Another from my experimentation with high ISO. / Canon 400D 100mm 2.8 – FL 100 F Stop 2.8 Exp1/3200 Manual / ISO 1600 / It’s another grainy image-because of the high ISO but I love the extra vibrance that it provides. /

BEST VIEWING LARGER I had great fun wandering this magical area , the home to hundreds of bird species that have made home to this oasis, add to that the wonderful sunsets over the Murray and to get one like this you do feel Blessed ! “Wonga” is Wiradjuri for Black Cormorant, still one of the most abundant bird species in this area. The Wonga Wetlands was named to give recognition to the local flora and fauna, and the important relationship the Aboriginal people had with this environment. *Restoring Natural Flow * / / A unique environmental development has taken shape downstream from Albury, along the floodplain of the Murray River – the Wonga Wetlands. The water that is bringing new life to this beautiful country is not directly from the river – it’s from the AlburyCity’s wastewater treatment systems. During the warmer months the reclaimed treated wastewater is used for irrigation, while in wetter months it is redirected to the wetlands, helping to restore the natural flow regime. Since the construction of the Hume Dam in 1919, the Murray River has been regulated for irrigation and does not flood as often. When flooding occurs, it is now often in the late Spring or Summer and is of a lower intensity. This alteration to the natural flow has dried out many of the floodplain wetlands and billabongs, destroying the bird and fish breeding habitat. The Wonga Wetlands development is an opportunity to revert to the original hydrological regime, with birds and other wildlife now returning to the wetlands For more information on Wonga Wetlands“ / / Equipment: Nikon D300, Sigma 10-20mm lens, Manfrotto Tripod, Luck / Technique:HDR, 5 Braketted Exposures, Photomatix Pro, Tidy up in Capture NX / !http://images-0.redbubble.net/img/art/framecolor:cherry/framestyle:flat30/mattecolor:black/product:framed-print/size:large/view:preview/3172422-4-billabong-wonga-wetlands-albury-the-hdr-experience.jpg / !

MUCH BETTER VIEWING EXPERIENCE VIEWED LARGER Yes me hanging over that bannister again ! and yes I am infatuated with this staircase, but it has so many different angles to view it Thanks for dropping in your viewings,comments and if i’m lucky FAVOURITES are greatly appreciated. The Queen Victoria Building is currently undergoing a facelift at $37.5 / million , one of the features is upgrading the paintwork to victorian period colours. This image shows “The Grand Staircase* of Sydneys Grand Queen Victoria Building, and is an example of how grand old buildings can be restored ans still be used as money making concerns, in this case a grand shopping experience The Queen Victoria Building, now affectionately known as the QVB, was designed by George McRae and completed in 1898, replacing the original Sydney markets on the site. Built as a monument to the long reigning monarch, construction took place in dire times, as Sydney was in a severe recession. The elaborate Romanesque architecture was specially planned for the grand building so the Government could employ many out-of-work craftsmen – stonemasons, plasterers, and stained window artists – in a worthwhile project. Originally, a concert hall, coffee shops, offices, showrooms, warehouses and a wide variety of tradespeople, such as tailors, mercers, hairdressers and florists, were accommodated. The QVB fills an entire city block bound by George, Market, York and Druitt Streets. The dominant feature is the mighty centre dome, consisting of an inner glass dome and an exterior copper- sheathed dome. Glorious stained glass windows and splendid / architecture endure throughout the building and an original 19th century staircase sits alongside the dome. Every detail has been faithfully restored, including arches, pillars, balustrades and the intricate tiled floors thus maintaining the integrity of the building. / The visual message of Sydney’s coat of arms, on the cartwheel stained glass window, is that the beehive depicts business, the sailing ship – trade, and the dolphins – the harbour. Panel 1, on the left hand side, represents the Council of the City of Sydney, and symbols of architecture, while the letters I.G.B. on panel 3, on the right, represent Ipoh Gardens Berhad, the Malaysian company who restored the QVB. The symbols are of property developers – the builders. The bottom central panel represents the heraldic symbol of a finished building and the joining of two hands denotes the fusing of two cultures. There are many interesting and charming exhibitions and attractions throughout the building, along with portraits of the Queen. There is also a letter from Queen Elizabeth II to the Citizens of Sydney to be opened and read by the Lord Mayor of Sydney in the year 2085.

Many a Hymn (B&W) - The Garrison Church c.1843, The Rocks Sydney- The HDR Experience
by Philip Johnson“I lay this foundation and cornerstone of the church to be built in this place, to be named the church of the Holy Trinity….: The speaker was the first Bishop of Australia William Grant Broughton, on a blustery Tuesday morning, 23rd June 1840.” The builder was Edward Flood and accepted price for materials is interesting to scan, Bricks were 2/15 a thousand. A labourer worked 10 hours for 5/- a week while the bricklayer for the same period received 8/6. Henry Ginn, the architect of the basic structure, estimated that the church would house 250 adults and 50 children and in his original design his calculations were not far wrong. Bishop Broughton decided to appoint Rev. John Couch Grylls as Rector of the new parish, and on August 7th 1843 services began. On September 10th 1843, the first baptism was performed, while the first marriage took place on October 23rd of that same year. Although officially named the church of the Holy Trinity, it has from its foundation, been more popularly known as The Garrison Church, simply because of the numerous regiments at the nearby Garrison worshipped there. On can envisage the colourful; black on grey, white on navy blue, red on white with gold trimming…… Equipment: Nikon D300, Sigma 10-20mm, handheld / Technique: HDR , 5 Bracketted Exposures, Photomatix, whith a tidy in Capture NX and B&W Conversion http://images-3.redbubble.net/img/art/framecolor:black/framestyle:flat30/mattecolor:off%20white/product:framed-print/size:large/view:preview/3451043-2-untitled.jpg

Maritime Memories - Australian National Maritime Museum - Sydney - The HDR Experience
by Philip JohnsonBEST VIEWED LARGER This shot was taken after dark at Sydney’s Darling Harbour, near the Australian National Maritime Museum. A still night was generous with reflections. The Australian National Maritime Museum is housed in a sleek white building on Darling Harbour. The museum shares the history of Australia and the sea. Here you will find antique racing yachts, WWII destroyers, jet-powered boats, and Australia II – the 12-meter yacht that won the America’s Cup in 1983. The museum displays permanent and temporary exhibits, many of which have interactive components. Some of the exhibit themes include the Navy exhibit, First Australians exhibit and the Leisure gallery.There are guided tours both inside the museum and on the ships moored in the bay. Highlight gallery tours are free, check times of this and other tours and booking requirements at the ticket desk The museum being on the left, Cape Bowling Green lighthouse Cape Bowling Green lighthouse was built 70 km south of Townsville in 1874, when the colony of Queensland was booming with gold rushes and sugar production. The increased coastal traffic associated with the boom resulted in shipping accidents on the sand shoals around Cape Bowling Green and the need for a lighthouse to assist safe navigation. The magnificent replica of Captain James Cook’s famous ship of discovery, HMB Endeavour, returned to Sydney in April 2005 having completed 11 years of world voyaging under the HM Bark Endeavour Foundation. The vessel was then transferred to the Australian Government and then to the Australian National Maritime Museum, where the ship is displayed as one of the nation’s foremost historical exhibits.

“The Bhakti path winds in a delicate way. On this path there is no asking and no not asking. The Ego simply disappears the moment you touch him. The joy of looking for him is so immense that you just dive in, and coast around like a fish in the water. If anyone needs a head, the lover leaps up to offer his.” ~ poetry by Kabir Copyright © Sharon Mau 2009 / My images do not belong to the public domain. Reproduction is strictly prohibited.

BEST VIEWED LARGER SOLD to a wonderful person from the UK that bought a Medium Framed Print of “CRADLE MOUNTAIN – MONOCHROME Cradle Mountain forms the northern end of the wild Cradle Mt – Lake St Clair National Park, itself a part of the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area. The jagged contours of Cradle Mountain epitomise the feel of a wild landscape, while ancient rainforest and alpine heathlands, buttongrass and stands of colourful deciduous beech provide a range of environments to explore. Icy streams cascading out of rugged mountains, stands of ancient pines mirrored in the still waters of glacial lakes and a wealth of wildlife ensure there is always something to captivate you. The area is one of the most popular natural areas in Tasmania. A visit will reveal why. Cradle is the starting point for the world-famous Overland Track, a magnificent 6 day walk that will take you through the heart of some of the finest mountain terrain. The Cradle Mountain – Lake St Clair National Park shares a “Twin Parks” agreement with the World Heritage listed Jiuzhaigou Nature Reserve in the People’s Republic of China . For many, a highlight of their trip to the northern end of the Cradle Mountain—Lake St Clair National Park is the view across Dove Lake to Cradle Mountain, one of Tasmania’s natural highlights. The mountain itself is a jagged, dolerite peak which dominates the area. Its name, supposedly, is derived from the mountain’s resemblance to a miner’s cradle. This dramatic vista can be seen either on foot as you walk along the shores of the Lake, or from the carpark at Dove Lake. Visitors should bear in mind, however, that the wild weather of the Tasmanian highlands often shrouds the mountain in cloud. There are a number of excellent walks in the area, including the Dove Lake Loop Track which takes you through the stunning Ballroom Forest, an area of cool temperate rainforest nestled against the slopes of the mountain. Other walks include the Weindorfers Forest walk. Of course, the area also marks the start of the famous

BEST VIEWED LARGER You know i once attended a lecture by a well known Australian Photographer called Ken Duncan: one of the things he talked about was thinking outside the frame. When sometimes you have tunnel vision when you picture a image in your eye and don’t observe opportunities that come along. This is one occasion, i was focussed on catching that sunset, and was frustrated when a boat came into the wharf, and blocked my view , but then i noticed the boat was towing a dinghy. And the dinghy kept drifting out adding some wonderful foreground perspective to that sunset. So think outside the box pays off !

BEST VIEWED LARGER Thank you for your views, comments and favouritings / Right Spot – CHECK / No Boats – CHECK / Enough Cloud – CHECK / That Consistency to the Water – CHECK / Lights in varying colours – Check / Reflections on Water – Check / Run for the D300 and the tripod – DEFINITELY Caught a range of shots on this Friday morning reached my vantage point about 5.30am. I saw these reflections and ran for the camera. Sydney Harbour like a mill pond before the many vessels start their morning trips and disturbing it’s surface. The other factor is that look to the water surface that landscape photographers might know it’s like a oily look to the water that lends itself to wonderful reflective surface. It took many shots of Sydney Harbour this morning, if, and you should have seen the sunrise that followed . WAIT ! yes i have photos of that as well.

BEST VIEWED LARGER My neighbourhood, my sunrise, my inspiration. / Newport Beach I awoke looked out the window to see a glint of colour. Will i get out of bed , or roll over and go back to sleep ? Guess what decision won? Newport Beach is one of the many beaches, north of the city within a short drive. Everyone goes to Bondi that is crowded. Why not head north to pristine beaches, no crowds, and watch the sun rise and set. A good seafood meal, some chilled chardonnay or a beer. Sorry northern hemisphere bubblers it’s officially Summer downunder, so we have to put up with mornings like this for the next few months. Yes I know it’s hard but somebody has to do it !
