Flamenco (Sturt’s Desert Pea)

Flamenco (Jan 2011)

A Flamenco dancer (or a Sturt’s Desert Pea) swirls its skirts.

My christmas present to myself was a shiny new macro lens (Tamron 90mm). Today I took it for a test drive at the Australian National Botanic Gardens and put it through its paces.  Not bad :)

Crowd and Eyeballs, Muse, Sydney (December 2010)

Another picture from the Muse concert I went to a while ago. Because who doesn’t love giant floating eyeballs?

On an unrelated note, I wanted to link to a poem that milkyminx wrote, inspired by this picture of Kilmainham Goal, called Witnessing the Fruits of Misfortune. Thanks very much MilkyMinx!

This time last week I was at a Muse concert, in Acer Arena, Sydney. Great music, great crowd, and a stunning light show – of course I couldn’t resist taking a few pictures!

View from 30,000 ft

Inspired by Charlene Winfred‘s pictures from her flight from Perth to Sydney, I made sure I had a camera handy on one of my most recent flights.  You certainly get a whole new perspective on the world when you are 30,000 ft above it.
