EH Holden 50th Birthday

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 πŸ™‚

Peacock with tail open

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?
Saber from Fate/stay night?

50th anniversary of the EH Holden car

It is Kings Parks 50th year of the wildflower festival, it also the 50th anniversary of the EH Holden car
so with the help of the EH club in WA Kings park combined the 2 anniversaries by turning 2 old EHs into…………

flower pots, sigh

(my wife suggested I do it with my EH, she was joking, i think, hope)

I managed to get a photo showing the character of one of the cars without having to many of the flowers, trying to give it the abandoned in the bush look.
I tried to be different from most others that were taking shots with the flowers too
this is the rear of one of the cars

three photos stitched with microsoft ice
