Police officers directing diplomatic traffic for CHOGM as well as the public who were attending the Big Aussie BBQ.

I got jealous of this guy's telephoto lens on his Canon... So I decided to take a picture of him.

Awaiting for the arrival of the Queen. The large screens covered her entire journey from her residence in Perth to the event site at the Esplanade.

Her Majesty giving her speech to West Australians.

A man holds up the Union Jack in clear view of the Queen. This was as far as my camera could zoom. How I wish I had that telephoto lens just like the one the guy in the other picture had =(

Instagram is a very creative application for iPhone users. The application allows users to take a photo with their iPhone, edit them with different effects and post them onto Instagram, Twitter or Facebook. You don't need to be a professional photo editor to use this application. All you need is a steady picture and some creativity (almost forgot to mention you also need an iPhone to use it). Here are some pictures I took during the filming of my SPRA111 drama.

CHOGM Day 3

Date Taken: 30/ 10/ 2011

Camera Used: Nikon D80

On the 30th of October 2011, CHOGM was on it's 3rd and final day. This would be my third day in a row wandering around Perth City hoping to capture any significant events. On this day I only captured 30-40 pictures, nothing too significant. Except for one. I just happened to swing my camera around on Hay Street when I took this photograph of a Police Officer from New South Wales shaking hands with a little girl. Of all the photographs I took in my life, this one remains as my favorite photograph ever taken.
