We were on our way home from the city and we took a wrong turn and ended up north of the bridge. I thought “might as well take some photos now that we’re here” since I don’t often find myself on the other side.
Well she didn’t get me the moon but she did get me a Sky-Watcher ED100 telescope. Its the gift that keeps on giving! I’ve always wanted to see it up close so it really made me super happy when she surprised me with it. Plus the box was huge so I got to unwrap something big which was a really nice feeling, one that I haven’t felt since I was a little kid.

My mother got some flowers for her birthday and I thought I’d take some photos. My first attempt at macro flower shots, I think it turned out okay. I used my trusty Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II as well as a cheap macro closeup lens attached to the filter ring.

This was shot from the Royal Botanic Gardens in Sydney. All this time living in Sydney and I just went to the Botanic Gardens yesterday. My better half was hungry and wanted to go home but I really wanted to stay until I got this shot. When we got home, I ended up not cooking dinner right away because I wanted to review my shots. What a crappy husband This was stitched together from 3 photos, each of which was created from 3 exposures, so 9 photos in...
