After a busy month, I can head off this morning

without my camera or tripod. Oktoberfest was fun and a success as well (I believe) but today may just be a photo-free day. Looking forward to dinner this evening...

A great lunch today after a nice walk in the snow

It certainly gets dark early now that we have changed our clocks to winter time. Shot a roll of film yesterday and this morning- very happy with the results and a couple of the pictures have made it into my Challenge thread for the month.

They tell me that we may even get some snow on the weekend

so I have been busy hiding some shoes and I need to go to the cellar to dig out some big boots. It will be fun to take a few photos of, but after 4 or 5 months the novelty certainly wears off  :-)
Nice to see Mrs Moose firing up the blog again- it has been a little quiet on the Singapore front. Thanks!

Josef was good (no real doubt there)

and the weekend has been quite relaxing. Why am I feeling so tired? I can't imagine that things are going to settle down in the next little while, so maybe I will have to sleep when I'm dead.

Sushi was great last night

and I really enjoyed tapas this evening. Josef tomorrow night makes the hat-trick. Just gotta love that.

Well, I guess

that I should have known that there would be too many people at the Nikon Day :-) They had some nice kit on display, but it was too hot in the hall for my liking and I only hung around for an hour or so before heading out to take some more photos. In the end, photography is all about getting out and shooting, huh?

Nikon photo day tomorrow

which I am really looking forward to. The presentations should be interesting and fun and it will be nice to see a few keen photographers. If they ask me to sign a few autographs, I might even oblige  :-)

Today was less stunning on the weather front

so it was a perfect opportunity to shoot some black and white film. A quick walk around in Zürich was pretty productive and I have managed to keep my Oktoberfest project rolling.
I will freely admit that it wouldn't bother me in the least if tomorrow were Sunday and not Monday already....

Saturday 6 October 2012

Took advantage of the sun, warm weather

and the fact that today was Saturday to get out and shoot a few photos. I'm happy with the way that things turned out and even though shooting in the half-dark and in black-and-white is maybe not quite so much fun, I'm looking forward to doing some of that as this month progresses.
I hear that there is a very well-fed kookaburra in the Lane Cove National Park area :-)

October is here

and I'm trying to shoot plenty of photos for the annual Oktoberfest photo challenge. So far, things are going OK and I'm looking forward to the weekend...... oh, Catherine will be arriving back home as well   :-)
