I cannot complain about 2014,, it wasn't a bad year celebrating beloveds 50th Birthday, Daughter finishing her 2nd last year of high school, catching up with friends and my photography
My photography last year took me to some awesome places, and my love affair with my camera hasn't diminished yet. I'm hoping 2015 will bring me bigger and better things with my photography.
Hubby had my first photo printed for me on metal and gave it to me for Christmas that was amazing and the image looks so good.
If you would like to purchase one of my image on metal please contact me.
New years was great we had an awesome time watching the fireworks from Point Gellibrand Coastal Park. We had planned to sit in the main part of Williamstown but at 6.30pm we could not get a parking spot. Everywhere you looked there were cars, so I suggested to beloved to follow the road down past the shops to the park, he grumbled a bit and said not a good spot. I think I had suggested a good spot, there were only us and 3 other cars until much later and we had the pick of the spots.
This is the not so good spot according to hubby
As we sat in the car and waited, eating chocolate and chips and drinking coffee it started out to be a good night for both of us. We watched several ships pass by one of to Tasmania with a boat load of travelers. The other a cargo ship of to who knows where.
It was a lovely cool evening after such a hot day, we watched children fishing with their family and getting excited as they felt their rod pull and hoping to be able to lure in that fish. Families sat and waited for the first fire works to appear at 12:00pm.
We had a perfect spot, yes beloved even had to eat his words and agreed with me that it was a good spot to sit and wait and watch the world go by. From where we sat we could see St Kilda and all it's high rise buildings as the sun began to set.
The park began to fill as it got closer to midnight cars tried to get the good spots but sadly they disappeared quite quickly, I was thankful that we got their so much earlier and managed to get the best spot.
People started to emerge from their cars trying to get a good standing position. I set up my tri-pod at 11.50pm and waited patiently for midnight to approach. 10, 9, 8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1 Midnight hooray were the cheers of people and children squealed as they watched the fireworks over the city buildings. Fathers placed small children on their shoulders so they didn't miss anything and I snapped away with my camera trying and hoping to get some really good photos. I had my 55 -250mm lens on my camera, but wished I had a 70-200mm lens, oh well I suppose you make do with what you have at the time. The fireworks lasted about 20 minutes and another new years celebrations were over for another year. Happy New Year to Everyone.
