I just completed a Saturday portrait photography workshop with Tania Niwa. You can check out some of my images in my gallery here. I had a great time and learned a lot about about composition and posing people. Tania made us all use the manual settings on our cameras which I had avoided until now but it was great to finally gain skills in this area.

I took my new Canon 24-105mm lens out for a test at a couple of Sydney beaches - Ramsgate & Coogee. Check out my favourite images in the gallery.

Photos from our walkabouts.

We had a nice walk through the Botanical Gardens on Sunday.

Karlene and I went to the Sydney Taronga Zoo to try out my new wide angle 11-16mm and 70-300mm zoom lenses. Click the bird to see the resulting album
