  • This is another shot that I took on the 5th of May as part of the 24 hours of flickr. It is the shot of Australias own (or better my own, since it is in my backyard) Hills Hoist that was prominently featured at the 200 Olympics Opening Ceremony. / And now I have to learn that it was not even an Australian Invention: Taken from Wikipedia: / “The Hills Hoist is an Australian version of the rotary clothes line, the distinguishing feature of which is a crown and pinion winding mechanism invented by Adelaide based Lance Hill in 1945. This allows this clothesline to be lowered and raised. The rotary clothes line itself had been invented as early as 1855, diagrams of which were published in Scientific American that year. This style of clothes line was popularised in Australia by Lance Hill and is a common sight in Australian and New Zealand backyards. It is considered one of Australia’s most recognisable icons, and is used frequently by artists as a metaphor for suburbia in Australia. For many post-war baby boomers it is a symbol of their childhood and an Australian national icon. / It is widely (and incorrectly) believed by the public to be an Australian invention.However, other Australian and American precursors existed decades before it was produced in 1945 in the Adelaide suburb of Glenunga by Lance Hill.” Please also visit my website alexkess.com and my photoblog .

  • Here is another shot that I took as part of the 24hrs of flckr. Looking straight down between my House and the fence. It is a bit of an attempt to turn something ordinary into something extraordinary and to give this mundane subject its 15 minutes of fame. Please also visit my website alexkess.com and my photoblog . Cheers and Thanks, Alex

  • I went down to the Como Pleasure Grounds the other day. It’s funny how you can live almost right next to a place, and not realize how beautifull it is… This shot was taken under a beaurifull tree looking out towards the Train Bridge and the Marina. It is a 5xp HDR, pushing the limits a bit, but I think it gives the tree a real 3dimensional feel. Please also visit my website alexkess.com and my photoblog . Cheers, Alex

  • I took this photo a few years ago on my little Canon A60 Powershot only 2. mega pixels, But thought it was not a bad shot & decided to post it. I think the pic looks better viewed in large mode.:-) London Midland and Scottish Railway (LMS) Princess Coronation Class 6233 Duchess of Sutherland is a preserved steam locomotive. 6233 was outshopped in July 1938 from Crewe Works and was part of the third batch of her class. These were unstreamlined, painted in LMS standard crimson lake livery and had a single chimney and no smoke deflectors and an estimated cost of £13,800 each. Service. 6233 was initially allocated to Camden, London. She acquired a double chimney in March 1941 and because of drifting smoke acquired smoke deflectors in September 1945 before being painted in postwar LMS black livery in September 1946. With the creation of British Railways on 1st January 1948 she was allocated to Crewe North depot. She was given her BR number 46233 in October 1948 and repainted in BR Brunswick green livery in 1952 or early 1953. In June 1958 she was allocated to Carlisle Upperby before eventually being withdrawn from Edge Hill depot in February 1964. Preservation. Following her withdrawal from service she was acquired by Butlins Heads-of-Ayr holiday camp, Scotland in October 1964. Later moved to Bressingham Steam Museum she was subsequently acquired by The Princess Royal Class Locomotive Trust and restored to working order at the Midland Railway Butterley. To allow her to run on the mainline in preservation she has been fitted with Train Protection & Warning System (TPWS) and on-train monitoring recorder (OTMR) equipment, alongside the BR fitted Automatic Warning System (AWS). Royal Train. On 11 June 2002, the restored Duchess was the first steam locomotive to haul the Royal Train for 35 years, transporting Queen Elizabeth II on a tour to North Wales, from Holyhead to Llandudno Junction, as part of her Golden Jubilee. The trip also marked the 160th anniversary of the first Royal train in 1842. On 22nd March 2005 the Duchess again hauled the Royal Train, the second time for a steam locomotive in 40 years, transporting The Prince of Wales from Settle to Carlisle over the Settle-Carlisle Railway. The trip marked the 25th anniversary of the formation of the ‘Friends of the Settle and Carlisle’ pressure group. On the trip, the Prince spent a 15 minute spell behind the controls of 6233.

  • Lifeguards – South Cronulla Beach, Sydney, Australia. After a long day keeping the beach safe, these lifeguards take a well earned break. This image grabbed me as I was walking along to do the Esplanade walk in South Cronulla. Lifegaurds are such an iconic part of Australian life and the sight of this lot having a break, some catching a few zzz’s in the afternoon light, some having a laugh and a few still keeping an eye on the surf, meant I had to take a shot. The HDR part came about as I took the shot quickly and only had a single Jpeg. Given the light and textured concrete and wall, I wanted to capture all that and so decided to see how sucessful HDR would be from a single Jpeg. Nikon D90, Nikkor VR 18-55mm f3.5-5.6 @ f6.3, 32mm, 1/160 sec, ISO 200, hand held, HDR’d in Photomatix from a single Jpeg exposed 5x at 1 EV intervals, iPhoto.

  • Como Marina and Bridge just after sunset – Como, Sydney, Australia. The interesting thing about this photo is that I was experimenting with delaying the time between each of the bracketed shots to capture the a train going each way on the bridge and I think this may have added to the vivid electric blue colour. The first shot was taken about 15 mins after sunset and the other two bracketed shots were taken 5 and 10 mins later respectively. You can see this a little in the fact that the boat on the right is a bit fuzzy. Very little post processing was done on this shot other than the obvious HDR process in Photomatix. Other that that it was just a minor crop to get rid of something I couldn’t see in the low light in the forground in iphoto and thats it. Nikon D90, Sigma 10-20mm @ 10mm, f10, HDR’ed in Photomatix with 3 exposures, mtr, -2 & +2, at 20, 6 & 30 seconds, iphoto, Slik 614CF tripod, Nikon ML-L3 remote.

  • A perfect late summer’s evening in the north of Scotland.

  • These are the mountains of Assynt in Sutherland, Scotland, (Stac Pollaidh on the right and Ben More Coigach on the left) It is a landscape that has barely altered since the icesheets retreated 11,000 years ago. This area to me is a wonderland, a magical, ancient kingdom and sparkling expanse of wilderness perfection, with seemingly countless twinkling lochans, white sandy beaches, and sparse, bizarre, isolated mountain peaks rearing up like sentinels from a barren land. This to me is real Scotland (forget your Nessie, Loch Lomond, Fort WIlliam etc), Scotland starts at Torridon for me :)
