Well, here we go. Thought about the house we live in, looks OK in the viewfinder in brighter daylight. Then thought what would it look like just after sunset. We have daylight saving here so I thought just after 8pm, Eastern Daylight Saving Time might be ok.

I put the camera on the tripod, set aperture priority with the largest aperture on the lens, f4 and selected ISO 200 with auto focus and matrix metering.

I had a look at the back of the house and there wasn’t much light under the verandah roof and the yard itself looked jet black with little or no detail.

So, around the front where the street lights show a soft light and the trees cast a little shadow.

With some of the interior lights turned on here was some detail in the house and I could see vaguely some detail inside the windows.

My viewpoint was roughly mid centre ands far enough away from the house so that I could get the whole front into the frame.

The resulting exposure was 10 seconds at f4 with the lens set at 16mm.

Now all I have to do is work out how to get the image into my blog.

Well, that’s it for No 1.

Hope you like it.

It’s the 1st March and summer has officially ended and our Downunder autumn has begun.

Cooler than summer? No way, it’s only 10.27am and the temperature is already over 25 celcius and rising. A hot wind is blowing hard too so bush fires could become a problem today.

Leaves on the deciduous trees are turning yellow and beginning to fall, right on cue but luckily our eucalyptus trees remain green all year long and keep everything looking alive and fresh.

It can get quite cold here in winter, nice crisp frosts with clear days, ideal to get out on the Harley with a few mates and have a pleasing ride without getting cooked by the sun.

With a ride in mind, I’ll close now and go and polish the bike for the 100th time. After all, it is a Harley.

\Hoo roo for now.

Well, I’ve finally taken the plunge and taken to the blogosphere. Not only that, I’ve enrolled in Photography 101.

Should be a lot of fun, hope the learning curve isn’t too steep.

Well, thats all for now.

Hoo roo from Downunder.
