Afs Nikon 1424mm F2 8 Tapestries

A cool display I didn't see at last year's Riverfire -- a star of fireworks coming off the Story Bridge. This was just after a waterfall of fireworks inside the bridge itself (which I got no decent pictures of).

What else can I say? Despite an inauspicious start when we all arrived to find temporary fencing blocking off the best photo spots, it was a brilliant day punctuated by an amazing display.

I love going to Wilson's Outlook for Riverfire! Great atmosphere and the view really can't be beaten!

More amazing fireworks during Riverfire 2010. I don't know if seeing this show could ever get old!

This shot was from a very fun steel wool burning session under the Story Bridge in Captain Burke Park. This one is being spun above Anita's head rather than out in front of her.

From a very fun session of steel wool twirling in Captain Burke Park at Brisbane's Kangaroo Point.

A lone fisherman heads out to sea on a gorgeous morning in Svolvær. Maybe he was training for the World Cod Fishing Championships the next weekend?

Since we didn't have much of a sunset at Amity Point on Sunday, I spent a lot of time playing with different angles and compositions that I might not have tried otherwise. I got this shot about 30 minutes after "sunset."

The incoming tide smashing over the rocks at Currumbin Beach, on Queensland's Gold Coast, just before sunrise.

Waves splashing on the rocks in the little cove between Main Beach and the Gorge on North Stradbroke Island. Shot around midday using an ND400 filter.

After going out for a day in London, I arrived back at Earl's Court Station just after dusk. It seemed like a perfect time to get some shots of the Tube -- the only problem being I didn't have a tripod! Good thing there were a few chairs I could balance my camera on.

Waves crashing into the rock pools at Currumbin on the Gold Coast just after sunrise. Further out to sea, paddleboarders are following the whales that came in incredibly close to shore.

The Danbos doing the annual visit to the shopping mall to meet Santa and tell him everything they want for Christmas.

One of my favourite scenes from Svolvær, the 'capital' of the Lofoten Islands that absolutely blew me away. I think I could have spent my entire trip in Lofoten -- stockfish stink and all!

Unfortunately, after enjoying the blue skies over North Stradbroke Island in the early afternoon, the clouds descended and stayed there. We were lucky enough that it didn't rain on us, but it did force us to recompose the shots we'd planned to take under the full moon!
