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 […]

Sunshine Coast 12/2/21

We had a lovely dinner with Tania and her husband Cam last night. The foods at the Captain’s Daughter was pretty reasonable for the fact the restaurant is in the heart of Peregian. I even had a pink pirate cocktail. This morning Stu went for a run while I caught up on the news. After […]

Peregian 11 Feb 2021

What a crazy 12 months it has been – we haven’t been able to leave Australia since March 2020 and while we were in Bali for Christmas 2019 it all seems so long ago. I also feel very disconnected from the blog because no overseas holidays means no blogging. So 2021 means Australia based holidays. […]

Bali Day 6 Christmas Eve

We have absolutely nothing planned today so it’s a rest day, and a rest with Stu you know means a walking day of sorts lol. Stu went for a run this morning and then we headed to a shack where they make proper coffee. The coffee was really good nice and strong, not burnt. The […]
