More "politicus interruptus": Two turtles on a log in Yeppen Lagoon, Rockhampton, Australia. I'm not sure if it was a standoff or if they were just saying Hi. #photography

I drove up Mt. Archer, with a polarising filter attached to the camera lens, thinking it could cut through the haze. Silly me! The smoke/haze I usually complain about has gone through the roof, the filter failed utterly. #photography #failedphotography

We've got bushfire burnoff in the Berserker Ranges. This is a phone photo from the north end of Kemp Beach near Yeppoon, Queensland, Australia, showing the smoke rising until flattened by the westerly wind. The plume extends beyond the Keppel Islands. ##photography

In my continuing series of experiments with wide-angle photography: A water runnel in sand, plus rocks, shadowed by late afternoon sun. Let's play "spot the bare foot print"! #photography

My fun day at the beach included some more experiments with the ultra-wide angle lens. This is a view of the harbour side cliff face showing the basalt columns of Double Head at Rosslyn Bay near Yeppoon, Queensland, Australia. #photography

I bought a 14mm Wide lens a year or so ago, but only recently started experimenting with it. I still have a lot to learn about it. It never occurred to me to try a night sky photo! This is one of the experiments: #photography

I've been experimenting with an ultra-wide lens for an older camera that I bought some time ago. I'm trying to work out how to best make use of it. Let me know what you think of my "signs of civilization". #photography

Another photo of a cormorant or darter, taken at Woolwash Lagoon, Rockhampton. It was on the near shore of the lagoon so I didn't even need my long lens! The sunshine is showing clearly the striped feathers near the base of it's wings. #photography #nativebird

Not a bird! I went hunting fog photos early, and got this shot of the Moon surrounded, not by a halo, but fuzzy with fog. #photography

More of the native bird life on Yeppen Lagoon, Rockhampton, Australia. This one is a cormorant or possibly a (similar) darter, resting on a stump in the middle of the lagoon and enjoying some afternoon sun. #photography #nativebird

This photo was taken across the Woolwash (lagoon) on Port Curtis Road (the old highway) just out of Rockhampton. I think it's a wedgetail eagle, perched in a lookout tree popular with local birds. #photography #bird

More disruption of the flood of politics. For those of who've never seen a sulphur crested cockatoo feeding a juvenile. I should have videoed for the noise the juvenile makes! Next time. ##photography #wildlife #Australian_native :
