The weather at the Melbourne Formula 1 this year was hot and dry, but perfect for taking photos.
The racetrack wasn't very camera friendly, however the rest of the city was. Here are the shots I took when I spent a weekend down there earlier this year...

This water dragon has been foraging around our backyard for the past few days so I decided to get the camera out and take a few snaps. Surprisingly, he wasn't afraid of the camera and let me get right up close which allowed me to focus on the detail of his scales.

Here are some more pics from the pet archive. These two were brother and sister rottweilers, Ralphie and Daisy.

Buderim Waterfall - ChrisJanuary 24th 2008 02:50
Apologies for not posting anything for five days, but I have been busy shifting furniture and painting and I haven't had the chance to get the camera out.
Here's a shot I took last year while walking through Buderim Rainforest in the Sunshine Coast hinterland. It was a great walk and there are plenty of photo op's along the way. However, as with any rainforest, it is quite dark under the canopy so clear photos sometimes aren't achievable

Here is the second edition of my Pets portfolio. Let me know what you think...

As I've been sifting through my photos I've realised how many animal shots I've taken.
The RSPCA in Brisbane has a programme where families can temporarily foster young puppies and kittens to take care of them during their first developing weeks. It takes a load off the carers at the RSPCA as baby animals require a fair amount of time and attention
Tasmania - ChrisJanuary 14th 2008 00:53
Last September I went to Hobart and we drove up through to Launceston and then back down the east coast. It was great to see the unspoilt landscapes on offer throughout the regions -- Tasmania has done well to preserve its natural surroundings.
Lucky for us there was still snow on Mt Wellington (Hobart) down to 300m. This was extremely rare for that time of year and it was amazing to see everything covered in white, even though it was nearly summer

The weather here in Brisbane has been overcast and rainy for at least the last month, bringing with it some much needed rain to our dry soil and empty dams.
I set my SLR's white balance to overcast and found it produced some really rich colours, especially greens and browns

I thought about cropping the last one down to just include the platform, but I liked the signs on the buildings in the background so I kept them in. It's so typically Melbourne!
Thanks for commenting.
