Photo Hunt – Cloud(s)

2 August, 200825 February, 2012 Anne S

This week’s theme is “Cloud(s)” and instead of hanging outside in all weathers trying to find some decent cloud shots, I’ve decided to choose a photo that wasn’t actually of the clouds, but a lighthouse, but where the sky and clouds really appealed to me when I uploaded it. I’ve cropped the clouds out on their own … then followed with the original shot.

Also, here’s a shot looking back from the other side of the lighthouse.

This is the lighthouse from Lighthouse Beach, Port Macquarie, NSW Australia.

And to finish, here’s a shot of the city’s night lights reflecting off the clouds of Hong Kong harbour – we got very used to seeing those clouds, in fact I don’t remember a blue sky at all during our visit!

This week’s theme is “Hanging” and even though I’ve used the bats before, I thought they were a good choice for this week’s theme as well.

Photo Hunt – What IS that?

This week’s theme is “What IS that?” and quite frankly I’m stumped with what to use … rather than not post anything at all, however, I’ll show you this photo …

As for what it is? It’s called a Dragonfruit … to be honest I personally think it tastes bland and very very uninteresting – I’ll try most things once if they intrigue me, but this will definitely stay on the “once” list! Unless of course anyone can give me tips on how to eat it – we ate it raw as it is … ho-hum …

This week’s theme is “Support” and hopefully these choices suit the theme well enough … The first photo is from the Botanical Gardens at Cranbourne, VIC Australia – and the 2nd photo is from the University of Western Australia, Perth.

This week’s theme is “Pointed” and I’ve chosen a 5-pointed starfish – it would also work really well with a theme of “camouflage!” 🙂

Photo Hunt – Bright

This week’s theme is “Bright” and I’ve chosen a photo of bright orange carp at the Chinese Friendship Garden, Darling Harbour, Sydney. It was difficult to get a good photo because the sun was glaring in the wrong direction, plus they were swimming along moving all the time! But they are definitely “bright” orange!

And a bright coloured birdhouse at the Enchanted Maze Gardens, VIC Australia.

This week’s theme is “Water” and I’ve some shots from Flynn’s Beach, Port Macquarie last week. I first chose the first shot capturing the spray off the rocks in mid-flight … then decided to chuck in a couple more ‘for the sake of it’ 😉

Photo Hunt – Bad Hair

This week’s theme is “Bad Hair” and I thought of these photos straightaway! This is the haircut that my best male friend had when I moved to Melbourne 4 1/2 years ago (crikey, have I been in Aussie that long already??!) … talk about a “Bad Hair day”!!!

Eventually I managed to talk him into getting his mop of curls chopped off, and his best friend offered to get out the shears immediately and start shearing away! The whole situation amused me no end, so I just had to capture the moment on film … and here are a couple of shots from the day’s process …

And just who IS this handsome young fella at the end of it all??!!! We all had to admit he looked 10 times better with his new haircut … and to this day he’s kept it short … of course, he will no longer be talking to me after sharing his photos on this blog!!! 😛

Photo Hunt – Self (yourself or part of you)

This week’s theme is “Self (yourself or part of you) and I don’t have any recent photos of me personally, so I took one of my ‘wounded’ hand. See if you can pick which one of these pudgy fingers I tried to lop off with the meat cleaver a few weeks ago … ! I trimmed the nail back today as I’ve started catching it on things, and the nail is still a bit ‘sensitive’ for want of a better word. I was very very lucky, that’s for sure!!
