This year has seen me significantly wind back my photographic activities as I found myself spread across too many interests.

The year was kicked off by a trip along the upper Huon River via Judbury. This is rapidly becoming a tradition.

February was a flurry of activity with the Hobart Regatta and Wooden Boat Festival. This was followed by visiting Bonorong Park in March and a trip to Bruny Island to act as a tourist guide.

April saw the Autumn Festival in New Norfolk, and I got interested in taking long exposure photos of planes at night. Sometimes the photos didn’t come out as I wanted. This was also the first year that I had attended an ANZAC Day march and service.

I visited Bonorong Park again, but it took until June to get the photos up. I finally managed to get a good photo of the Russell Falls at Mt field and reflected on a conversation I had about whether a photo location causes IP infringement.

All of this though paled in comparison to highlight of the year – a 2 week trip to Taiwan. I took heaps of photos but they were mainly on my iPhone as I quickly found the heat of summer to hot to carry around photo gear. I did however get some nice photos of sunsets and light domes.

After getting back, I slowed down a lot. With all the new photos, I was having trouble organising them on my iDevices, so optimised my Aperture library for iDevices.

There have been a couple of things I have been to, including the RTBG Spring Festival and a trip to Lake Pedder that took me past the Sentinel Ranges, but some of the other photos I just haven’t had time to upload.

So that was the year that was. Happy Christmas and a safe new year to all, and I’ll catch you next year.
