It’s taken me a while (sorry – I’ve been to busy shooting pics and post processing not to mention raising a two year old boy and working a boring day job) but anyway, what a surprise to get shortlisted for Unleashed 07 – THANK YOU!!! to all who voted for my Polar Bear picture. It is my most popular and easily my luckiest ever shot. Getting shots of polar bears at Sea World is near impossilbe without getting silhouettes of other people pressed up against the glass trying to get pictures as well. With this one, another bear was on the other side of the enclosure keeping the tourists happy. I started to walk out in frustration as I was unable to get a clear shot. As I was walking out the one in the photo eyeballed me from the top of the rocks and it just dived in directly at me. By a stroke of luck I still had my camera switched on and all set up for a low light shot and even luckier was the fact that my autofocus locked onto its head. Just one of those shots where everything came together perfectly. I think 80% credit should go to the bear though : )
I don’t know what happened to summer here in NSW but this rain is driving me nuts! Not so much the lack of photos (I wish I lived somewhere closer to waterfalls, then there would be no complaints)...but entertaining a 3 year old indoors for days on end is starting to take it’s toll on both of us…so this is for the rain gods – enough is enough! Hopefully it will end soon so the RB community won’t have to suffer looking at more shots of my ugly mug : )

It has taken me a while to get around to this but after being prompted recently by fellow bubbler shanmclean I have bitten the bullet and made a couple. I didn’t realise how easy it was – stay tuned for many more!
