I love that area, when I am in Brisbane I take my mum and dad to the hogs breath cafe across from the pier, I love how you just managed to sneak in a few branches from a moreton bay fig on the far left. :)

Great Photos Sam.

Just out of interest, how do you get the soft effect on the child? I would love to be able too replicate that effect. Cheers

Overit, the quokka shots are so gorgeous.

More in a similar vein if you have them would be great.

ThingyMajiggy: I've just looked again at your previously posted photos. They are just so softly beautiful, almost mystical. More if we may, please.

Here is an albino Death Adder of mine, the picture was taken less than 24 hours before she gave birth.

And here is one of her babies shortly after being born, before leaving its membrane.

I like the vineyard shot, looks like you need to clean your sensor as there's dust specs in the images.

I'm not into HDR pics like your other ones, too cartoonish and unrealistic.

good pick up on the dust!

I agree on HDR. HDR can look extremely artificial. But sometimes when there isn't the perfect light, and you dont have enough time, HDR can help - if you use it right. All my photos in the last few posts are HDR - i needed to use HDR so i can have multiple exposures - I basically use it as a substitute for grad ND filters.

They dont always have to look cartoonish.

Unfortunately it was a disgusting day when i photographed Big Ben and Windsor castle.
