Char Kway Teow – Penang – Sister
As a follow to “What makes a good Char Kway Teow?”, I thought I’d show you what was considered by some as the best Char Kway Teow in Penang. It’s from a shop called Sister’s located on Macalister Road.
I doubt you can find anything even remotely like it anywhere else in the world. Penang [...]

Sydney Harbour Bridge – Grass Picnic
Fancy a picnic on the Sydney Harbour Bridge? That’s exactly what happened, they laid out almost 3km of grass to cover the entire motorway for 6000 lucky residents to enjoy a breakfast picnic on the harbour bridge. The predicted rains kept away and it was a sensational morning!

Sydney Opera House – Night Photography
Night shot of Sydney’s most iconic landmark, the Opera House. I havem’t done much with long exposures but it was nice to try out some different settings to get interesting effects. I liked how the various coloured lighting reflected on the water.

Images of Japan – Street
It’s been a while since I last shared a photo. This was one I took when I visited Japan a while back. I like how the composition of this turned out, there’s an imaginary horizon at the street level with a sea of people at the bottom. And in that sea of people, you [...]

American Samoa
American Samoa is one of the smaller Pacific Islands with a population of approx. 68,000. Although adopting a lot of American culture, it wasn’t particularly touristy or developed which is perfect for those seeking a peaceful adventure. With the main source of income derived from exporting tuna, it also boasts the freshest sashimi.

Sydney Harbour – Photo
I’ve had a few visitors outside of Australia who visit this site. I thought I’d share a picture of Sydney taken from the Harbour Bridge taken by amateur photographer Alan L. What I really like about this photo is the vanishing point effect.
Additional Information :
You can walk across the Sydney Harbour Bridge and it affords [...]

Paris Skyline from Notre Dame – Photo
This view of the Paris skyline was taken from the top of Notre Dame. I really like the composition and if you look at the horizon, you’ll notice the Eiffel tower. Although taken from the same place this photo is very different to the Garygoyle photo. I refer to this as my “Batman” photo as [...]

Notre Dame Gargoyle – Photo
Was thinking it would be nice to start the first day of Spring (here in Australia) with a photo. This is a photo of one of the gargoyles perched onto Notre Dame in Paris. I took this shot earlier this year when I was travelling around France. The foreground is in sharp focus while the [...]

I thought today I’d share a photo I took of the Westminster Abbey in London. I was very happy with how the shot turned out especially the clouds.
