A re-cap of past events
I must apologise for not updating in quite a while.
Since the last time I wrote, I went to Malaysia with my camera. Unfortunately, I didn't take many shots and those that I did weren't so great.
I was soon back into shooting for the magazine that one of my friends writes for and made the trip to Putty Road again.
There was also an interview with Ed and Irena of Oz Motorcycle Leathers that I shot for. Fabulous down to Earth people. You don't see that many good, honest people in business any more these days so it was refreshing change to meet them.
Of course, there was the usual messing around with off-camera flash and I needed a new biography photo, so it was a good excuse to turn the home living room into a makeshift studio setup with what little gear I have.
Lastly, there was the matter of shooting real estate for the first time. Essentially, all wide angle and flash. The flash stayed put on the camera, but I think if I had the time to really think things through I could have come up with something better.
As I've been so tardy in posting anything, I'll write a few comments in the gallery this time. Enjoy!

- Malaysia Trip - Brisbane
Flying over Brisbane at night during a transfer. It's one of the most boring places to transfer, especially at midnight.
-
- Malaysia Trip - Brisbane
Just one of the many, many giant shopping complexes in Kuala Lumpur. Then again, shopping is one of the main (only?) things to do over there.
-
- Malaysia Trip - KL Tower
I didn't end up going up. There are actually strobe lights that make the tower sparkle during certain hours.
-
- Malaysia Trip - Malaysian Sunset
From where I was staying, looking out to Kuala Lumpur on one of the last few days I was there.
-
- Malaysia Trip - KLCC
Yet another giant shopping complex. They do not allow photography anywhere in this building except in this area.
-
- Malaysia Trip - The Twin Towers
Had to get at least one snap of the towers. I did end up going to the sky-bridge, but perhaps because I've been before I didn't consider it very exciting.

- Putty Rd - A Grim Reminder
Flowers mark places on the Old Pacific Highway where drivers and riders have been killed. They serve a chilling warning for those of us fortunate to have not yet had their brush with death.
-
- Putty Rd - The Superduke
One of the guys from Riders Anonymous gets his bike over. I can't get over how orange his bike is.
-
- Putty Rd - Burnt Out
The gas pumps at the burnt out Half-way House have since been stripped and pillaged. I do hope that someone either rebuilds the landmark or puts up another establishment so I can at least have somewhere to eat lunch!
-
- Ed and Irena of Oz Motorcycle Leathers
I must pay these two a visit one day and check to see if I need any adjustments made to my leathers. Some of the examples in their store showed how some of the cheap eBay knock-offs provide absolutely no protection whatsoever.
-
- Flash Experiments - Puddles
Our resident kitty is often surprised by the appearance of the camera.
-
- Flash Experiments - Hungry Kitty
That's just a pillow he's attempting to gnaw on. Thankfully he doesn't do it very often.
-
- Flash Experiments - Posed
I would have loved to get a photo with my significant other and Puddles, but his attention span is short.
-
- Flash Experiments - Self portrait
I failed to gobo the flash head and so have the reflection in my glasses. Lessons learnt!
-
- Real Estate
One of the shots for the owners.
