Ten of my fav shots of 2010
In no particular order….. with a few details on why I choose each of them.
Of course, I will walk away from this blog post, and go… oh shit, what about x or y… but these are the stand outs for differing reasons.
But one thing these shots have in common is getting out there. Sitting behind the computer may get you a few shots, but going out in the rain, the heat, the crowds, the isolation will get you the good photos.
10,000 Meters
Taken from an aircraft window, the colour for me tells the story. This is one of my no subject matter shots, that says photography is still art.

Freeeeedom
Taken at Brighton Beach, this shot for me is about fun, summer and expression. And a lot of luck to get all the elements and the camera in play at the same time.

The end of 10
Oh so many sunsets to choose from…. This one has it all, the light, the colour, shapes and silhouettes.

Voting in Australia
I was really pleased with this shot, one a quite a few, trying to capture what Voting in Australia really means.
Peace Love Brains
For the life of me, I have no idea how I got the lighting on this shot so right. Taken at the Melbourne Zombie shuffle.
We Shall Remember them
This is the first dawn service I have got up for in quite sometime. One of the hard things, was trying to find a place to get a photo from, due to the crowds.

Some people are just born Republicans
Taken the day after I got my new 300mm lens, this is a still photo as a story.
The Way Home
Still one of my all time fav shots. This shot is a what the camera see’s, not what I saw. And is the shot I was aiming for. I could see all the details in the dim light, I set the shot up to remove them and it worked.

Closing up for the Day
The depth of field and colouring in this shot all just sat together perfectly for me.

@JohnBirmingham signing his new book After America
I was trying to get a photo of John, but one that told a story, not just a “fan” photo. This I felt was the essence of why he was where he was at the time.
