• Red Bubble Sydney Meet (Warning Ducks shot in the making of this Journal)

  Well the turn out was a little disappointing but for the first Sydney meet but the trains, and that it was the first meet we still had a good showing and enjoyed a great day in the city with like minded folk. In attendance was Macro Britti, Bodymechanic, Miloman, Ozcloggie and the every charming MBartworks (that stands for MB Artworks, not Bartworks…incase like me you were confused). Well I decided for the first time to opperate the D200 in Black and White mode only (I shot RAW+Jpeg so I could always get at the colour if I wanted too). I really liked Hien’s photos of the melbourne meet, so decided to try my hand at Black and White, and mix up the ISO to introduce what I hoped was some complimentary noise. So here are my top 20 shots from the day, no PP except resizing for the web. #1 The Rubber Duckie made famous by Ozcloggie (this duck seems to go everywhere. / #2 Macro Britti sitting on the Town Hall Steps / #3 Ozcloggie sizing up his Rubber Duckie on Town Hall Steps / #4 The Gang loose out on the streets (L-R, Marco, Miloman, MBartworks, Bodymechanic hiding behind MBartworks and finally Ozcloggie) / #5 Interesting sculpture / #6 The Park was a great place to relax / #7 This Varigated Plant was begging for it’s own photo. / #8 A Holy Fence / #9 The Walkers (L-R ,Bodymechanic, MBartworks, Marco) #10 Tree Texture / #11 Ever happy to Model, Rubber Duckie poses for Ozcloggie / #12 Marco wishes he bought a sketch pad as the cameras come out over lunch. / #13 MBartworks and Marco review images on Marco’s phone / #14 Bodymechanic caught mid conversation with Miloman / #15 Miloman poses for the camera, hands on chins seemed a popular pose. #16 Ozcloggie enjoying lunch and a social chat. / #17 Duckie again the centre of attention. / / / #18 Duckie being waited on / #19 The Duck is amused at it’s own reflection. / #20 The Gang walk off into the distance… figuratively /

• More ducklings!
  by Mui-Ling Teh

  Remember the ducklings I saw yesterday morning? (see here) Yesterday I wanted to take more pictures during lunch, but when I went back to the pool I could find them and thought somehow they made their way “home”. This morning on my way to work I saw them again! That means they really are living in the concert hall courtyard! Guess they were hiding during lunch yesterday. They were more upclose yesterday, but atleast this time I could get them all together (though they were moving so fast these pictrures got blurry). I came back during lunch, and found them gathered at the back (the little blobs in the shadow behind the planter) They walk around, but wait!... Aww, this one was left behind, and was trying so hard to jump out! It was so funny to watch it step back (I mean paddle back :P) and bulding some momentum, swimming quickly towards the corner. Eventually it made the jump. These little creatures are young, but they can swim fast! (I didn’t recharge the camera last night, and the battery was running out. Apologies for the poor quality) The photos above where from the underground path that looks into the courtyard. Later I decided to go outside and look over the courtyard: And now I know where they live, someone must have provided that plank for them! Overview of the courtyard: paddle paddle, quack quack I gave a few comments today, but now I’m really tired; didn’t sleep well last night. I’ll try to catch up later…

  Began with the sale I was notifed about at 12:30am :P Then went to bed. On my to work I got off at St. Andrews station, walked through the underground path which passes the Roy Thompson concert hall courtyard. The courtyard has this pool, and today look what I found there: This pool is very shallow; about 15cm deep perhaps. A few times this year I’ve seen ducks swimming in this pool, which was unusal enough, but baby duckings?! I wonder how they can get home, they would have to walk quite a distance away and cross some roads in order to reach the closest “natural” body of water! Luckily I had the camera on me; though I got it out pretty late; earlier they were more bunched up together. I arrive at work, got onto RB and replied to some comments. I check the status of my entry in the New Challenge. Initially, right after they starting taking votes, my work was ranked in the 50s, and in a few hours rose to the 20s. However the day after it dropped to the 130s! (I almost died…). It remained around there for a few days, but today it suddenly improved and now it is in the 60s. I’d feel safer if the challenge just closed now so I could keep it there; big drops can happen in a few hours :P Finally a new feature! Love Birds which I just uploaded last night, got featured in the Stillness Speaks group! I didn’t foresee that the moderator was going for a bird theme today; looks like I uploaded the right thing at the right time!

  Duck has been spotted in the Sutherland Shire! Apparently he was interested in joining an art class. On his way to the coffee machine, he noticed some Shire residents. He introduced me to his new friends.

  If you’re looking for some fun or a catalyst for your creative juices, why not try your hand at the various challenges on the site: Self-portrait Rubber duck Spin Journey Shadow Bicycle, Fire + Honesty There’s also a very active thread on Where is everyone from? that’s well worth checking out and adding to (if you haven’t already). Thanks to Dennis Klau and others for organising these sometimes wacky but always fun activities. Got an idea for a challenge of your own? Just go for it! Add it in the forums and maybe announce it with a journal entry.

• More fowl language with the Canon 40D

  Part 2 … the part that comes after the first part in my ongoing review of the Canon 40D. What a big journey the last four days has been. I unpacked my Canon 40D on Friday and by Monday I had seen ducks mating … joined a protest rally … rescued starfish on a beach … met Santa on the side of a road … become a horse whisperer and joined a flock of Pelicans!. How wonderful my world is with the Canon 40D. Every day I feel a sense of excitement and wonder at all that is around me. It is as if my eyes have been opened and I am seeing everything for the first time. After initially taking 960+ photos of ducks, then finding another duck pond and taking a few hundred more, I have decided that I am over the duck phase in my life. It was fleeting .. it was frenzied …but its over and you can rest assured that I won’t be loading thousands of photos of ducks on to my RB account. (SFX: Collective sigh of relief) However my new obsession is the Pelican – nature’s own stand up comedian ! (SFX: Canned laughter) I am so in love with the Pelican that I have even joined a fan club and begun to sing a favourite rhyme … (Fade in theme music …) A wonderful bird is the pelican, / His bill can hold more than his belican. / He can take in his beak / Enough food for a week; / But I’m damned if I know how the helican. author unknown Here are just a few of my Pelican shots, unpolished, straight from the camera using a 17-85mm lens. If you don’t like these, don’t worry, I have hundreds more LOL. / I have now read past the first “tick the boxes” page in the 40D manual. The technical stuff is still all gobbledygook but the sample pictures are nice :-D Darren was right, it is a steep learning curve … but I’ll get there. / Cheers Sooz
