Engineeeeering!

Interesting subject matter to photograph. Not my usual interest but I do like the challenge of finding something interesting no matter where I am. I guess I am finding value in heading to random places/events and taking the Leica with me and aiming to at least take a few interesting shots even if they don’t make the blog in the end – it’s all a bit of fun.

AUDI

So you haven’t heard it from me already. Yes I do love AUDIcars! I mean love love love them! It might be self-indulging but this love affair all started because I share my initials with the AUDI TT. Recently hit up the International Motor Show at the Melbourne Convention Centre. Pretty awesome! I have been to car shows before but it’s been a while and AUDI has really strengthened its presence and image. Not sure about the burn orange colour – it seems very Nissan inspired but it’s nice to see a pop of colour in the collection! I can only dream of ever owning one! But hey it's fun to just get up close to some stylish cars. You can certainly appreciate the design without necessarily owning it I guess :)

Where did the sun go???

In all honesty it is perfect blogging weather today in Melbourne. It’s completely miserable outside overcast, windy and wet. Possibly the worst combination for weather on my day off work too! So I thought I’d put up a photo from about 3 months ago. I remember it being a very balmy night beautiful colours in the sky – quite enchanting.

I took this photograph in some ‘sunset’ or ‘silhouette’ mode on the Leica D-Lux 5. Leica has a ridiculous number of modes that just do amazing things – and like I’ve mentioned in my other posts any help from a camera is welcomed by the amateur photographer in me lol.

Anyways it’s a great photo to remind me of the fact that Melbourne does get great weather. Winter is never easy and I guess no city is really all that ‘fun’ when it’s cold and wet. So my point – can’t wait for some warmer weather! But for now hot water bottles, heaters and hot tea are my best friends for the winter time at least.
