Simon and I found outselves out and about today - got up around Maitland and visited a few historic Churches for photos, and zipped out to Walka Water works for a few more pics.

To start, some MINI photos (Simon has more to add later)

ScottyB · Aug 22nd, 2005, 10:25 AM

And onto the landscape/architechture stuff...

First up - a little old wedding ceremony pagoda. The tiles around it are all etched with the names of people past married there

Church at Maitland

Duckie

Out the back of Walka Water Works...

Water storage at Walka. Lovely colour. Apparently there are 'gold fish' swimming in there somewhere. Goldfish with three eyes.

Water Works pump chimney

Full view of pump house and chimney stack

Disused coal storage houses

And finally, onto another Church for a few quick pics.

Thanks to Simon for being the tour guide for the day. Its a great trip, and brill if you are into sightseeing - also some great roads out the back.

And thanks to Navman for getting me home

Cheers,
Scotty

Great shots Scotty

ScottyB · Aug 22nd, 2005, 10:28 AM

Couple extra pics worth a mention

1. MINI train rides

2. Walka Water Works signage

3. Simon coaxing the ducks out of the rubbish

4. Geese

5. EVIL geese. All they did was attack me as I tried to get pics! And then they attacked the ducks while I wasnt getting pics!

very cool Scotty.

have you tried perspective correction in photoshop?
this one would looks heaps better with it I reckon, distort it so the sides are parallel and the chimney doesn't taper off.

(you can also do it with a tilt-shift lens if you're feeling rich

)

hehe cool. Hadn't tried that before. Just had a play...

Still a bit of taper from the chimney tho - and if it goes any further, the building sides are outward perspective... will play more!

MickyD · Aug 22nd, 2005, 11:15 AM

yeah, that's it, I reckon that looks better. I think the remaining curvature in the chimney might be caused by barrel distortion, which is much harder to correct. (either that or the chimney's wonky

MiniMinor · Aug 22nd, 2005, 11:46 AM

Excellent pics as always Scotty..

Wouldn't want to be drinking that water tho..

Phantom · Aug 22nd, 2005, 04:08 PM

MiniMiL · Aug 23rd, 2005, 01:10 AM

Looks like you guys had a fun day.

Simon, you've got to watch out for those geese, they're the devil!

dStrom · Aug 23rd, 2005, 03:18 AM

Anyhow had a great day out, always a pleasure to catch up Scotty, pics are way

I am not going to double up with my pics so I shall just post a couple

Firstly, I believe that I can be the envy of all as I unveil my very own Trunk Monkey

This is what happens when someone suggests that they could fit into the boot of a Cabrio, he really did do it

meinamini · Aug 24th, 2005, 12:11 AM

Here are a quick coupla snaps from St Peters church East Maitland.

The stone work at this church is amazing!

The detail is awesome.

Rememmber, nothing can't be fixed with percussive maintenance. (i.e. Hitting it

)

Also, they had a segment on the NBN news last night about walka, how it should be more of a museum, blah blah blah

meinamini · Aug 24th, 2005, 01:01 AM

Thank you Jonathon

I did what you should never do

I loaned my laptop

to my parents

I think they may have dropped it

Apparently I shall get it back today.
