I won’t deluge you with pictures of babies, because let’s face it, pictures of other people’s kids aren’t ever as interesting to people as they are to the relatives. But I met my 2 day old nephew yesterday, and as you might imagine, was quick to stick a camera in his face. It’s nice to have a DSLR on these occasions, because you can take LOADS of pictures and then keep the ones where they aren’t pulling too ridiculous a face.
Technical info: ISO 100, f/1.4, 1/125s, 30mm handheld.

Not my usual type of photograph this, but I really like the weird shapes and sensation of movement created by the blur. Just playing with my new lens by taking pot shots at the birds just outside my office window, and caught this little chap just launching off.

Every year Lakeside puts on a fantastic Chinese new year show with lots of live acts, culminating in a massive firework display. Here are a few of my favourite pictures from this year. If you want to see the whole set, it’s on my flickr account.
For most of the evening, i was just shooting handheld using P mode (basically automatic where you can override certain features - bascially all I overrode was focussing (i like it centre only, so I can plan it) and raw output. The top shot is a 3 shot HDR and the bottom one just a long exposure with a tripod, with some tweaking to brighten up the bottom of the frame in post processing so the crowd is visible.
