Photo of the day: December 2013

A sandcastle sculpture from the exhibition put on by the Onkaparinga Council at Christies Beach, South Australia. This was actually my favourite of the lot!

The 1000 Surfboard Graveyard, an incredible installation by Chris Anderson in the Royal National Park, NSW, Australia.

WOW!

That's better than the recent thing at Bondi, in my books.

An excellent capture, Reef.

Came across this red window over the weekend. I've just cropped this slightly other than that it's as seen.

Another photo from my day out in London last month.

I can feel that people here miss puffins. You don't have to suffer, here is an eyeful:

Close up of the broken window on the car I posted yesterday. I just loved the way it looked.

I'll take these over Las Vegas any day.

Starting off a new series today (a short one albeit).

The theme now is reflections. All these were long exposures taken in Long Beach, CA this past Sunday.

I see you shot this one in rush hour to. Just like the strip in Vegas!

You have to know by now that I love Puffins. I sat in the same spot and watched the guys for a couple hours. Well done themumu.

I have to say that your shots are getting better and better by the day Puckman. This one is really nice!

Hope it all goes well for you Dale. When do you expect them to be over?

Thanks for the interest.

I had my left eye done last week and the right will probably be done in two or three weeks. There have been two previous "procedures" to remove rough stuff from the surface of each eye in preparation for this, so it's been going on all Summer. My wife broke her leg in May, so actually since then. The strangest part is that now my vision is better in my left eye, but I still need to wear my glasses for my right, so it's all messed up...:roll eyes:

I've been keeping myself busy around the house building model cars and working on this '68 Mustang that I want to take to the drag strip next Summer.

I have stuff in my archive that I should dig out and post.

Thanks Cheese! I appreciate the compliment. I too feel like I've been progressing by leaps and bounds in the past few weeks.
My shots are still not where I want them to be, specially composition-wise, but I'm learning something new every day.
More to come from this Long Beach "reflections" session in the coming days. Stay tuned.

Very cool - I've never seen a Puffin doing star jumps before

All the best for the next stage. I'm sure you're looking forward to getting out and about with the camera. Let me know how you get on!

The art collector.
I shot it at the Armory Show art fair in New York. It is part of my street photography project, People of a Kind (www.peopleofakind.com), a collection of faces, looks and styles that I find interesting, for a reason or another.

It was shot with a 5dMkII

When I visited Italy I have made a life changing discovery: a sandwich with a glass of wine makes a much more fulfilling breakfast than a croissant with a cup of coffee. Especially if you don't have to go to work afterwards and can just continue on your wine tasting, I mean holiday.
