Sunday Morning...

Sunday morning at work was one of the best mornings I have had at work in a long time. We took the Waratah train to Springwood for some testing and we were lucky enough to have time for some photographs at various locations along the way. Thanks to D for making it a fantastic morning and thanks to Druey for popping by to say Hi and faking totos (taking photos) of our train :-)

We started out of Penrith at around 540am which allowed for some night time photos before we left. Once I got home and checked the photos on the bigger screen, what I thought looked reasonably ok on the cameras LCD screen was no where near good to say the least. So it is official, I really suck at night photography.

How am I going to fix this you ask? Well, i am just going to have to practice. I most enjoy photographing trains and thankfully I have a few locations near by where trains are stabled and I can use for practice. So over the coming weeks I hope to improve.

Once the sun rose over the horizon, my photos were significantly improved. You can see all the shots from the day on my Flickr page. My favourite shot of the morning goes to this one.

Thankfully the memory card survived but unfortunatly the camera not to good. Hitting a rock on the way down then completely submerging itself (tripod and all) for approx 5-10 secs. The things we do to get that one good shot!

Catching up

Time for a little catching up. Its been 2 weeks since I last posted and to be honest nothing really major has happened. Let me see... I am really enjoying my job and I am loving the shifts. It is mainly night work as we do the majority of the testing when the other trains have finished their runs for the night. This means I am sleeping during the day and surprisingly I am managing to obtain 7-8 hours sleep, even with my inconsiderate neighbours. On the new home front everything is moving along nicely at the moment. I shall have an update for my building blog http://www.squeakbuilds.blogspot.com this weekend. Our little puppy is growing fast and is currently in the rebellious teenager stage of his life. This is proving to be a lot of fun as he is choosing to ignore alot of the ground rules that have been set down for him. Here is a pic: In my previous post I mentioned that I am struggling on the night photography front. It had been a few weeks since I had gone out and taken s
