Framed Print Sale
A few weeks ago I got some of my favourite prints framed. I've had several prints done in the past but never got around to framing any of them, so I decided now was a good time.
I had some big areas of blank wall space I wanted to fill so I choose three of my large prints. I choose 1 - 20x30in print (of Safety Cove) and 2 - 18x24in prints (of The Nut at Stanley and IR Lake). When I got them home I found I didn't have the space for all three.
Luckily I had an idea. I knew someone was interested in purchasing the "The Nut" image. So I offered it to her and she jumped at the chance to buy it. She took possession of the print on Friday.
This image doesn't do it justice. It really looked fantastic!
These are the over two prints that were framed.

Moonrise over Tasman
You might have noticed that I really like the Tasman Peninsula. I've made two trips down there in the last couple of years, and plan to return again in the future.
This shot was taken earlier this year from the deck of Sea Change at Safety Cove. I was in my room getting ready to go out for dinner and after go on the Port Arthur ghost tour, when my host, Rex Mapley, came knocking on my door. He wanted me to see this great view of the moon rising over Tasman Island. I quickly got my gear together and headed out to try and capture it. I couldn't get everything exposed properly so I decided to take two shots and put them together later. The main part of the image was taken with my Nikon D80, while the moon was shot with my Panasonic FZ30.
This shot is the third incarnation. I did the original combo a while ago but, wasn't completely happy with it. Sometime after that I started to tweak it but still wasn't happy. Then last night I had another look at it and NOW I'm happy with the results.
Enjoy! :)

Freycinet Boats
This is another image that I've reprocessed. I felt the original shot had too much contras. The shadows were closed up and some of the highlights were close to blown. This incarnation has been tone mapped through Photomatix. I think the result is much better than the original.

What's been happening?
It seems that time has gotten away from me in the last few months. I haven't had time to get out and take many new photos. I haven't even had time to keep up to date on the net. It's just a case of life getting in the way of life.
I have been doing a few things during these past months but, I wont divulge everything in one post. I need to keep something to talk about.
I have been doing some product photography as part of my day job. That hasn't been too bad and I have got another job lined up for something similar, not through work. We just have to workout some times and places.
Other than that I've been going through some of my old and not so old photos. I have found a couple shots that I liked but needed re-processing. The results have been quite good.
All of these shots are from my trips to the Tasman Peninsula. The first two were shot on my old Panasonic FZ-30, about 18 months ago, and put through Photomaitx. I'm very pleased with the results.
The third shot was taken with my Nikon D80 earlier this year. The original processing of this shot was a bit flat for colour, so I increased it!
These shots and more can been found on my website www.colbluephotography.com

Round 6 Pennant
Well the final round has come and gone quite some time ago. The club won one
pennant (Div 8), and had two runner-up’s (Div 3 & 7).
It was a fantastic effort by Div 8 to win their pennant, with a play-off
deciding the day.
Division 3 Played Greens Beach, at Prospect Vale for the final round. Both
teams knew they had no chance of winning the pennant this year. That hounor
had already gone to Bridport. The team was Corey deBruyn, Duane Morgan, Paul Martin, Duncan MacFarlane, Matt Millwood, John Murray, Matt Adams and Nic Bauld. The winners were Duane Morgan, Paul Martin, Duncan MacFarlane, Matt Millwood, Matt Adams and Nic Bauld. A big victory in the last round but, too late to change the season.
The other game in Div 3 was Bridport v Exeter. Bridport won 6/1
Division 7 played Tam O'Shanter at Tam O'Shanter. This was a big day for the
team. We held our destiny in our hands, win and win the pennant, loose and most likely loose the pennant to Scottsdale. The team was Colin Butterworth, Steve Lovegrove, Anthony Burrows, Denis Lockwood, Dan Scott, Mitchell Britton-Thomas and Justin Ryan. I was confident in the teams ability to win away from home but we fell at the last hurdle. The winners were Colin Butterworth, Denis Lockwood and Justin Ryan. The team lost two of three play-off's (they are the one's that hurt).
The other game in Div 7 was Mowbray v Scottsdale. Scottsdale won 5/2
Division 8 played Bridport at Bridport. This was a grand final of sorts. They were the only two teams that could really win the pennant. The team was Richard Lawson, Stephen Clarke, Glen Duncan, Leon Towns, Steve Burris, Peter Gardner and Neil Chenhall. It was a close day with the result decided with a play-off. In the end Prospect Vale were victorious 4/3 and clinched the pennant title. The winners were Richard Lawson, Glen Duncan, Peter Gardner and Steve Burris.
The other game in Div 8 was Exeter v Launceston. Exeter won 4/3
The Final Ladders
Div 3
In the end Prospect Vale finished the year in second place behind Bridport. It's not a win but it is a good accomplishment. The team used 14 different players during the course of the season. They were Corey deBruyn, Matt Marston, Colin Butterworth, Richard Lawson, Matt Adams, Nic Bauld, Justin Ryan, Paul Martin, Duane Morgan, Matt Thomas, Steve Lovegrove, John Murray, Duncan MacFarlane, and Matt Millwood. A BIG thanks to everyone who played for the team!
As a side note, there were 6 undefeated players in div 3 for the season. They were Colin Butterworth, Matt Thomas, Steve Lovegrove, John Murray, Duncan MacFarlane and Matt Millwood. That could be the nucleus of a new team!?! ;)
Bridport 5-1 28/14
Prospect Vale 3-3 25/17
Greens Beach 3-3 20/22
Exeter 1-5 11/32
Div 7
So close but so far away! That was our season in a nut shell.
To win the pennant we needed to beat Tam O'Shanter on their home track. Not an easy task. The team had one change from the previous week with Justin Ryan coming in for Pete Gardner. we had a strong team but Tam O'Shanter were just as strong.
It was heart breaking to loose the day 4/3, especially with the amount of play-off's we had. The day was made worse when we finally found out that Scottsdale had beaten Mowbray.
We used 11 players for the season, they were Steve Lovegrove, Anthony Burrows, Adam Pawson, Daniel Scott, Denis Lockwood, John Cullen, Mitchell Britton-Thomas, Richard Fleming, Peter Gardner, Colin Butterworth and Justin Ryan. Thanks for playing guys, maybe we can do one better next year. I think we have a team capable of winning a pennant, we just need to work harder next time.
We had 3 players undefeated in the team, Adam Pawson, John Cullen and Justin Ryan.
Scottsdale 4-2 27/15
Prospect Vale 4-2 26/16
Tam O'Shanter 2-4 18/24
Mowbray 2-4 13/29
Div 8
Div 8 came from nowhere to win their last 4 rounds and to win the pennant this year. They shattered the hopes of several teams on their march to glory, most notably that of Launceston. They struggled to get a team on the field one week, they also struggled to keep the same players in the side each week due to other commitments. However, the end result was positive!
They broke the long streak of years without pennant victory and I hope they can do it again next year.
They used 15 players for the season, they were Don Mackie, Steve Clark, Glen Duncan, Scot Limbrick, Steve Burris, Neil Chenhall, Leon Towns, Glenn Summers, Owen Smith, John Burt, Andy Barnes, Barry Pearn, John Cullen, Richard Lawson and Peter Gardner.
They had 6 players that were undefeated for the season, they were Glen Duncan*, Glenn Summers, Andy Barnes, John Cullen, Richard Lawson and Peter Gardner.
Glen Duncan gets a special mention for winning all 6 of his games for the year. A fantastic achievement!!
