Photography field day improves Clara's photography

Hi budding photographers out there
Chris -      Yes I know,  I focused on the background
instead of on you. 


A beautiful day of 'lightwriting' on a field trip at Bradley's Head, Mosman, Australia, with photographer Christopher Maait - 0413 044 075 - www.cmphoto.com.au.  Thanks Chris for your expertise and guidance - and in helping me to feel confident and aware re taking better photos;  (as I hope you will agree from viewing the video.) 
Cheers Clara

Two Up Traditionally played on ANZAC Day














Hi R
Anzac Day is a national day of remembrance in Australia and New Zealand, and is commemorated by both countries on 25 April every year to honour members of the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC) who fought at Gallipoli in Turkey during World War I. It now more broadly commemorates all those who died and served in military operations for their countries.


Two-up is a traditional Australian gambling game, involving throwing two or three coins into the air. Players gamble on whether the coins will fall with both (obverse) heads up, both (reverse) tails up, or with one coin a head, and one a tail (known as 'Odds'). It is traditionally played on ANZAC Day in pubs and clubs throughout Australia, in part to mark a shared experience with Diggers through the ages.
It was banned by the govt due to marital problems when  money was gambled rather than brought home.



A few images from the local RSl Club - interpreted - Mosman Returned Servicemans Club - a great place, overlooking the harbour, and where young people gather for this event. Usually it is quiet, too quiet lately; one of my favourite places to meet friends.
Cheers Clara
