Randomness at the Wharf

11 Oct
2008

On Tuesday, M12 and I spent the afternoon at Darling Harbour. It was such a lovely day where we decided to do something ‘nerdy’ together. lol
Actually, M12 purpose was to take scenery pictures for his novel he is writing about and I thought he might need some company so I tagged along to ensure he ‘keeps it real’. xD

Besides, it was a good opportunity to give my camera a good workout and test some of it’s other settings.

I felt like taking a dip as it was quite a hot day. ^^

We were at Tumbalong Park at that time.

M13 wanted to push me in. T_T

A few seagulls cooling down

The places where we went had a lot of sprouts. Hmmm… I wonder if it’s drinkable? :P

I should have brought one of my figmas along. There were a few places where the background was perfect for some randomness figma shots. ^^

In a few days, it might be a full grown leaf. ^^

"Centre" is the last word

Entrance to the Exhibition Centre

Sydney Olympic 2000 Emblem

What sports do you like watching in the Olympics? A few comes into mind are Volleyball, Soccer, Badminton and Gymnastics. xD

This shot was taken at max zoom (10x). Not a bad shot IMO. ^^

Up ahead is the IMAX centre.

Might wanna check this out when I get the time

One of the monorail in the city. M12 wanted to be inside. ^^

"Complete randomness" =D

So calm and peaceful. ^^

A mother whale and her calf are one of the main attractions here. ^^

Note: That person going down the elevator is M12. He’s kinda shy in the real life so don’t push him or he might erupt into “M13″ =D

I wish I have one of these statue in the front of my house. It will scare every stray cat away. ^^

Does it look like a deer to you? I think it's a moose.

Well, I hope you enjoy this ‘randomness’ post. I wouldn’t blame you if you skimmed right through it.

I thought the day was fun. M12 and I joked a lot and he did a few stupid things like for eg. going down a kid slide in a children playground. I thought he was hilarious as he acted like a 2 year old. hahahaha
I did managed to get a shot but I rather not show as he might hunt me down the next morning. >_>

My camera is the Canon PowerShot SX100 IS.

I bet you learned a ton about your cameras setting with these pics! I still have to try my new camera out in different kind of situations.

You like watching gymnastics? XD Of course because they have such control over there body eh? ^_^

@Blowfish
It’s their flexibility that catches my attention especially the ladies. xD
I played around with the contrast and brightness a lot.

@sonic
lol. I’m a bit shy myself as well. >_>

@M12
Just so u know, the little kids were laughing at u. lol

@Otaku Dan
Well, the best tip i can give is ‘trial and error’.
it took me a while to tune the setting for each environment. I kinda like keeping the ‘vivid’ option because the colours don’t fade away because of the brightness and contrast.

@Rin
The place we went had a nice scenery. The others were a piece of trash. -_-

@gordon
It was good for a walk in the park. Really it was. ^^

Awesome photos Gaz~
Erm, yeah, hi~ I haven’t been around for a while, took a break from blogs ^^;; I’ll explain in my next post once I get around to it.

Anyhow, I love the locations you picked for photos, good choices =D I’ve been meaning to do the same, but the lack of a good quality camera stops me, not to mention I’m rarely in the city and tend to go only for one specific purpose or other u_u~

p.s I wouldn’t dare to try drinking the water, lol

@koshiko

Well, if ur not busy then we can both do something together and have another randomness day somewhere else. ^_^

Thanks for the welcome back ;_;~
