The Brisbane Flickr group I’m a part of had a lunch meet on Saturday at the Caxton, followed by coffee at the Powerhouse, during which we caught up on gear acquisitions and took random portraits of one another. Before we left Fortitude Valley we went up to the cliffs for sunset and blue hour (the hour after sunset). Most of us took panoramas and landscapes of the city but since I didn’t have my tripod with me I improvised (shot below).

The following morning we met up at about 4:30am at Fingal Head on the Northern NSW coast for a dawn shoot and light painting (long exposure photography using torches or flashes to illuminate subjects - in this case the lighthouse at Fingal Head). I didn’t take part in the light painting but took a few shots during and after dawn.

As usual, each of the images opens up to a wallpaper size version if clicked.
