			<title>Sheep Says Baaaaa</title>

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.flickr.com/photos/stuckincustoms/8661513554/&quot; title=&quot;Sheep Says Baaaaa&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8258/8661513554_efbe6108a2_m.jpg&quot; width=&quot;240&quot; height=&quot;116&quot; alt=&quot;Sheep Says Baaaaa&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I know I sound like a total tourist, but I still like watching sheep. Maybe because I’ve lived here less than a year, but they are still fun for me to watch. They kind of move around like lily pads on a pond, in kind of a random way. Every now and then they line up and run to one area or another, but it’s mostly random drifting. And it’s fun for me to catch the random drifting and try to compose something interesting. As more and more sheep enter the frame, it cranks up the degree of difficulty, like Olympic diving!&lt;br /&gt;

			<title>Moeraki Boulders at Uber Sunrise</title>
			<link>http://www.flickr.com/photos/stuckincustoms/8643916595/</link>

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.flickr.com/photos/stuckincustoms/8643916595/&quot; title=&quot;Moeraki Boulders at Uber Sunrise&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8126/8643916595_b7bcaba1d7_m.jpg&quot; width=&quot;240&quot; height=&quot;175&quot; alt=&quot;Moeraki Boulders at Uber Sunrise&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;These Moeraki boulders are awesome in the morning! If you are going to visit this place, I suggest you get online and check a few things:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1) Check the tides. Make sure there will be low tide in the morning.&lt;br /&gt;
2) Check the sun position and time for the year.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you get those two things planned out, then you can go and spend the night there in Moeraki. You don’t want to go through all the trouble of getting into position if the conditions are wrong.&lt;br /&gt;

			<title>Another Bridge in Melbourne</title>
			<link>http://www.flickr.com/photos/stuckincustoms/8643905083/</link>

&lt;p&gt;I like these cities that get all fancy with their bridges. Melbourne certainly does! Each bridge tries to out-do the next. There’s no common theme and its sort of a mish-mash of styles, to say the least. I think that not everyone likes this, but I do. I don’t mind all the variety, especially from the perspective of photography.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It’s kind of the same way with the buildings and other decorative elements around downtown Melbourne. There are so many styles, most of which are one flavor of “modern” or “contemporary”. I enjoy mixing and matching different elements into compositions, but it is not easy. There is a challenging aspect to it that I don’t get in many other cities.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This is Max Patte’s latest creation. I saw them by accident while I was playing golf at The Hills here. I came over the hill to this little par 3 and I thought they were real! I was so shocked… it was a very strange reaction, actually. I’ll never forget it. It was surreal… and I love that feeling of not knowing if something is real or fantasy, and really getting lost, even if just for a moment.&lt;br /&gt;

			<title>Awesome Ship in Sydney Harbor</title>
			<link>http://www.flickr.com/photos/stuckincustoms/8643883557/</link>

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.flickr.com/photos/stuckincustoms/8643883557/&quot; title=&quot;Awesome Ship in Sydney Harbor&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8100/8643883557_b46761090f_m.jpg&quot; width=&quot;240&quot; height=&quot;160&quot; alt=&quot;Awesome Ship in Sydney Harbor&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Tom and I walked down to the Rocks one night, which is one of the oldest parts of the Sydney Harbor. I was wondering, actually, if I should spell it “harbour” now that I live down thisaway. I do like the British spellings of things… they seem so much more… well, British and sophisticated. I guess I’ll just stick with “harbor” – I don’t want people thinking I’ve turned native so quickly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anyway, the ship was moving a lot in the sea, so I had my ISO up pretty high to compensate. Usually, what I’ll do in this situation is take a normal set of brackets at a low ISO to get a nice HDR shot, and then I’ll take another at high ISO to freeze the movement… and then I do my best to Frankenstein it all together.&lt;br /&gt;

			<title>Morning Reflections of Bowen Falls</title>

&lt;p&gt;We had a great still morning in Milford Sound! I think, in retrospect, that it was very very risky taking everyone down there. The weather could have been horrible the whole time and there would be no shots! But, we got lucky and everything was beyond awesome.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We walked out onto a peninsula of rocks and the most interesting scene was kind of “straight ahead” out between the mighty peaks through the fjord into the ocean. But, there were other good angles too, like this one off to the right of this beautiful waterfall. I took well over 1,000 photos over that few days, and many of them came this morning!&lt;br /&gt;

    <media:title>Morning Reflections of Bowen Falls</media:title>
    <media:description type="html">&lt;p&gt;We had a great still morning in Milford Sound! I think, in retrospect, that it was very very risky taking everyone down there. The weather could have been horrible the whole time and there would be no shots! But, we got lucky and everything was beyond awesome.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We walked out onto a peninsula of rocks and the most interesting scene was kind of “straight ahead” out between the mighty peaks through the fjord into the ocean. But, there were other good angles too, like this one off to the right of this beautiful waterfall. I took well over 1,000 photos over that few days, and many of them came this morning!&lt;br /&gt;

			<title>A Weaving Path Through the Wetlands</title>

&lt;p&gt;I’ve revisited this path in Glenorchy a few times now. You’ll see this in the new New Zealand video that is available now, by the way. I took a ton of different photos while there, but this one did not look so great in color. It was curious to me because there was something about the photo that I liked… but it looked so dull in color. And then I realized it was the shape and the contrast that was most interesting! So I decided to emphasize that with the black and white treatment using Silver Efex Pro.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I’m sure Europeans find this kind of architecture to be quaint and banal, but I rather like it. In fact, I’d say it’s just about one of my favorites! Whenever I see old buildings in this style, it makes me a little bit happy.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This one was in the village of Mont Saint Michel. It was one of very few hotels that are tightly woven into the old medieval walled complex. I didn’t go inside, but it felt like it was right out of Skyrim!&lt;br /&gt;

			<title>Trees in Yosemite</title>

&lt;p&gt;I’m not really an “expert” on Yosemite by any means! I’ve only been there once, and I know there are many photographers that have been there 5 or 10 or more times! I spent most of my time driving around the main roads and going off on little mini-hikes. But I didn’t really know the best places to go… so I would hike along little creeks and get shots like this.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I remember I did a little walk to a place called “Mirror Lake” or something. It sounded so awesome from the name! But then I got there, and it was just a puddle of ice. I felt ripped off! They should change the name of it every hour depending on what it currently looks like. There’s no way I would have walked to “Dirty Ice Ugly Lake.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;p&gt;We walked around The Hills one morning, and we came to this place after the sun was beyond its “sunrise” phase. The sky was the peaceful morning infinite blue and the water was still as ice. There were many good angles to shoot across this peaceful scene, and most of us chose this view! :)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It was cool to do this and be with so many other nice photographers that were taking similar shots. I liked seeing their versions as well.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anyway, if you end up getting the video series mentioned at the blog, you’ll get to see me edit this photo from beginning to end! :)&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This is where I ended my walk with Luke that night in New York City. It was sort of a lazy, meandering walk… going here and going there. But my hotel was right by this park. I lament that I never got a shot inside the awesome library, but the tripod police were out in full force. I actually felt like I was in more danger there than in the middle of this New York City park in the middle of the night!&lt;br /&gt;

			<title>The Milky Way over the Burning Bush</title>

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.flickr.com/photos/stuckincustoms/8576212754/&quot; title=&quot;The Milky Way over the Burning Bush&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8515/8576212754_23ac1bd0af_m.jpg&quot; width=&quot;187&quot; height=&quot;240&quot; alt=&quot;The Milky Way over the Burning Bush&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I took this photo in Death Valley one evening. The bush is red and mysterious because of a bit or light-painting with my headlamp. My neck got a bit tired from multiple tries. That glow around it? I don’t really know… maybe a bit of the dust from the desert caught the red light. Either way, I like how everything looks all funky and zen.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.flickr.com/photos/stuckincustoms/8559689609/&quot; title=&quot;Across the Little Lake at Sunset&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8101/8559689609_70b3fd1b29_m.jpg&quot; width=&quot;240&quot; height=&quot;128&quot; alt=&quot;Across the Little Lake at Sunset&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Here’s a little tip for shooting and getting those sun rays that burst out like that. So, you may have heard that you can set your f-stop as high as it can go… say, f/22 or something. But, you actually don’t have to go quite that high. The bad part about maxing it out is that you’ll see all the dust on your sensor and all the little bits on your lens. That takes a long time in post to clean up. Instead, try around f/16 or f/14… you can still get that nice effect without all the junk getting in the way! :)&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This room is closed to photography for some reason! Actually, it’s totally closed to all human traffic. I’m not sure if this was a one-time thing, but I got the feeling it was because the ropes and whatnot that told me not to go in here seemed like they had been there for a while. You know the feeling. Perhaps they only open it for the rare events…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But I went through the silly ropes and took a photo anyway. The security guard came to get me, but he was pretty nice about it. I just told him that the ropes confused me and I figured they must surely be a mistake.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The Queen Mary ghost-tour is a must! It’s a great way to see the whole ship while having a cool story wrapped around it. Even better, you can set up for photos and bring a tripod! Some of these places are soooo dark and creepy that there is no way to get a good photo without a tripod.The old pool still had sort of a blueish glow that fought against the orange glow from the lights above. Both together were quite surreal!&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I was very happy to experiment with the fisheye lens while I was in Paris. I borrowed Tom’s, and that pushed me over the edge to buying one for myself. Prior to this, I had rented one, but never really liked it very much. I think maybe because I took a lot of people photos, and they were just tooooo artsy and weird for me (which is saying a lot), but I really found using the fisheye on architecture and things like this to be a lot of fun!&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Here’s another view of the ruins at sunrise. I was down on the island for about two weeks, and it was very nice to have a guaranteed nice sunrise every morning! The skies were never dull… always clouds and drama. I don’t know if it is like that 365 mornings a year, but it definitely was in the middle of the summer!&lt;br /&gt;

			<title>Brushing a Miniature Horse</title>

&lt;p&gt;We took another trip out to Kerry &amp;amp; Simon Brackstone’s farm in Gibbston with the kids. My two girls, Isabella and Scarlett, love that miniature horse! They spent a very long time brushing it… apparently this is something that all little girls enjoy doing. We always hold this out as a carrot for them if they are being good, and they they can hold out a carrot for the miniature horse, and it will be a neverending circle of carrot-based incentives. &lt;br /&gt;

			<title>Slow Motion Sunset on the Color-Thickened Lake</title>

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.flickr.com/photos/stuckincustoms/8507532085/&quot; title=&quot;Slow Motion Sunset on the Color-Thickened Lake&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8227/8507532085_ee0275804e_m.jpg&quot; width=&quot;240&quot; height=&quot;140&quot; alt=&quot;Slow Motion Sunset on the Color-Thickened Lake&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The sunsets in the summer here last about 2-3 hours. Once you get around 45 degrees latitude and beyond, the sun does not sink right into the horizon. Instead, it slides sideways into the horizon like A-Rod stealing second in slow motion. This means the colors change very very slowly, and sunset is a nice, long relaxed photography session rather than a high-pressure one. &lt;br /&gt;
