At this years royal show there was a heritage section, and part of it was a group of blacksmiths.
It brought back some memories of metalwork at school and seeing how many of the old tools I could remember
taken using my old manual 50mm f1.7 lens

WASMEX 2013
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?

I went for a ride last weekend to see what was in flower in the local bushland
I think I counted 20 different flowering plants
more than I expected for mid Winter
I took the opportunity to try out a different lighting set up

Australia day bike race
My first attempt at bike racing photography
the Australia day Perth Criterion
Using my old manual f1.4 50mm Pentax lens on the K10D, set up to use focus trap,
so I can keep the shutter pressed, but the camera won’t shoot until it has focus
(hopefully on the subject)
Butterfly wing macro
a macro of a butterfly wing
I wish I could find out what kind it is
I took this using my 50mm lens and holding it reversed against a 2x converter, with no glass in it, that was mounted on my Pentax K10D. Using daylight coming through a window.
to improve it i should buy a reversing ring instead of holding the lens to the camera
and a flash may be better than daylight
seeing as the butterfly was deceased, I can have another go 🙂
