I'm not sure who put the chair in the lake.. but I'm glad they did, I ended up sitting on it and checking out the universe.. it's always nice to have those moments where you stop and just soak in the experience.

A bit of feedback with AutoAwesome +Vic Gundotra, I'm a Google Trusted Photographer, so I'm working with the Google Business Photos program, doing "Street View" inside businesses.
Part of the process is to upload photos to special folders in Picasa.. the new #autoawesome feature messes with those photos, as they are both HDR and Panoramic..
I'd really like to see a feature where I can turn it off for specific folders, or even better, only turn it on for specific folders. Rather than having it turned on for 100% of photos.
It would be really nice to be able to separate the whole Google+ photos and Google Business Photos folders.
I'm loving the #newgoogleplus over all though, finding it far more engaging!

The Ultimate Show on Earth
It's when mother nature flaunts its beauty that man-made art can never clone!

Welcome to the NEW Flickr
Well it seems that +Yahoo! was not done being in the headlines after this mornings announcement that it was going to acquire the popular blogging website Tumblr for 1.1 billion. Today in a press conference, Yahoo announced the NEW Flickr. Here are the three biggest changes...
- 1TB of storage for all accounts (including the Free accounts)
- You can now upload full resolution photos
- More access to Flickr to uploaded from any mobile device
The service also got a pretty significant face-lift So, the question remains...
Is this enough for you to give Flickr a try (or retry for most of us)?

Just watching the Google I/O.. saw the announcement of the Googleised Samsung Galaxy S4.. does anyone know if that ROM will be available to install on regular Samsung Galaxy S4 units?

Well it's Goodbye Apple and hello #Android for me.. I've just cancelled my iPhone 5 contract with +Telstra and ordered the Samsung Galaxy S4.. many many reasons for the move, I'm still pretty happy with the iPhone, but it is just too limiting in many ways!
I went with the Samsung Galaxy S4 for the following reasons:
- interchangeable battery
- great camera
- expandable storage
- Android

Hey #Google I'm considering trying out a different #android ROM like Cyanogenmod on my Samsung Galaxy TAB 8.9 (GT-P730T), jus wondering if anyone knows if I'll break things by using the ROM for the GT-P7300?
Or if anyone has any tips at all?

It's about time I shared my inspiration circle again.. this is a circle of people who inspire me on a regular basis.. I've just had a bit of a clean out and added some new people into it.
Not all are photographers, and some are photographers, but inspire me in other ways, like business. A total of 43 people who inspire me in some way or another!
Feel free to share this circle around too.

Cold front moves across Fremantle, Western Australia.

It was a pretty average storm tonight, nothing over the top, although I managed to get 2 photos that I am happy with.. this is one of them.

Sometimes I find the need to temporarily escape "reality", recharge my batteries and feed my creativity. I always find what I'm looking for when I head to the ocean, I could sit there for hours and hours watching the waves roll in.
No matter what's going on in my life, I can guarantee that a stroll on the beach with or without my camera will make me temporarily forget my woes!
What is it that works for you? Do you feel the same draw to the ocean or is it something else?

It's funny, I was a bit upset when Google announced they were going to discontinue their Google IG homepage product, but I've found that I've not actually even looked at that tab in about a month now.
Google+ has quite readily replaced that tab for me. Google Reader on the other hand.. I've found Feedly to be a worthy replacement for most of my blog reading though.
I love other content aggregator programs like Zite and News360.
What tools do you use on a daily basis for content consumption and business?

A nice video overview of Google's new Hangouts
I don't just mean the video chat with 9 people that you're used to--Hangouts has been updated to:
-- facilitate text chatting (you don't have to video chat if you don't want to)
-- allow you to text chat, share photos, and video chat with 1 or multiple people across many different platforms (including mobile devices).
If you want to learn more, Google have a nice, newly updated, easy-to-navigate helps section for Hangouts:
https://support.google.com/hangouts/
If you prefer to read instead of watch, here's the article that accompanies the below video:

I've got to say, I love the #newgoogleplus , it's brilliant. The more I use it the more I like it too.. has anyone else found their engagement levels going up too?

Huge Announcement.. Bec, Ana and myself are leaving Perth!
We're leaving Perth to move to the Busselton / Dunsborough area as soon as we can find a house. It's been a long time coming and we're finally doing it for real, I was in Busselton looking at houses yesterday, as well as working in Margaret River.
We're both really looking forward to the move, but will definitely miss our Perth friends! I'll be up on a regular basis to service my clients and our friends are more than welcome to come down and stay with us any time!

This is a 24 image stitch of the cold front approaching Yallingup yesterday afternoon, there was a heap of lightning and hail in it!
I love watching these storms approach, I was a bit late to see the 10 or more tornados in the area unfortunately.

Been lurking for awhile, watching the type of photography that gets shared by the group, definitely finding some of it inspiring!

At what point does a photo stop being a photo? This is a combination of 25 photos that I've taken, 100% photographic in content, but it doesn't look like a traditional photograph..

I dont usually agree with or share the authors material, but in this case he is right.. Except when he starts talking about "outing" people who start using Adobe's products again.

Thank you so much for all the birthday wishes.. been a great day so far, had lunch with Bruce Willis aka David Vicary and now I'm chilling with my girls for the afternoon while I cook up a roast dinner for my family and friends.

I love the reflection on the face of the wave that happens early in the morning before the sun rises.

I've been trying to ages to get a decent panning shot of either a surfer or a body boarder shooting through the wave.. I managed to capture 2 images recently that are along those lines, but I've still not nailed it.. I'll keep trying :)
