The HH piccies thread

Man, everytime I see pics of Australia I want to go there. Great pics Geoff. You had the whole beach to yourself? Is that a non swimming area? Or is it too cold? And why dont you show more pics of your lovely wife? :whistle:

You naughty naughty man. This is my lovely wife at Black Point, which was this stunning beach/headland which took us about half an hour to walk to over the most massive sand dunes I've seen... in the national park up there. The surf on the other side was awesome too:

In the middle of the week, yeah, most of the beaches were empty. But even on the weekends, the main beach there was just huge and it was easy to find a space to yourself. Non-swimming? Hell no! There's no non-swimming areas in Australia and if there are you won't catch me there. ;) I spent heaps of time surfing on the holiday (some great surf too after some mid-week storms). Water's about 18 degrees celcius at the moment, so it's beautiful. Never too cold.

You take some nice shots. I've found that even the most beautiful places look dull if a muppet is in control of the camera. Is it a hobby of yours?

Yeah, I do enjoy it but I have never had a really good camera. Even the normal digital one I usually have (which I forgot this time round) isn't the best. And this Kodak disposabe was the pits... but I got a few okay results anyway. My wife and I are getting a good camera hopefully soon and then I'll get more into it. Whenever we go somewhere beautiful I do like to capture the best aspects of it as best I can. I'm no Chris (Faust) though... :)

Just looking back over this thread ('cause I'm bored sober) and I'd have to say these two photos of Matt and Jez are the cutest things I've ever seen in my life.

Went up to visit my brother on the weekend. He recently moved up to a quiet place on the North Coast of New South Wales called Forster. I bought up my new Christmas pressie and gave it a little work out:

And I dropped into Hawkes Nest on the way up... the place where we recently went on holidays and I forgot my camera:

Stunning Picts Geoff!! Very nice area.

Thanks mate. Yeah, he's got the right idea. Everytime I visit him I wish I could just stay there. F*ck I hate the city...

What did you crop outta the first one?

The only one I cropped anything out of was this one:

 

IMG_0210.jpg

 

There were sunspot discolourations on the right hand side of the pic. Shame, as I took a few around this place but the sun got to them. Still got a lot to learn with the new camera... but I'm loving playing with it.

 

Is that the one you speak of? If not, which one? Pretty sure that's all I cropped on that batch.

The first with the big black 'boulder'. Is that not a cropping? It doesn't look natural.

Just had a look and yeah, I see what you mean. I think I thought that first too. But yeah, I promise you that's 100% natural.

I was going to post a pic or two, but after seeing Geoff's pic's. I don't dare to try :bowdown:

Well done Mate! :beerbang:

Post away mate! None of us are ever going to post anything like Chris (Faust) but it's still cool to see whatever pops up in this thread. Well, I like it anyway. :)
