Look out now

Here are some samples of some various photos i took using various apertures. I am just playing with aperture to get the depth of field at varying distances to create that blurred affect giving more or less significance to the main object.

Learning to take good photos

Playing around with a DSLR camera and i am looking to replicate some of these cool looking photos. I will see how i go.

June 10th

So its June 10th here in Canada and my 91st day in North America since i landed in Los Angeles on March 11th. I haven’t really been working much, i have done a few stucco jobs but i don’t really think its what i want to do here in Canada. I know the pay is good but lots of hard work for me to enjoy the summer and to enjoy the country. As of this Monday i will hopefully have a long term job working at Sumac Ridge Winery. We apparently will be bottling some champagne. Wish me Luck.

The weather hasn’t been all that great here but i guess i’ve been too lucky living in Australia all these years. This weekend looks to be the first warm to hot weekend here, the forecast is saying 28 to 29 degrees for both Saturday and Sunday. Heres Hoping its a nice warm weekend.

Also this weekend is my Neices First birthday. Already one year old. How fast has that been. It’s good to see that she is healthy and growing strong. I sent her a little pink bicycle for her birthday which hopefully she will like and use to help build strength in her legs.

Angus and Julia Stone - Walk It Off

Walk it off now
You can tell them all how, how hard we tried to work it out
Walk it off dear
Standing here with your tail between your legs
Here we stand
There's nothing left for you
There's nothing left for me
Here I am
There's nothing left for you
There's nothing left for me
I will never be what you want to see now
I will never be what you want to see now
I never wanted you to go
But I'd be the last to let you know
Walk it off now
You can tell them all how, how good it feels to be let down
Tell them all about
How long it was to get around to her side of town
Here we stand
There's nothing left for you
There's nothing left for me
Here I am
There's nothing left for you
There's nothing left for me
I will never be what you want to see now
I will never be what you want to see now
I never wanted you to go
But I'd be the last to let you know
Walk it off now
You can tell them all how I finally let you down
Stand around here in this small town
And tell me how it feels
Tell me how it feels
