The bush makes a nice silhouette against the black sky.

The reverse silhouette is what caught my eye. If I'd known it would turn out ok I would've taken the time to experiment a bit, and see if I could get a really great picture.

Maybe tomorrow night. I should take a tripod.

Late night dog walk. Use the Photos fade filter, and did a bit of cropping.

I like that photo but can't explain why...doesn't need a tripod, it's sharp. I thought it a black and white photo until I saw the brown colour at the base. Anyway, it has atmosphere. Was there bright moonlight?

No moon. The fence is along the back of a small shopping center, so there's a lot of lights behind me. It's the Fade filter in the Photos app that reduces the color that way. I like the effect too.

It's sharp at the reduced size I can post here. At the full size it's just a bit hazy around the edges of the tree limbs. And the building on the right is overexposed. Things that I might be able to improve on if I took the time, and a tripod.

While sweating the small stuff probably won't produce a significantly better photo this time, it is how I learn my camera, and perhaps take even better photos in the future. Besides, it's fun.

Why doesn't anyone think of installing these before it gets this cold?

Did they replace an old bus stop shelter?

Possibly because they're thinking about other things when it's +30°C in August. It seems to take weather cold enough to freeze the whatsits off a brass monkey before they think of things like this.

No, this one is at a new location. The next one they install, down the block, will replace an older bus shelter.

And Slip-n-Slide on/off ramps for the busses themselves?

I went photo hunting today, then I went a bit crazy with the filters and tweaks. Here's some of the results.

Adelaide has been hosting the first leg of the Tour de France for over a decade now, and as the caption on this photo in our morning paper says, it's on again this week with many interstate and overseas visitors flocking to the races.
And that of course has brought out all the lycra clad wannabee racing cyclists of all ages tearing up and down our streets imagining they are Stuart O'grady going for the yellow jersey.

And this little guy also wasn't going to miss out in all the ongoing excitement! All he needed was a good bicycle to join in the fun.

New snow sculpture taking shape at the local museum.

The sculpture is named Mount Snowmore and is a giant self-portrait by Team USA snow sculptors.
