We walked around the Rocks yesterday. Lots of activity, not so much photo ops. Just posting this one. It isn't the greatest, but I liked the way it showed the vibrancy of the area. Going to the zoo today, hoping to get some good shots there!

Greg and I were able to rally after our nap and walked around Sydney Harbour. We had dinner at this little Italian place right on the water, right at sunset! Unfortunately, I couldn't remember what shutter speed I needed to use for night photography so my photos tended to be grainy...or as photographers say, they have a lot of noise! What can I say, my fault for not checking things before we left the hotel.

Loved the Sydney Opera House, such a unique shape!

While sitting in the Dubai airport I noticed this arched window. Loved the typical Arabian Architecture so I decided to take a photo...hated it! It was so boring. Then I was thinking, what is drawing my eye to the window? Realized the pattern in the wooden carvings on the interior of the window were doing it. So I experimented by cropping and changing the photo to B&W. Ended up loving this one...go figure!

Greg and I are flying to Australia tomorrow morning really early. We'll be there traveling around for about 3 weeks. I'll be taking tons of photos, however, don't expect me to post them frequently!

Tried to post these pics yesterday, but the computer wasn't working. Just some photos I took on my walk on the beach. I'm constantly trying to capture birds, but the closer I get the faster they run or fly. This little guy was cooperating because he was hungry! Added some closeups of shells. Love the shells in Oman!

I'm still trying to play with the depth of field in my photos.These photos were taken at my dear friend, Jessie's house. Jessie always has an amazing garden, even here where it gets so hot. It was pretty breezy when I was taking these photos, so not as many turned out as I had hoped. Hope you enjoy!

This week we were to experiment with the fstop, which affects the depth of field. "Smaller the fstop, the larger the depth of field". So I tried lining up these shot glasses to do my homework. Got mixed results, I liked the light and reflection, but don't feel I got the crisp focus I wanted. Possibly because the room was too dark? Just not sure. All I know is I wanted to take a shot out of each of those glasses by the time I finished!
