Solar Eclipse 1999 – Source
I’ll be flying thousands of kilometres and spending hundreds of dollars to shoot five cameras at an event that lasts just two minutes and has about a 50% chance of being completely clouded out!
No pressure XD
In this post I’m going to talk briefly about what I’m planning to do with the different cameras I’m taking, and tell you how you can all (hopefully) watch the eclipse live with me!

I’m still trying to catch up on the backlog of P365 photos. My apologies for the huge delays. The dates in the title are the dates the photos were taken, and the description is written in “present tense”.

Not long after sunset tonight, one of those rare moments occurred when the entire world turned a shade of colour. This time is was a striking pinky/mauve. I’ve never seen the sky like this before, and the colour as you see it above was pretty much exactly as it looked to my eyes. It was remarkable, but only lasted a couple of minutes. I had to grab my camera and run to the street to get these two otherwise boring photos.

The Fine Art PhotoBlog has recently launched, and I am working hard with the six other photographers there to help make it a big success. As well as providing visitors with stunning photography every day of the week, the site is a fantastic place to buy both art prints and collector quality signed prints of our work.
I hope you will forgive me if I use my blog to promote both the Fine Art PhotoBlog and the prints I sell there. I’m proud of my work, and I want to become successful as a professional photographer. As a part of that I will be linking to the Fine Art PhotoBlog once a week, when my new weekly photo is added to the site. This is just to remind visitors to this blog of the work I have available to purchase there, and to encourage you to visit and have a look at my and the other photographers’ work, even if you aren’t interested in purchasing prints.
This week I’ve gone against the trend of the photos so far seen on the PhotoBlog. Landscapes and urban scenes have been popular so far, and while my greatest interest probably lies in landscapes, I am also very fond of the closer perspective. I have taken many macro photos of flowers, and this is one the ones I like the most.
Long-time readers of this blog may remember this from a previous entry. It was actually taken in my first experiments with off-camera flash, a skill I have learned almost entirely from the wonderful tutorials at strobist.com. I’m a little surprised that a photo taken so early in the learning process is the one I have chosen to offer on the PhotoBlog, but it’s one that’s really stuck with me. The strong colour, cheerful mood and minimalist style really appeal to me.
As I discovered in my research for the description of the photo, yellow roses are given in friendship. Perhaps a beautiful signed print of one would be an even better, and more permanent gift! :)
If this photo isn’t to your taste, perhaps you’ll find another photo you like in my collection, or from one of the other photographers.

In order to take example photgraphs for my recent DPS post Rapid Composition, I revisited the Monash Gallery of Art. I was last there a few months ago. Below are the photos I took as finished examples of composed photos.
