Our little Journey - the first bit

Brian & Alix BASHAM — 2008-06-22T00:00:00Z

]]> Hi, you are probably thinking this is weird - yep it is. BUT we are off on an 17-day adventure today and will not be back until mid-July. The red line maps our first four days, the rest is off-the-track travel, so we will be away from our computer for a while. We plan on coming back via the Oodnadatta Track (weather permitting). So we will see you all then, and hope to bore you all with our holiday snaps. Take care and stay safe - Alix and Brian

Block Arcade

]]> By Alix When out a few weeks ago on night shots we snuck into the Block Arcade, and took some pics before the security man asked us nicely to leave. That's him in the left of the image. It is much nicer than this image portrays, but I liked the lines in the roof.

Bendy Sticks

]]> By Alix These 'bendy sticks' are at Federation Square, Melbourne. They move and bend electronically to give the illusion of being blown by the wind. The blue building is the Arts Centre.

Sea of Yellow

]]> This is a Canola field in the Wimmera region of Victoria - somewhere between Halls Gap and Horsham. I was struck by the sea of yellow - Brian

St Paul's at night

Brian & Alix BASHAM — 2008-06-17T00:00:00Z

]]> By Alix St Paul's Catherderal is located at the intersection of Swanston and Flinders Streets, Melbourne. It has to be the most photographed chruch around. I took this form the steps and angled my tripod up. I photographed this chuch last year (2007) and won 1st place in our camera club with an image a little further away. UPDATE: My image of the white flower at http://acebr.shutterchance.com/photoblog/Flower_/ was placed 3rd last week at our camera club. You should have seen the judge's face when I put my hand up to claim the points. He was a little surprised to see an 11-year old there.

On the edge of the world (almost!)

]]> This image was taken on our Christmas 4WD trip. It is my father-in-law in top of a sand dune. he is not a fan of having his picture taken so I had to wait until he turned around. I just love the isolation of the image - Brian PS: I get on very well with my in-laws and we are off on a 17-day trip very soon

Melbourne at Night

Brian & Alix BASHAM — 2008-06-15T00:00:00Z

]]> Two weekends ago we went for a walk around Melbourne with some like minded friends. One of our troop, Kevin, showed me how to do this trick with the lens only. I have not adjusted the image at all after it came out of the camera. Hope you like it - Alix

Brian & Alix BASHAM — 2008-06-13T00:00:00Z

]]> This rider has just mounted the embankment and is getting ready for the next jump (just out frame) - I like the fact that I managed to get a shot with all hooves of the ground - Alix.

Werribee Show Jumping #4

Brian & Alix BASHAM — 2008-06-12T00:00:00Z

]]> Werribee Show Jumping #4 (by Brian) When I uploaded my shots I was amazed at this one. How this poor creature manages to stay upright on one leg while moving at a fast pace is amazing!

Werribee Show Jumping #3

Brian & Alix BASHAM — 2008-06-11T00:00:00Z

]]> I like how this show the intensity of the horse. Not that you can see it, but that is Werribee Mansion behind the horse. - Alix.
