This house in Emu Plains goes nuts with the christmas lights throughout December. I would have liked to photograph some more houses but felt a bit weird pulling out the big camera in peoples frontyards if there wasn’t a crowd around. Getting some decent shots without a tripod was a little tricky but I was surprised at how well the ISO1600 images turned out from the Pentax KX.

Well this makes up for not taking a decent photo last week. I’ve been here before on my bike but it looks much more interesting at night. It’s a 13 second exposure which makes the fans look like a perfect white circle. The other shot is looking back at Newcastle Harbour.

I went out with Ross & Noor to have a go at shooting the full moon on Saturday night. There was a bit of cloud around so we waited for some clear sky. I was pretty happy with the results.

It was a bit of a trek to get out to the lookout. Not remembering how far it was, we walked for what seemed like 500m and then finally we arrived at the clearing. The moon was slowly rising above us, but it was touch and go to see if we were going to graced by the presence of the moon, lingering behind the thick cloud cover.

Alas, the clouds dissipated briefly and provided us with a good couple of hours from about 8.30 till 10.30 at night to take a few shots and play with the camera’s before the rain promptly ended our night.

These are my 4 pic Best of photo’s – Ross

Hope you Enjoy!
