This shot was snapped from the rear of a departing ferry, using a tripod, and captures seagulls seemingly escaping from the former island prison.

Taken in exotic Port Douglas in Far North Queensland, the Sunday markets are well worth the visit. Last year I participated in the ogle Photo Walk in Canberra. I snapped this early photo using a tripod and a long exposure setting. Taken from a nice vantage point on Observatory Hill, this photo comfortably blends the serenity of the location with the grandness of the great arch. From near Luna Park in North Sydney, you are offered a great view of both the Opera House in the distance and the Harbour Bridge looming above. Just near Dawes Point Park, there is a nice view of North Sydney and Luna Park from underneath the massive shadow of the Harbour Bridge.
