I like this photo because is so Australian - blue skies, sunburnt country and couple of blokes having a natter while "doing the domestics" when on the drink.    Just for the record, I'm not going to name the blokes as Jungle and Darky in public, but I will say it was exactly 2 years ago today and it's a Snap Frozen Yank and a Kiwi watering the horses. ;-) — in Smoky Bay, South Australia, Australia  010 FacebookHeader 2010OCT14 AUS NT BarklyHighway 019  Love the colours of the dry landscape with angry storm clouds threatening rain. This photo was taken literally in the middle of nowhere, on the Barkly Highway at the NT/QLD border.

First time with a tripod and using long exposures First time shooting in near dark light conditions with no flash. First time having just one item (the ocean liner) blurred to look like it is moving and nothing else is.    All in all, I'm quite proud of the composition and what I was able to achieve with different techniques with this particular shot. — at Sydney Harbour, Sydney, New South Wales, Australia  018 FacebookHeader 2010OCT15 AUS QLD Fourways 001  Nothing says you're in rural Australia more than double-decker, triple trailer cattle crates or even every day "Road Trains". — at Four Ways, Queensland, Australia

Call me tapped in the head, but you go from a simple stick fence to flat green pastures, up to pine trees, some antennas, soaring snow capped mountains and finally to some billowing clouds. — in Waiouru, Manawatu-Wanganui, New Zealand.  036 FacebookHeader JPN Fukuoka 2012NOV02 GO Gameday3 024  I love this photo for it's simplicity and that it looks so "moody".
