Yesterday we took a trip on a boat to the outer Great Barrier Reef off Cairns, to witness a rare and awesome event. I wish I knew more what I was doing with the capture as well as editing; many of my total eclipse photos have a ghosting effect. But here is one of my better shots, of the diamond ring.

On Sunday we celebrated my birthday with vegan yum cha at Vegie Hut (YUM), beer and pretzel at White Rabbit brewery (also yum), a drive up Black Spur and a walk through the forest of Yarra Ranges National Park. This park forms part of the protected water catchments and lies the southern tip of the Great Dividing Range (which is ‘great’ because it runs from the top to the bottom of eastern Australia). Amongst the tall trees, at the top of the ridge we managed to get a glimpse of a view out east. With the distance and my fuzzy zoom lens it looked a bit like a painting.

There were around seven galahs having a feast on the front lawn when I arrived at work today. What a treat!

An early morning car trip up to the snow. Had to pull over to get a shot of the full moon that was chasing us.

Outtakes from my Venus transit shots. With the sky so black, the sun looks like the moon!

The sun setting over the hills of Busan on my last day there. There were fantastic views from Busan Tower.

Last weekend, our team went up north to the Sunshine Coast for the outrigger canoeing national marathon titles. We had two races, didn’t place, but we had a ball. The weather was beautiful, with a strong sun, flat water and clear blue skies. Far cry from the post-cyclonic conditions and swell we had the last time we attended.
I’ve grabbed the tip of a fellow beachside photographer and taken an image of the mens’ fourth place-getter as a silhouette in black and white. Let me know if you think that was a good move.
