Trying to be one with nature

One of my goals this year is to do more creative things outside of work. I recently went to the Berwick Botanical Gardens and Healesville Sanctuary and took some snaps of flowers and animals. Healesville hasn't changed that much since I was a kid, and majority of the animals kind of sleep all day which is kind of lame. At least when its ferocious lions and majestic elephants its kind of cool to be in their presence...but kangaroos and koalas not so much...

Macro Lens

Hi all, it's been a while but I've got some news:

x DESIGN 9-5 JOB PLEASE

YEAH! I'd give a proper update on my job but my brain has sort of deflated from exhaustion. Perhaps when I get used to the lifestyle I'll give a rundown of what I do.

The reason I actually wanted to update my blog is cause when I was in Hong Kong, I got a new macro lens :). I'm not really that great at photography, but it's definitely something I want to pursue and get better at. I've also started my random doodles again so I might update that onto here too.

The thing I love about this lens is how close you can get up to things. Animals are generally the hardest things to take, so seeing their fin/fur/feathers up close is pretty awesome. And when I mean animals...I mean fish haha, I don't have any pets to take photos of ...

Here's some photos from St Kilda Beach. Was tricky getting the lighting right.

St Kilda

Went to St Kilda for a day trip with my family over the holidays and took this shot.

It wasn't that dark when I took it, but the sunset was so beautiful. I don't remember the last time I saw the sun so red. Even people who were jogging around stopped for a second and watched the sunset. Ah, nature.

Here's how the light really was. SLR pictures sure can be decieving lol
