Jasper's Sunrise #1 by Dennis Gay
THE SUBJECT: / Another springtime dawn breaks over this ancient land spreading its light and warmth and burning off the mist in the valleys just as it has done for untold millennia.

Due to the possible demise of my beloved Milady Fuji, (S9600), after being swamped by a wave while shooting surfers, a very good friend has kindly lent me one of his DSLRs and a very good walkabout lens.

THE LOCATION: / Photographed on the grounds of a Port Macquarie Panthers Camera Club friend’s property at Kundabung, NSW, Australia. THE MAKING OF ‘Uho! Photographer!’: / These cute li’l frogs can be found all over the property almost all year around. / On my visits to the property my quest has gone from shooting just about every frog I see to finding them is more animated and/or interesting poses. This one certainly fits the criteria. / Canon EOS D60 & Canon 28-135 IR Lens: RAW, f/5.6 @ 1/60sec, 135mm, Auto focus, ISO200, Hand held. / Lightroom 2.2 & Photoshop CS3.

Last Stand by Dennis Gay
THE SUBJECT: / A tiny Diaea evanida (Flower Spider) sitting at the end of an Actinotus helianthus (Flannel Flower) petal in a last stand against a pesky photographer. THE LOCATION: / Photographed in the Grant’s Head Nature Reserve, Bonny Hills, NSW, Australia.. THE MAKING OF ‘Last Stand’: / With my beloved Milady Fuji, (the S9600), at the doctors I set out on a Nature safari with my old workhorse Mr Fuji, (S5500) on a glorious spring day. / I went straight to Grant’s Head, loaded myself up with tripods and headed down the rough gravel gully that acts as a track to where the Flannel Flowers grow. / They were in abundance again this year and so I went slowly from plant to plant on the hunt for spiders, bees, beetles etc until I found this li’l fella. / It was originally sitting more towards the centre of the flower but by the time I set everything up I was well and truly sprung and when I went to make the shot it walked to the end of the petal. / I thought it would disappear over the edge as they are want to do but my gutsy subject turned to face me – a last stand. / What I pleasantly discovered was that by applying the knowledge and experience I have gleaned in using the 9Mp S9600 to the 4Mp S5500 that has less bells and whistles was I could successfully squeeze images of even more quality from it than I had before. / Fuji S5500: RAW, f/3 @ 1/1000sec, ISO64, Auto focus, Tripod, Timer. / Lightroom 2.2 & Photoshop CS3.

Alone by Dennis Gay
THE SUBJECT: / The sole figure of a man strolling along the beach is made miniscule by the great forces of Nature around him. THE LOCATION: / This seascape was shot at Lake Cathie, NSW, Australia on cold, wet, stormy winter afternoon.
