None Of My Business

March 12, 2005

Being able to capture the humour of the situation is the fun of candid photography sometimes. This shot of an ibis standing on one leg (minding its own business by sleeping!) as the crowd of people gathered away from it was caught at Darling Harbour, Sydney, in September 2003.

U-Turn

I really must get out to take some new pictures soon 🙂 A combination of work over the weekends as well as a bout of bad flu has meant little opportunity to go out to take pictures. The above was from the visit I made to Changi Jetty in January. I like the colours of the canoeist contrasting with the deep green of the water.

Where have all the beach-goers gone?

A couple of months ago, I came across this news item on a proposed ban on photography on the famous Bondi Beach in Australia. I wonder what the outcome of the proposed ban has become. According to this article, sensible parents will not support the ban. Personally, I think the ban, if enforced, will mean a great loss to photographers as the Beach provides an abundance of good photographic opportunities. I was fortunate to be able to enjoy taking great pictures there on my visit in 2003. It’s just a pity that I didn’t have a good DSLR with me then!
