saturday mountian biking.

[ving]

I used to race these buggers! I used to rides several times a week... now alas its once in a blue moon. my fitness has dropped considerable, but its still a bucket load of fun.
today i decided to take my camera, this mean i didnt get a chance to wear myself out as i stopped every 5 mins to take a picture of something :P
had fun tho.
I came across an ants nest (as you can tell). i only rode about a meter away but they poured out of the nest and chased me anyhow!! look angry dont they :D
I have noticed that the wattle is out (fishos will know what this means!), went down the back of some farm area, found some pretty rocks, a termites mound, and well i hope you lichen the rest (pun intended of course).

I remember those huge ants when I lived over east. Nice shots Ving :thumbsup:

[ving]

one last one... my camera does this sorta panorama thing, but you have to stitch them yourself :(

i removed the stitch lines as much as i could.
whats the best way of stitching?

Very good photography Ving. One of 'THEM' big red ants might do well in the August comp:)
I like the colour depth and I'm impressed with the close up capability of your camera.
Where did you go cycling? Wedderburn?
best,
Doug

[ving]

yeah doug, in the bush between apin road and wedderburn. the red ants would have gone well gone well in the comp hey :)

Cool pics Ving its amazing the amature photographer a new camera will bring out in us.
I am with Doug in relation to the red ants. Might be a good one in there for the theme "red"

Nice shots, Ving. I think my favourite would have to be the unfinished (or failed) observatory - it reminds me somewhat of Mt.Stromlo after the Canberra fires.

[ving]

yeah i liked that one too john. :)
thanks for the kind words folks :)
