We had a really big storm here this afternoon and I managed to capture a lightening bolt….. in IR….I told you I never take off the filter…lol This is looking out my backdoor. I had a 10sec exposure and an aperture of 5.0 – it’s a little dark…but the sky was actually really dark too so there wasn’t much light around and I know the composition is not brilliant…. but I’m still really pleased with it.

These are the tallest sea cliffs in the southern hemisphere, at 200m high. Taken today (20th January 08) whilst on a cruise around the Tasman Peninsula on the way to Tasman Island. If you want to see the REAL Tasmania I can’t recommend enough experiencing this part of the coastline. Whilst I took this image I was being buffeted by 50knot winds. All part of the experience!

Predator evolution
Studies going as far back as that of Goethe in the early 1700s have understood that pale green – the colour of new plant growth – is the most psychologically positive and restful colour… So I wonder what the authorities were trying to do to the already fragile minds of patients locked in shocking pink, electric green, and custard yellow cells? The more I look at my shots, the more clues to inherent barbarity I begin see in the treatment of vunerable people.
Another image from my ‘green room’ series, shot at ABM. This time I elected to concentrate on light and composition instead of colour. It would have been so easy to crank up the red on the ‘Ladder Safety’ poster… but I like the darker B&W mood here rather more. At full magnification it is still possible to read every word of the ‘Ode to Roger’ pinned on the noticeboard.
A back lane I stumbled upon in Maitland. I definitely think I’ll be revisiting it!

A pirate that didn’t like getting his picture taken. This image was shot on a domestic colour 35mm film and scanned using the Nikon Super Coolscan 4000 ED. It was taken before a group of costumed party goers left for a cruise on a boat called The Looking Good about 12 years ago. The trip set sail from North Warf in Melbourne but I think it’s called Docklands now. Did he want my money or my life ?
To me this looks like something dangerous hiding in the shadows, waiting to leap out and attack. Bleh, I know what I mean but I can’t think how to word it :( Anyway, I’m happy with the shot :) — Taken with: Canon 40D / Lens used: 2.8 100mm / Shutter speed: 1/40 / F number: 2.8 / ISO: 800
Again 2 of my images have been removed by RB. / But you can still see them on my weblog. Click for my image GLOBAL WARMING Click for my image SWEET AND SACRED Seemingly certain parts of my femininity are considered dangerous, disturbing, offending, ugly, threatening, scary or dirty. I have never noticed that before May this year, when I joined RB. Before that time I only posted my images on Dutch websites and never encountered any problems whatsoever. Censorship is new to me, since I crossed the borders of our little country digitally, and joined this international website. It feels unnatural but most of all hypocritical to me. I already described my opinion about censorship in the caption added to my image “A decent girl” that I posted a while ago when another image was deleted. So I will not go there again. You can find it here if you are interested. Click for A DECENT GIRL I have never exposed what is called my “most private parts” on this or any website because – old fashioned as I am – I like to keep that for that one very special person. I’m still being censored so there must be something about my images that I’m really GOOD at! So tell me… I have reasons to believe that this censoring has something to do with a person or more persons complaining about me and reporting certain images. Complaining is fine, but please have enough guts to do it personally to me and I will be happy to talk with you, on this public website or by bmail or email. Now I have only questions. What will happen next? Censor yellow persons? Report pink flowers because you think they should be purple? Complain about homosexuality? Someones shoes you don’t like? My nailpolish? His moustache? Her glasses? Your… whatever? Burning books? / I appreciate and value the freedom of expression that we have over here even more then I already did! Amen. Awen.”
