October Photo Challenge: In your town

These are a few things around the corner from where I live.

I wouldn’t call where I live a ‘town’ exactly. Its more of a city. The capital city of South Australia, although as far as capital cities go it is kind of town-like. Its one of the things I like most about Adelaide. It has everything you need without massive traffic and exorbitant costs of living. I can also drive 5 minutes up the road and hit the country of the Adelaide Hills. Ahhh, fresh air and country living. I dream of moving just that bit further out of the city to a country lifestyle while still being within easy driving distance of the city. If I just had less exotic hobbies I could move away from the cementscape altogether, but alas my tastes are just not mainstream.

The good thing about city living is the feast of interesting and varied subject matter to photograph!

A few photos from my week

In the ongoing attempt to learn how to use the DSLR I have been snapping everything! I have only had an opportunity to look at some of the photos, but I thought I would share a couple. I am finding that I am over exposing many images mainly due to not trusting the meter. Oh well, practise, practise, practise.

I have visited Waikerie in the Riverland and saw this house from a roadside lookout. I think I was supposed to be looking the other direction at the cliffs by the river, but the light wasn’t right in that direction.
Also in Waikerie we took the opportunity to take some (more) photos of the boys.
This is my favourite! Gotta love Dads.
This is a very old flamingo that lives at Adelaide Zoo. Thanks for posing flamingo.

 

 

 

Black and White Photography: It Becomes Sinister

As we were driving around Port Lincoln today we saw a house and decided to photograph it. It was interesting and I thought it would look good in black and white.

As always I loved the colours.

I am…thinking about suspense/thriller novels and movies. I know a pretty good location…
