===Sydney===
Im off to Sydney tomorrow morning for the weekend, I plan on doing quite a bit of photography [A sunrise or two, some night photography and a bit in the CBD] and a few time lapses [Around the harbour mainly, I'm interesting in getting some of the ferries in Circular Quay like on the NAB ad {which is an awesome ad by the way}] So that should be a bit of fun.

===Music===
Any suggestions for some good bands, at the moment I'm into techno, mental, punk, and am looking for some new music that isn't necessarily in those genres. I'm quite open minded to new music except for hiphop and rap

===Old Lens'===
I decided that I'd put out my old m42 mount 50mm f/1.8 and have a little fun, it's a great lens and I should really use it more as its great for macro as I also have a +2 macro filter for it

-=Huge Thanks=-
Well my subscription runs out today, I'm not disappointed but very thankful to my good friend =katon241162 who was kind enough to get me the 3 month subscription. If you aren't already watching him or haven't taken the time to look at his gallery yet I highly recommend that you do.

He's currently on holidays in Western Australia and has been uploading shots from his trip, here's a few of them:




Thanks again Malcolm

-=End of Term=-
The last week of term 3 has finally arrived! And about time too, I still have 3 assessment tasks to hand in this week along with a field trip. I'm really going to enjoy the two weeks off, because when there over I have 2 weeks of exams one of which goes towards the School Certificate

-=Time Lapse=-
Recently I've got into making time lapse videos, if your interested in taking a look here Stop Motion Time Laps Test by Nathan van Dyk.

Duke of Ed
Had another Duke of Ed walk last Saturday through to Tuesday, it was a great trip and I cant wait to do it again next year, all 70km's of it
The first two days were easy, just walking along tracks and roads. The last two days however were a lot harder, the third day I was given the compass and told to lead every one through Barrington Tops bushland for about 20km. I couldn't believe it when we came over the last hill and we were exactly where we were meant to be, I was so proud of myself I was charging blindly downhill through the bush with 17kgs on my back at some stages just to fall into some creeks, really it was so much fun The fourth and last day was along an over grown road that was covered in thick vines and all manner of other spiky plants resulting in lots of cuts. All along the trip I had branches flying into my face and mainly my eyes were being hit, luckily enough there all right and my photo taking eye is all good

There were plenty of opportunities for me to take photo's as the Barrington area is a beautiful area full of creeks, rivers, waterfalls, and many other photogenic landscapes. Although the camera and tripod added an extra 3kgs it was worth the it for the shots I got, Ill be uploading the photos over the next week.

New Gear
My filters arrived on Tuesday, I'm really happy with them and cant wait to put them to good use in a few weeks time when I'm spending a weekend with my extended at the beach.

Facebook
I decided that I'd make a Facebook fanpage for my photography, Ill be putting up all the little things that I'm doing that are to small to write a whole journal about. Like when I'm going out for shoots, and when I start to order businesses cards for myself, little things like that. If your interested here is a link [link]
