Hi Tor, yes Bribie Island is only about 30 minutes from Brisbane. Hope you make it over for at least a visit or perhaps some studies sometime. I hope to do the same in Sweden sometime too! Don't forget the equipment is not really important for photo's, even a cheap camera is probably better than an untrained eye (like mine!) so it needn't cost much to have fun with photo's. Of course lots of gear is fun for gear freaks! :)
Regards
Charles

Thanks for the comment! The thing is that it wasn't my camera. I became a member a few minutes ago since I found one of my Australian relatives through Google. This photo is sooo beautiful! Brisbane huh? I'm thinking about going there for studies :)

Thanks Arif. That sunset was a bit unusual and I think the light comes from the fact that the clouds are well in above the sun which had just set and the red and orange colour is it's final glow which reflects off the clouds back onto the sea. I almost didn't take this shot as I usually like to look for pinks and light across a large area of cloud, but I was glad that I did! I got lucky :) Regards
Charles

Here is a shot exposed for the flora referred to previously. I'll be tryig these types of shots with polarising filters when I have time to get to a store to buy some as I've heard they can be useful for rainforest images.

Thanks Daniel! I created this picture from 5 images selected from a series of 36 shots to get both light and detail in the final image by layering in PS and using software for light enahancement of all light behind the trees with emphasis of course on the left. I then ran a gentle gradient over the whole picture. Attached is a one of the shots with blown highlights used as the base for the light in the picture. I'll attach another image in the next post showing exposure used for the forest flora. All had to be carefully aligned as no tripod was available or used - can rarely bother carrying it!
Thanks and regards,
Charles

Hi Nin,
Yes, Birds Nest Ferns is the common name used to refer to these epiphytic ferns. There's about 26 species of these in Australia. They grow fairly high up in the canopy where they can get light although they sometimes can be found on cliff faces or rock crevices at gorund level where there is a bit of a clearing inthe forest allowing some light to reach the ground. The leaves form a dramatic rosette shape that catches rain and falling debri thus channelling liquid and nutrients to the fern. They are easily grown in pots at home in partial shade situations.
Regards
Charles

Many thanks Arif! I adore his expressions too. Like I can see Banjee is from her pics, Didi is a very affectionate and entertaining character and attracts much attention on his adventures.
