Long weekend surprise, so should I say sunrise. :)

With Canberra halfway through a long weekend, and the balloon festival starting yesterday what better excuse than you get up early, and get some sunrise shots.

Sunrise shots can be relatively tricky, due to the contrast of the sun and the general surroundings. I took this photo below and a few others but I really liked the glare from the sun, striking across the lens. This effect can be generated in Photoshop, but from my perspective so much nicer to get in camera.

The shot was created using three individual exposures, which were merged in Photoshop to allow the foreground and the middle ground to be exposed. Without doing this they were completely black as a sun was overpowering anything else in creating silhouettes of the mountains.

Show me some of your landscape shots?

Colour Run Canberra 2015

What a wonderful event the colour run is… Boy oh boy I just love it.

I popped along again this year to capture the events of the day and once again it didn’t let me down.

The runners and the people running the show was just having the best time in their lives and it was great to be part of it…  So of the action was the bubbles at the end and the kids just sliding in the colour…  I also manage to get a photo of another photographer doing his thang….  😉

Wow what a first week back!

As we come to the end of the week, and what was really my first week back in the swing, I must say it was a fantastic week.

If I look back over the week I see that I made a lot of new friends, I looks some great photos of a great cause, I got out and about in the sun shine (maybe somewhat more than I should have as I got sun burned), I got some exercise, rode a good few km on my motorbike with friends and got to see a wonderful sunset as I walked around the lake yesterday.

All in all a great first week.

What amazing things filled your week?

What a day in the convoy

The weather was fantastic, the bikes were great, the trucks where huge and the music was LOUD!!!!

Well done to everyone that put on such a great event.  The crowds lined the road as we road down and around the streets of Canberra, and I even go to do some work. 🙂
