Fifi's Photos
Rather than cluttering up Bubba's wonderful nature thread, I thought I would start my own to satisfy various photographic whims of mine (and yours if you'd like to chime in - I love looking at other people's images).
This week I have to put in three entries for the first comp of the year at the photo club. Here are the choices I made. Opinions are welcome. Apologies if you might have seen them (or similar versions of them) before. ![]() ![]()

I can't decide. All 3 are fantastic.

Fifi, it's time for you to find a stock agency and make some money with these! Trust me- I know; I am in the business, and have bought lots of stock images over the years. It is like magic money for the photogs.

Thanks for the compliments and good wishes all.
Gi, it's funny you mention stock photo sites because yesterday I actually took the step of registering with one! It's not a high profile one, and the income isn't great, but it's better than having them sitting on my computer doing nothing I figured. When I get some time I will upload a batch and see what happens... Fifi

I received my new macro lens last week, so I thought I would test it out today on our public holiday Australia Day. Unfortunately it was a cloudy day, so the light (or lack of) was a bit of an issue. I didn't have my tripod with me, so had to do the hand-held thing. All part of the learning experience though, and I am getting a feel for how the lens behaves. It allows me to get really close, but these are not as sharp as they could be...

Today I decided that it was time I 'processed' some of my pics rather than going out taking more!
Last week I went to Centennial Park where there are lots of black swans... ![]() ![]() also bumped into some corellas feeding on grass roots ![]() Still experimenting (not very successfully) with the new macro lens. It involves a whole different technique, and is actually very hard work (especially when the temperature is more than 30C and the humidity is up in the 90s!) ![]()

![]() ![]() Something else I tried my hand at today was mounting some of my printed images on matte board. Got myself one of those fancy 45 degree angle cutters to make a nice bevel, and after a few disasters I was quite pleased with my efforts. I'm hoping to branch out into printed work this year rather than sticking to the digital medium.

Nice job Feef
How did the competition go? I think it's great that you are branching out into the printed medium too. I recently saw some spectacular photos that were printed off a regular home-office printer. The photographer is an amateur, but has started selling his pics at local touristy art galleries, and they are selling well. I have no doubt you could do the same.When I was in HI I bought a couple of photos (of local scenery) that were mounted on mats. I put them in frames when I got home, and I love having the visual reminder of all the beauty I encountered on that trip. Since you live in such a picturesque tourist town too, I suggest you go for it!

No awards in this month's comp for the Feefenator ... oh well. Since I was made treasurer of the club, I was rather reluctant to pay the judge!
![]() This weekend I printed some more pics and framed 'em. The collection is coming together quite nicely now. Messed around a bit today with the macro lens again. Definitely still learning on that one... ![]() ![]() ![]()

I found this little spider in the botanic gardens this afternoon (it was about 3 mm in length) and was asked what I was looking at by some passing tourists. The young lady who asked me nodded when she saw it and said "you have good eyes, and a lot of patience"!
![]() ![]() Then a ladybird landed on a leaf in front of me, but the light was a bit harsh... ![]() so I ducked out...
