This is a small dam up on the Sunshine Coast about an hours drive or so from here.

Do you actually have a job and work or just drive around taking all these wonderful shots of the area and animals? If just the photos, how do I get there?

In the mornings til about 3pm I work as a 'Set' (think television, corporate, or theatrical sets) carpenter ... then I come home and help my wife with our web design company. Sometimes I get a day off and there's always weekends. So, with google, google earth, street mapping, my car, and/or my bikes, I go places with my camera

Interesting set MA. I'm really digging the first one.

That first image is spectacular! The composition, the shapes and texture of the water, the colours. Wow! I do have one question, though. Were you using a really long lens to get the image or were you standing in the water?

Thank you Doug. I was standing in the same spot for all those shots. 100-400mm lens for that 1st one
