Popping by to say Hi!

Hi All!!!!
 
Ive dropped off the blogging planet over the past couple of weeks because life has been so
HECTIC.....
 
In fact my life is travelling by in a blur at the moment.
 
 
Its all good stuff though & I will have
LOTS
to tell in the coming weeks when it all comes together.
 
 
 
I promise to blow your mind if you watch this space........
 
 
I recently did a photography course in Sydney.
 
 
It was Click Walk & Learn Tour of The Rocks area of Sydney
with
 
 
I now have a full understanding of my camera & I can capably use it in MANUAL mode , which was my goal for the day.
 
 
This is my first ever completely manual photo, but definitely not my last.
 
 
It was a fantastic course in a beautiful location & Christine teaches in such a way that everything seems so simple. I would rate it as the best $89 Ive spent in a long time.
 
I highly recommend it!!!
 
Now I just have to make the time to keep learning & practice, practice, practice.
 
Thanks for popping by, I love to know you have been for a visit so please don't forget to leave a comment, even if it is just to say Hi!
 
CHEERS

Sydney Stop over

We took a mini break this weekend & stayed a couple of nights in Sydney
 
 
We visited Sydney Tower so we could show the kids the view


 
We stayed at Darling Harbour, my son was obsessed with the military ships at the Maritime Museum


 
 

 
I got to enjoy some early morning photography

 
I love the mix of old & new when it comes to the cities architecture

 
Ah the Harbour bridge, its always a thrill to drive across it, one day I would love to do the bridge climb!!!

 


 
The Sea Life Aquarium was fantastic & a real high lite for the kids


 
I probably should have used a lens hood for this pic to eliminate the glare from the sun.
 
We really had a great time & I look forward to going back again soon, there is so much to see & do in Sydney not to mention all the fabulous restaurants you have to choose from.
 
Good Times ahead I would say!!!!
 
What great stuff did you get up to this weekend?
 
CHEERS
