This is the 26m Telescope, built in 1965 by NASA, and originally installed near Canberra.  When it became surplus to NASAs requirements, it was donated to UTAS and moved here in 1985/86.  If you ever get a chance to go have a look at it, you should.  Even if you don’t understand what anything is, it is very cool.

I looked straight down from where I stood against the fence, and it is really a very deep hole.  There were markings on the ground leading to a manhole shaft so I guess they are going to be adding some drainage.  Will be interesting to watch.

After I turned to leave I noticed something very cool.  Someone had come along and inserted a heap of plastic cups into the fence, and spelt out the words “I FEEL EMPTY”.

This was the first time Lucas, our three year old, had seen the snow.  He really loved it. This is is first ever snowman, who he was very very sad to have to leave behind when we left…

This is another snowman I found, he was actually pretty tall, and was standing just off the side of the road near the observation deck.

Just a quick post today, of the grass seeds blowing around in the wind on the side of the road.

Love the natural vignette in this shot.

I took this shot this afternoon around the back of Brighton, the sun hitting the dry hill juxtaposed nicely with the dark storm clouds forming overhead .

But now the work really starts, so much to organise!  Which is probably why you are searching the internet for a wedding photographer, right?  Well once you have checked out the site, get in touch and book an Engagement Shoot.

Why?  Well here are three great reasons to get engagement photography…

We get photos of our babies, family portraits, school pictures, weddings and other significant stages of our lives, and your engagement is another one of these landmarks.  It is a time in your life you will look back on with fondness, and beautiful photos will help keep that memory alive forever.

Engagement photos are useful!  Use the photos on your save-the-date or wedding invitation, buy cleanskin bottles of wines and use the photo for custom labels to give to special wedding guests, or hang a beautiful large print at the ceremony.

Think of engagement photography like test driving a car.  It’s a great way for us all to get to know each other, and learn how we work, before the big day.  We can sort out the style of photography you like, and figure out what you don’t like, before the wedding day, without the pressure of time and location constraints.

So there you have it, three reasons why you should book an engagement photography shoot.

Actually, lets make that four reasons.  If you book your wedding photography with Nigel Honey Photos, you will get $150 off the price of your wedding package!

If you own or run a business, you know that two of the most important things are your loyal customers and great staff. You want to keep them happy, and know that they are appreciated. Happy customers are returning customers, who will keep spending with you, and happy staff are loyal staff who will do a better job and always go that extra mile for you.

But how do you do it?  How do you say “thankyou” to your staff and customers, without breaking the bank?  If you are looking for a great way to reward your loyal customers and employees get in touch with Nigel Honey Photos to see how we can help.

We spent some time looking around Domain House and its surrounding buildings, as well as the brand new Menzies Centre building and the Royal Hobart Hospital.

After this we headed down to Tranmere for a little swim. The water was very very cold, Naomi did very well given the conditions…!

One of the cool things is that the effect is applied when you take the photo (you select a film, lens and flash gel type before you shoot) and therefore the photo is what it is, the effects are not an afterthought or tweaked to look “right”, you have to actually think about what look you want before you take the picture, and know what combination of lens, film and flash to put on the camera to get the look.

Just like in the olden days.

It is (almost) all the fun and unpredictability of shooting with a Holga, without the high cost of medium format film. Yeah yeah I know its not the same, but for messing about its fun. I just wish I had an iPhone 3GS, as my iPhone 3G does not have the ability to focus. Never mind, new one in a few months…

As Chase Jarvis says, “the best camera is the one you have on you” so I may just blog a few more iPhone photos in the future, since it is after all always in my pocket, a place my 5D MkII just wont fit…
