Taken on vacation trips

Roof Of The Citadel

Roof Of The Citadel
I am back from the UK… and finally an update here (more to come when I finally get out to take pictures after the completion of my exams next week) 🙂

As mentioned previously, the only camera that I brought along for this UK trip was the little 2-megapixel one in my mobile phone. Quality wise, of course that camera can never compare to the even the Powershot G3 I was using earlier on. However, I am still amazed with what I can get from such a tiny little camera given the right lighting conditions. The above was taken at Carlisle railway station (known otherwise as the Citadel station) in transit from Glasgow to Manchester. Apart from the resize and a little saturation boost, the image was pretty what I got out of the camera.

Two Rocks

Digging deep into the archives as I update this photoblog sporadically till I finish my exams (in 17 days’ time!)…

This is a wider view of the “face-rock” (seagull’s nest included) featured in my previous post. I had some trouble recalling the name of the place after visiting it in 2003. Dad had told me that it was called Two Rocks but a search on Google in the past found no information on this landmark except descriptions of a region in Western Australia of the same name. I wasn’t fully convinced of the Two Rocks name till I finally found confirmation here.

Face Off

Face Off
This was taken along one of the beaches of Western Australia as my dad and I headed north of Perth (towards the Pinnacles Desert) during our trip there in November 2003. The face-like shape of the rock was already interesting on its own right. Little did we realise that the “hair” was home to a nest of seagulls! I caught this shot of one of the gulls “facing-off” with the rock, a big print of which now hangs decorating the wall in my bedroom 🙂

Update 25 Sep 2007: This picture has been entered in the latest Photo Friday Challenge titled “The Beach”. Please vote for me if you like this shot 🙂
