Photographed a wedding today, and near the end of the night I realised that I'd shot the whole thing on manual and hadn't even noticed. Very proud of myself!

I decided to crop this to the 'standard' 2:3 ratio as I had a bit of space in the left of the frame. Cameras with APS-sized sensors use the 2:3 ratio, which is in other words, the proportion of a 4x6 inch print.
It looks strange to me, too skinny. I love the Olympus four thirds system. The 4:3 ratio just has such an eye-pleasing proportion.

Awwwwww I love cute baby toes

I think the blue flecks in her eyes are from the wall behind me/in front of her lit up by the flash when I bounced it.

My grandfather's funeral. He wanted a bagpiper there because he was loyal to his Scottish heritage. The flag over the coffin in the background has a pretty special and unique story.
My grandfather was a Prisoner-of-War (POW) in Saigon for four years during WW2. He and his fellow POWs were tortured to the point of near-death (and past for many). My grandfather and 67 other Australian soldiers were alive when the war was over. To celebrate the victory they made an Australian flag. The red and white sections of the flag were cut from the flag of their captors, the Japanese. The blue section was from a mosquito net in the prison camp.
All 68 soldiers signed the flag with their names, battalion, and service numbers. My grandfather was the youngest of the group so they entrusted the flag to him for safekeeping. And that he did, from 1945 until his death on April 13th, 2009 - two weeks before his 88th birthday.
From the 68 soldiers who put their names to that flag, he was the second last alive. Now only one of those soldiers remain.
A very special and unique piece of ANZAC history.

Thought I would try selective colour here for something a little more interesting although I'm not really a fan of it. I used the adjustment brush in Lightroom to do it - would be quicker in Photoshop but the computer with PS on it is no more. Which is ok because I only ever used it once in a blue moon.
DOF is all wacky in this image - still not accustomed to just how shallow a DOF I can still achieve from quite a distance with my new 50-200mm.
