Daily photo challenge - Week 27 is complete

Another week, another 8 pics.
(Yup - I'm cheating and posting an extra pic for July 5)

It was an action packed week at home and at work
and thankfully work provided me with 
a rather unique photo for my blog
(see July 2).

I also took the time to play with white balance and ISO a bit more
- knowledge is a wonderful thing!!!

(my goodness these guys are ugly!)



6.7.12 - Orchid beauty in our backyard
(I love playing with ISO levels!)



5.7.12 - Golden light

This is the Mt Eden Pacific Islanders Presbyterian Church. 
It's a building that has fascinated me for awhile now 
so I just had to stop and take some pics.
I couldn't decide on which is my favourite....so I'm cheating and posting two.



5.7.12 - Locked



4.7.12 - Horsey ride before bedtime



3.7.12 - Torrential
The view from my office window 
as a storm was brewing over Auckland



2.7.12 - On the job

I'm usually office bound, but today I got to head out and cover some breaking news!
I loved it!
My photos were used on aucklandnow.co.nz 
and on the front page of the Central Leader.

    1. Cheers! I have the dog to thank for alerting me to the backyard visitor. The dog was bouncing all over the backyard with excitement.
