My Photos 2007 Part 1
Tonight I had a great idea… why don’t I go through all my photos for 2007 and publish a little 2007 year in review for all my photography… err… it sure sounded like a a great idea. I guess I didn’t realise how many photos I had actually taken last year. So I am going to break this post into parts. I have dug deep and tried to find photos people may have not seen before. I hope you all enjoy, anyway on with the post.
January 2007
The first 3 weeks of January was pretty boring until Australia day which saw me out on the wonderful Moreton Bay with friends.
February 2007
A very quick month, I only managed to take photos of the Brisbane Motor Show.
March 2007
This was the month I really started taking my photography seriously. With several trips out and about, I took a lot of photos however they are not that great technically 
plus I was also still shooting in JPEG. The first week saw me heading west to Crows Nest for their competition, what I learnt from that trip was have a plan, don’t just drive somewhere and expect photo opportunities to be starring you in the face (I didn’t have any photos to submit to that competition, maybe this year things will be better).
I also manged to make it out onto Peel Island with my camera using my LowePro DryZone bag (kept everything dry). I only had 45mins before we had to head back aboard the boat. I did a bit of exploring, I would love to go back here for a sunset or sunrise photo shoot, only I need access to a boat.
The third week saw me invest in the Canon 15mm Fisheye and my first Friday night sessions (Where I had planned to go out every Friday taking photos, LOL that didn’t last very long). I havn’t been back to the Story Bridge yet to try these shots with the full frame sensor.
That weekend saw me out at Cleveland Point for a sunset, was a great sunset lots of rain clouds for sun light to reflect off. Looking back now at this shot, I should have done a pano, this shot doesn’t really capture much of the colours available in the sky.
The last week of March saw me try another Friday Night sessions.
Again that weekend saw me out for a sunset, this time at Wellington Point, a pretty average sunset.
April 2007
Another active month for my photography, I finally came to my senses and started shooting in RAW. This was also the month I discovered HDR images.
While out on an errand for work I spotted this plane parked near the old Brisbane airport terminal, would have liked to be on the other side of the fence :(.
Cleveland Sunset, one of my favourite places to go to growing up, this is also one of my favourite sunset shoots.
BCG had a model photo shoot/workshop at the Gold Coast spit, I attended, it was great. While this photo isn’t of a model 
this dog was really enjoying showing off to all the people around.
The last weekend of April saw me head down to Sydney for my sisters 30th birthday. Spent an afternoon down at circular quay.
May 2007
May was a realativly quiet month. I added the 50mm f1.4 to my collection of lenses, and I have used it much since, I think I might sell it.
One Saturday afternoon I went in search of an alternative sunset location, than the typical Moreton Bay ones I had been doing, I found this old train yard in Hamilton.
One afternoon at my Poppas I took this photo of some flowers he had been given.
The last half of May saw me attend my first photographic course, it was an advanced certificate in lighting course. This was my first use of studio lighting, bit of a learning curve, I pretty sure I would have forgotten everything I learnt at that course by now.
June 2007
June only saw my camera out for 3 days, and that was for the Nee Festival which was held over the June long weekend. I went camping down near Mt Maroon with Adam, Nee, Ricks and a few other people. Was a great weekend I can’t wait for this year.
Nee Festival Day 1, thanks to some help from Ricky, we had a tempted a star trail photo.
Nee Festival Day 2, a quiet day most of us were hung over. Another shot looking back now that I would have liked to see as a pano.
Nee Festival Day 3, this was my first ever sunrise shoot, I believe I was still drunk.
That is it, for the first part of my 2007 photography review. Haha I’m sure the text accompanying the photos is pretty lame, I hope you at least enjoyed the photos 
Stay tuned for the next part.

I hadn’t seen some of those photos before so thanks for posting them again. I think you’ve had a spectacular year photographically, and a year in review is perfect to re-iterate that fact. Well done.
Thanks Adz, part 2 is taking longer than expected…
