Hey, looks like I'm first again this month.

This photo was taken on December 10 last year in The Entrance. The camera was the Oly C5060WZ. It has been cropped, shadows and highlights, resized and saved for the web in PSCS3.

I will go out hunting colours, but as bright colours don't seem to be a common local phenomena I thought I'd post this on unless I can take something better.;) I just don't think dull colours will cut it in a competition of this sort:shrug::P. ...but I could be wrong!:lol:

Keeping on the floral theme, I took this photo of a flower on my passionfruit vine last year. Used Panasonic FZ5 on macro setting, no enhancement necessary.

I liked the soft pastal red of this unusual Orchid I found at a flower show. Taken on Saturday. Pentax K100D 45mm F5.6 1/45sec ISO800 with flash.

Normally my landscape pics are well, uninspiring.
Taken last new moon (coincidence? I think not) in August at Gunderman on the Hawksberry, this was a real Kodak moment. Sipping some fine Bourbon on the deck, a glance westward revealed this sunset unfolding that had me running for the camera. The result is exactly how it came out of the camera.

The other pic I thought I'd throw in 'cause that’s the lady I'm marrying Saturday week

Cheers

This is one of my favorite shots of the Sun. Taken the evening after the Venus transit in Western Australia. Ricoh KR5-II, USSR manufacture Tair-3S lens (300 mm), 3x tele-converter. I can't remember what f-stop I used, but I have a feeling I had it closed right up... f22, so 3 stops further than that? Film was probably Fuji 400.

I had only 2 frames left after the transit, and I hoped to catch the green flash. I took this shot from the hills outside of Coral Bay, and already you could see some green appearing on the upper limb of the Sun. As the Sun set, the green grew more pronounced and started spread along the limb to the water line until it completely lined the remainder of the sun. As it disappeared beneath the horizon the lining expanded until what was left of the Sun was vivid green, I snapped my last shot... I had been adjusting the exposure to match the disappearing light and when I pressed the shutter release, the camera was on bulb:sad:

Blew it to the proverbial.

Hi

Running out of time and short on ideas, I spotted these colourful paper clips in our stationery drawer and scattered them on top of my flat field box to provide some even illumination.

Exposure of ½ sec at F32 at ISO 200. Taken on 21st September 2007.
White balance set to Tungsten.

Cheers

I have too many to choose. Here's one with some colour though i might change it yet.

[Sharnbrook]

Never did find who I was looking for!

This (I assumed) was a building directory in Seoul, taken in May 2005.

It's either that, or Korean dominoes :)

Parents are sometimes cruel - we thought it was cute at the time!
My son will probably disagree in years to come.

Natures colour, doubly so, with some rays for good measure. Sometimes you just can't get a lens wide enough.

About every colour imagineable seen at Canberra's Floriade in 2003. Scanned panoramic photo taken with my Contax T ix APS camera.

An extract from www.floriadeaustralia.com (http://www.floriadeaustralia.com) said:

Floriade burst into celestial bloom in 2003 with the theme “The Heavens in Bloom”. The event was a living tribute to the vast depths of space encircling the earth. More than 1 million blooms opened in an amazing representation of our earth, planets and Milky Way.

I can't recall which planet my photo represented but most likely Saturn or Jupiter.
