

Going through some older images I have taken I came across these, this was from a photoshoot in 2010, a slight edit to clean up the backgrounds and I was quite pleased with the look.


I then started to get a bit creative when I saw the next one, it was a bit of fun at the end of the shoot when we tried, 3 men jumping in unison, 2 were unusable but this one struck home, some major editing and a cape and buildings were needed.........

After this I found a portrait which leant itself to being modified as a boxer training in a home based gym, for this read GARAGE,  what do you think? is the blue or sepia toning the best?

Comicon, or Supernova visited the Gold coast recently.
I was there before the parade to catch some of the Fans dressed in their favourite character costumes.
lots of people had gone to a lot of trouble getting everything just right.
 here are a few images of the morning.









Even Christopher Lloyd made an appearance, he was Doc in back to the future series.

Seafire 2015 At Surfers paradise
A great night of fireworks to round off the week of activities in surfers paradise.
here is my favourite shot of the night

I also tried a few different techniques at this fireworks display, normally I set the camera, ISO 100, F16 and Bulb, then just press and hold for a few bursts.
 this time I tried zooming whilst doing this, it gave some interesting results, a few failures but the ones which worked were special.
 here are a couple.


And the kids loved it, from the colours and lights, they were tired by the time it all ended.
