Macquarie Lighthouse

by Rommel S. G. in


December last year, our friend from Melbourne went here in Sydney for a company sponsored training. He's a photo enthusiast and was interested in landscape photography so we have toured him to cool beautiful places here in Sydney. This was our first stop, the Macquarie Lighthouse, it said to be Australia's first and longest operating navigational light. 1

The place was serene. You can feel the history / nostalgia of the lighthouse. Beautiful, beautiful place.

Along the tour, he found out that he forgot his graduated filter. The filter he specifically bought for this visit . It was funny seeing his face when he grumbled about that. His face looks like he had just misplaced a good amount of money and no one he can blame but himself. LOL. And when he is about to forget it... I'd always remind him by looking at his recent snap and say: "Hmm.. what would it look like if there's graduated filter on it. Maybe its better". He'll look at me, smile and say "You evil". LOL. Oh well, so bully me. But It's all good.

The tour was a lot of fun. Getting to see your old friends again couldn't be much better :-)

[Photo Stroll]: Alpha

by Rommel S. G. in


..So I did daydream, and inside that dream it says I'll try a little bit of a hobby, a little bit of a mission. I'll take snaps of whatever stuff that interests me, the things that inspires me, that amuses me or just something that I saw beautiful on it

...And I'll call it "Photo Stroll".

 

Well its kind of a "photo walk" really. I just feel that I like it to have a different / not ordinary name. ;-)

And what a great way to start it is with this: 

 

A toilet room and a rubbish bin. Haha!!!

And so this is it. This is Alpha. The journey starts here. Looking forward for more snaps and that along the way, I could be able to put more depth and emotion to the photos. Hopefully I won't ran out of vision, of inspiration and of motivation.

There are two mistakes one can make along the road to truth… not going all the way, and not starting.
