Steve Paxton's photos

This view is very much like Perth as well coastal city with low foothills. top to bottom PIP 1 the Holden factory that made the cars for Australia now closed down. PIP 2 Old farm.

I was asked by my brother in law( father and son) if I would like to come with him as he had just bought a new bus in Adelaide and he had to drive it back to Perth. I have always wanted to do this trip but have only ever done it by plane flying over Australia. Sounds easy 2696 km 24 hours ( @110KM) of driving, God know how many Kangaroos we missed. we left from South Australia Wednesday arrived home Friday. What is about to follow is Shot taken out of a bus travelling at 103 Km/h. you are looking at the only stop we made in the day for photos all the rest where to eat and run. For those interested to see just what its like to travel across Australia and the Nullabor plain they will follow. They are absolutely nothing like anything that you have ever seen for those who live outside Australia. Even for most a once in a life time experience. Any one up for the drive.

We walk around the swamp in our area and we have to cross this bridge. almost under water .

As the sun comes up the light on the grass. A HFF but for the purist will be posted when I get home from work tomorrow to stop " posted early" before I go to bed. PIP shows what is on the other side of the fence.

My wife brought home a total new orchid to add to the collection. This one is also full of perfume.

Going back to the car we both carry a wet umbrella and many night shots together, hours and understanding. Part of my own encouragement to try.....

The world has gone mad I have to pay $7 to park and get my few shot at a cost of 31 c each. all the while I get rained upon and you have to leave by 5pm. Is it worth being a real photographer these days and having a real camera and knowing how to use it. where is my phone but it still $7 and not a shot that comes close to this.. A few PIPS to give you part of the landscape.

this is shot with 100% fences in mind. PIP is where the water comes from for our town water supply.

The prime verses zoom.

This was a shot that did not work with a nice long exposure , all the colours blended together so the lighting was white. to get the colours I had to use a very fast shutter speed so the colours could not blend together and you got these marvelous group of colours. Enjoy large.

The building Bridge and walk way lit up pink For International ladies day. This is a 8 shot panorama of the new Stadium and foot bridge the water was not 100% flat but you got an excellent reflection of colours . Enjoy large

The meat is cut in cubes and cooked on the spits and bay leaves thrown on the fire to add extra flavour. The salt is cured with Garlic (lots of) and Bay leaves once the meat is starting to cook you knock the salt off but leaving behind the flavours, best served hot straight from the spit As per PIP with home made red wine. This has been a food that every body likes Portuguese or not once tasted. Once you taste this you never go back to cooking meat on a grill. YUM sorry no smelly vision to smell the Garlic and Bay leaves. Certainly no Portuguese Family that I have ever visited does not have an outside kitchen for just this purpose as you cant cook like this inside.
