What a lovely winters day in Melbourne, such a shame to be locked away! At least the winter daisies are out to put a smile on our faces.

This photo was taken in 1978 with the help of my dad. It's a bit grainy but it is a time exposure of a boomerang in flight. It was part of my physics option on boomerang flight (which received a prize in the Victorian Schools Science Talent search). It was done by attaching a sparkler to the boomerang, at the centre of rotation (technical stuff) opening the camera shutter and throwing the boomerang in the dark. The result is a trace of the flight path.

Now for the challenge, to bring this 42 years forward to 2020. Step 1 is to recreate this photo with a digital camera.

As an aside, the sports boomerang is the perfect lockdown exercise tool. It is a unique object that you can throw and catch on your own. When you throw it, you are aiming at yourself (which makes the night time photos pretty exciting - there were plenty of times when the sparkler went out mid flight. You were then in the dark, knowing that if you were any good, an invisible boomerang was heading straight at you).

Here is a photo from the past, taken from a very faded poster. Again, it is amazing what Photoshop will do to bring back the contrast and colours. This is the image before and after Photoshop. It is the National Boys Choir 1974 Japanese Tour poster and somewhere hidden away is a young Rusty Bird.

Hi again folks, please feel free to contact me if you have any questions about setting up to effectively to work from home. Apart from my obvious love of photography, I have worked for many years in IT. I had one of IBM's first ever "portable PC's" back in 1991. It was the size and shape of a sewing machine with a small orange monochrome display and a fold down keyboard.. It connected via a 2.4k modem. Yes, that really is 2.4k! Slow dial up internet was 56k and today even through your phone you are probably at 5mb (5mb = 5000k). NBN is now an average of 50mb download speed ( 50 mb = 50,000k). So in practial terms this means today we download at 20,000 times the speed that we did in the 90's. And I bet you sit back and say"this is so slow, why won't it download any faster". Patience grasshopper, :-)

Hey there all you people who are now facing the prospect of working from home. Maybe like me you have been using this sort of technology for decades (longer than I want to admit). But maybe it is a bit new and daunting. Here are some videos I have put together that might help - a few tips on settting up to work at home. Don't be offended if this is a bit simplistic and you are already doing it, but feel free to share it with anyone that you think may benefit from it.
