road trip day 3 – bundaberg

We are staying 2 nights at the Moore Park Beach Motel so we could get a day to explore the Bundaberg region. Moore Park Beach is a really quaint little seaside village which is really spread out. You feel like there are only a few people around you. The motel is the old style roadside […]

road trip day 2 kingaroy to moore park beach

As usual Stu and I were up early this morning and took Eric for a walk around Kingaroy. The Motel Oasis is comfortable but a little claustrophobic especially for a puppy like Eric. We are driving further north today but going via Mundubbera and Gayndah to stretch the day out. We drove along some back […]

Road Trip day 1 bne to kingaroy

Today we started a 3 day road trip up to Yeppoon. While Yeppoon is only about 8 hours north we decided to take it slowly today. We stopped for morning tea at the Fernvale bakery – which has a beautiful old truck out the back. Then we headed to Toogoolawah where Stu’s dad keeps threatening […]

A wALK IN THE CITY

We went for a walk with Stu’s parents today. After yesterday’s 36C todays temperature was pretty moderate with a nice breeze although it was very warm in the sun. I took the opportunity to take the camera out with us. As we had the dogs I didn’t play around with the manual settings and used […]

LONG WEEKEND IN BRISBANE

I went to see Shang-Chi yesterday and took advantage of the fact I was seeing the movie at Southbank. I played around with the settings on the camera again some of the images of the city came out a little dark. The last few (the CityCat and the sculpture) were using the telephoto lens. I […]

Birthday dinner and sunday MORNING walk

Last night we went to dinner with Alison and Dennis at Caffe Primavera to celebrate Dennis’s birthday. We had a very lovely night – great company and great food. Alison had picked here as the restaurant is dog friendly so Eric came along with us. I tried playing with my camera settings – unfortunately the […]

Family trip to the Goldy

We decided to go down to the Gold Coast this morning to visit Molly and have some breakfast. Normally when we go anywhere near the beach I pack Eric’s spare harness and his lead we use in the water and of course towels, boardies and more towels – you can never have too many towels […]

SUNDAY ROAD TRIP

We have been stuck in the house lately as Stu has been trying to shake a virus. Today we decided to go for a bit of a road trip. We drove up to Redcliffe Markets and had a bite to eat – Eric had a wash at a hydrobath that was at the market. He […]

Practicing Manual Settings

Last week I had my class on how to use the manual settings on the camera. Work has been quite busy so my plan to take my camera to work and go out at lunchtime didn’t quite come to fruition. Stu is still not well enough to go for a walk so I thought I […]

Introduction to Photography Lessons

COVID has made travel very interesting. Travelling overseas is not on the books for most Australians and even interstate travel can be very difficult unless you get your timing right. To try to get ready for when state and international borders get reopened I thought I would buy an entry level DSLR or mirrorless camera […]
