I just don't know what to call this one, because I honestly could not come up with a name for the life of me.

Newnes coke ovens

Newnes coke ovens

After a night of painting with light out at Newnes I decided to spend a morning taking photos of the coke ovens.

sadly my tripods head is playing up so I had to take these photos hand held, I hope to get out there again soon when I have  sorted the tripod out.

Painting with light at Newnes

Painting with light.

Now that Tafe is on holidays I decided to spend Wednesday night, the first night of the fist term holiday, photographing the oil shale refinery ruins at Newnes after classes finished for the day.

I spent 15 minutes adding curves to lighten the background and darken the ruins of the coke ovens.

I hope to get back out to Newnes again soon.

I made the  decision to give this an arty farty name, because why not. (I will not mention that I am completely rubbish at naming my own work)

Bathurst 2016 New years eve party in the park fireworks

Bathurst 2016 New years eve party in the park fireworks

Since 2009 Bathurst city council have hosted a public new years eve party called party in the park, in Victoria park opposite Bathurst base hospital which culminates in a fireworks display at 9pm (AEDT).

Apart from the odd stranger getting in the way and the occasional badly framed photo, I did manage to get a few good photos of the fireworks from the night.

so the lesson from the 2016 was expect a few dodos to wander in and stand in front of the camera and stare blankly, but at the same time not get all strung up about it and keep on photographing or better still just move to a new spot and photograph from there.
