2013 is the 50th Birthday of the EH Holden, 1963 – 1965
and the EH Holden car club of WA put on a car show “birthday party” on the South Perth foreshore, it also included the earlier model EJ cars too
one of the most popular Holdens, and I am not saying that because I have one π

Pentax 17mm fisheye, 5 images stitched in Microsoft ICE
It is that time of year again at Caversham wildlife park, inside Whiteman park. The male peacocks are showing off.
as no females were around I am not sure if he was showing off for us, or trying to keep two, totally unimpressed, emus at bay.
Unfortunately I was way to close for my 300mm lens, so I snapped 6 photos, 3 across and 2 up with the though of stitching them together. Which sounded like a good idea at the time.
Using Microsoft Ice the end result wasnt too bad, even though the peacock was moving, so a little judicious editing, cut and pasting, I ended up with a 21 megapixel image.
Was it worth it.

WA Scale Model Expo, Cannington
One of the entries in this years model making competition, I decided it may look better in a photo taken in the Porongurups, rather than against the grey wall of the hall
Anyone any idea who this is?
