ThNks Mate, their is just a wealth of nature and opportunity at the squeezed out duck pondup the road, I just hope it doesn’t get further damaged when the houses are built around it.

nice Dave,
cheers Tannin,

I did a city walk around with a photography group today, and we had to ask someone if we could take their photo, and find out why they were in the city today! Post in colour & black & white to choose the best. As you can imagine this is a stretch of my comfort zone!!
Challenge photo!
This lovely gentleman, John Lloyd Fillingham, not only allowed me to take His photo, He posed and gave me advice! I had run across to Digidirect to buy a 50mm prime lens, and decided, ugh, I have to move this is hard. John gave me advice, said shoot me wide open, and i loved all the results!! Part of the challenge was to find out why they were in the city today. John is on good terms with his ex, and he stayed at her place last night, So he was grabbing a coffee and waiting for his work to arrive. His work turns out to be Zoom movies he pieces together. So i thought that was cool. He is from the North of England, im from the South so we had a great chat!!! He followed me on Instagram so i could follow back. I just had a look. Turns out John is a producer! My brilliant career! We shook hands and wished each other well, And now I am in awe!!!

there were 15-20 of us milling around looking for a victim, its no stretch to say i really lucked it in!!!

hes done a bit of local theatre, blood vessel, oil, my brilliant career, and he was a theatre actor in England!!

Great photo, good to see the chicks getting into the spirit of running but seriously, what is with those Groomsmen outfits?

Moleskins, RM Williams boots, braces and bowties?

Country boys?

That must be Ballarat Farmer Chic, any real country boy would kick his own arse if dressed like that.

Hehe, probably! The grooms family own a winery!

Considering RM Williams boots are around $600 a pair, it must be a good winery.

Button wines! It’s not bad, they gave me some!

I used to love my RM Williams,s riding boots, and my drizabone, and my Akubra! Still have the hat at least! Snagged the jacket when we were riding down a mountain playing man from snowy river! Ok it was a hill at riddles creek! Just sowed it up with some real thick coated cotton! I think that’s still here somewhere!
