Wandering... wondering...

[morsla]

Leaving aeliel's place this morning, I decided to walk home - a slow, meandering, three-hour walk that took me through a dozen parks and laneways that I'd never seen before. After about an hour, I realised that I hadn't eaten anything before leaving the house - but I managed to scrounge up enough dried fruit and chocolate from my backpack to make a decent breakfast. I think fieldwork has taught me some good habits...

I went for a wander through the Botannical Gardens, too - I guess it must be Autumn...

I decided to play with my new camera - haven't tried many of the manual settings yet, but I took a few photos as I walked along. As always, when the weather turns, the place suddenly looks quite different...

Some more photos are at http://www.pbase.com/morsla/autumn2004 if anyone's interested :-)

They're great pictures! You've got a good eye.

Thanks :) Only for landscapes, though - my photos of people have been universally awful, any time I've tried to take them.

Might go wandering again later tonight, and try some long exposure shots out in the dark. Dusk would be a good time for it - I like things silhouetted against the horizon. We just don't seem to have enough deciduous trees around for that skeletal look ;)

Three more photos from tonight's wander (down to Albert Park) are in that folder. The first is pretty fuzzy (still getting used to the exposure time), but the other two turned out okay.

I decided to look at the bright lights, instead of seeing things standing against the sky...
