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.

Supermoon Phenomena

Date Taken: 19/ 03/ 2011
Camera Used: Canon PowerShot SX20 IS

A "supermoon" is the coincidence of a full moon (or a new moon) with the closest approach the Moon makes to the Earth on its elliptical orbit, or perigee, leading to the technical name for a supermoon of the perigee-synergy of the Earth-Moon-Sun system. Massive moon = Perfect photography session.

Perth City at Night

Date Taken: 31/ 08/ 2010
Camera Used: Canon PowerShot SX100 IS

This picture of Perth City was taken from Kings Park. I took this last year when I was celebrating a friend's birthday in Kings Park. Not bad for a 10 Megapixel camera.

HMAS Ovens at Sunset

Date taken: 15/ 09/ 2011

Camera Used: Canon PowerShot SX20 IS

This picture was taken at the WA Maritime Museum in Fremantle. HMAS Ovens is a decommissioned Oberon class submarine. She was commissioned on the 18th of April 1969 and was officially decommissioned on the 1st of December 1995. She now serves as a museum ship at the WA Maritime Museum Dry Docks in Fremantle. I was on my way to the South Mole Lighthouse when we passed by the dry docks. At the spot where I was standing, I thought the position of the sun and this magnificent vessel quietly sitting on the dry docks would make a good photo.  

Thean Hou Temple, Kuala Lumpur

Date Taken: 04/ 02/ 2011
Camera used: Canon PowerShot SX20 IS

This photograph was taken in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Malaysia consist of 3 main ethnicities, Malays, Chinese and Indians. We celebrate every cultural celebration celebrated by each ethnicity. During Chinese New Year, this temple was decorated with hundreds of red lanterns. Photographers from all over the world flock to this particular temple in Kuala Lumpur known as Thean Hou Temple as it is situated on a hill overlooking the city of Kuala Lumpur where the scenery is amazing.

The Moon Turns Red

Date Taken: 10/ 12/ 2011
Camera: Canon PowerShot SX20 IS

Last weeks Lunar eclipse. For the first time in my photographic life, I was able to photograph a lunar eclipse. This particular Lunar Eclipse made the moon turn red and is the last eclipse till 2014. I shot this in auto mode because my lens was having problems focusing properly.

Ultimate Frisbee

Date Taken: 15/ 04/ 2011

Camera: Nikon D80

I joined Curtin Ultimate Frisbee on the first week of classes in Curtin College. This picture of my teammates was taken during the Tertiary Sports Western Australia (TSWA) Ultimate Frisbee competition. Unfortunately, I was not able to join them due to an injury sustained a week before. Even though I was out of the competition, I still went to give my support to my teammates (and I brought a camera along). Curtin went into the finals against UWA but didn't come out as champions. No matter the outcome, I am glad to be given the opportunity to train with some of the most talented athletes in Perth.
