I headed down to Melbourne on Sunday to take in the Chinese New Year celebrations in Chins Town. While we were there we decided to visit some of the many graffiti alleyways of Melbourne. Here are some of the panoramas from the day (more will be updated as I process them over the next few days)

I ran in to these guys in Croft Lane, Melbourne. If one of you read this, come over to my facebook page and have a chat. Mawby Creative on Facebook

My wife, 18 month old twin girls and I headed over to Bali for a week to relax and catch up with Taylor for her 21st birthday. I didn’t manage to shoot much but I did capture some panoramas of the hotel.

I paid a visit to the Chinese Precinct in Bendigo last night during the blue hour to see if I could get a couple of nice panoramas and to test out my new Sigma 8mm f/3.5 fish eye lens.

It was a little on the cooler side and I forgot a jumper and the mozzies were hungry but I was pleased with the two images I captured.

The lotus flower is beautiful at dusk/night as the lighting enhances the look.
