Unusual sunset clouds - zoomed in


Unusual sunset clouds taken on zoom - roof in foreground in case you were wondering what it was!
This reminds me a little of the "rings" around the planet Saturn.

I need plenty of practice taking shots of these bees - they move so fast!

Lírios amarelos

Lavender!


I really never thought Lavender looked like this close up!
If you zoom in more, it looks like tinsel.

Hungry Cockatoo



Another shot of a cockatoo... I could not resist as he is so beautiful. The 3 above are the same photo, just cropped to see different zoom for a good view. The colour is as taken by the camera.

Photo to painting

As the original photo had no visual appeal, I touched it up to resemble a painting....

More Australian birds



These beautiful "Sulphur Crested Cockatoos" love the round seed pods that form on Liquid Amber trees. This was taken at the front of my house about 25m or more high up in the tree. Although they look lovely, they are very noisy birds with a very loud "SCREECH".

Aguarela sobre fotografia

Esta é a primeira experiência de uma técnica que junta um fragmento de aguarela sobre uma fotografia.
Isto permite conjugar duas artes numa curiosa simbiose.

Praia da Adraga - Vista da Falésia

Sunsets on zoom! (Through thick glass window)

I took these shots on zoom, which emphasises the hue of the heat from the sun's rays. The colours are very true to the real scene, with the top shot being taken a few minutes before the second. Notice how the red/orange hue and the cloud formation in the second are going down beyond the horizon with the sun.
