Nicki & Chris

Long overdue post, so a belated congrats to Nicki and Chris who were married on 9th of October 2008.

This wedding was a little interesting... firstly the 1950's Rolls Royce that Nicki and her brother were chauffeured in from Gungahlin to Bungendore broke down. The driver had to make some quick repairs to the carby by the side of the road. Luckily they were only about half an hour late. During this time, I had plenty of time with Chris as we waited for his bride to arrive :)



Then, after Nicki has arrive, and just before she was going to walk down the isle, she realised that the celebrant wasn't around! A quick phone call and about 40mins later the celebrant arrived and performed the ceremony....



After the ceremony we did some shots in the lovely Carrington gardens, and then headed down to the Bungendore train station for some more shots.

People's Choice

I've got so much to blog about, but haven't had the time. Have done a couple more weddings recently which I'll add to the blog soonish I hope.

Last night was another competition night for the Canberra Photographic Society. What made this comp a bit different to normal was that as well as the judge giving comments and rating each photo, before the judging was a people's choice award. Everyone voted for their favorite 3 photos in B grade and A grade in a secret ballot. And I'm pleased to say that one of my photos was chosen as the joint winner in B grade.



I presented it as a small print with a black mat. It was taken near Mt Hotham in Victoria, right next to Dinner Plain Hut. I was walking around the hut taking photos from various positions and this little tree poking out of the snow caught my eye.
