Nitro Youth Group Op Shop Formal

As their end-of-year break up, the youth group at my church had an "op-shop" formal. Some of the finds were incredible! Here are a few of my favourites. Enjoy!

I don't know what Wayne Cooper would have thought of his dress ending up in an op-shop, but luckily for him, this one didn't...Stevie just cheated on the theme :)

It's been a while

So here is a little something while we wait for better shoots.

My dad has almost finished building a deck out the back of our house. Next to it is a tree that has just suddenly burst into bloom with millions of tiny white flowers that attract a great deal of bugs. So while I am unemployed, my days have been spent sitting on the deck, getting a tan, and waiting for a bug to sit still long enough for me to zoom in, focus, compose the shot, set the exposure, and then press the button. It doesn't happen all that often.

184 Enoggera Rd

I used to drive past this Mexican restaurant everyday, and I ended up falling in love with it's red door. However, it's not a good idea to take photos while you are driving, especially on a DSLR in manual mode, and I did want people in the photo, so I had to go without for a very long time.

All that changed today when I drove past with my friend and pointed it out, and she mentioned that her anniversary is on the 18th of the 4th. Well, we couldn't just leave it at that now, could we?

Danielle

I asked my sister if I could take some photos of her and her Maton. Hope y'all like 'em!

This one looks a little like a postcard, but I like it coz she's laughing.

This little dude kept circling us! It was scary how loud his wings were! I managed one semi-decent photo, but he was so fast! And so big!

That's all for now :)

Abandoned and Beautiful

I cannot get over abandoned buildings. I love them. We kind of trespassed a little, and ran off scared a few times, (Mt Glorious is a SCARY place...) but it was worth it for these photos! :)

LOVE the blue door!

And then the afternoon finished nicely with a pretty sunset...and nearly hitting a dingo with my car on the way home! I've never seen a dingo in the wild before! It was scary!

I ADORE this first shot! I'm sorry Photoshop, but your rendered lens flare has got nothing on natural!

Enjoy! :)
