Photos from Fiji, NZ, Australia, Indonesia & Malaysia~

Hi sirs!~

It's been a while since I've visited good old mapcore. Anyway, I've been travelling quite a bit lately so I thought I could post some photos here. I'm more into photography than mapping these days. I hope they will function as a source of inspiration to some.

Here we go:

Thanks sirs!

I literally took thousands of photos and hundreds of them failed due to poor camera settings or a dirty lens. It's just damn hard to have the right settings at the right moment so I'm still learning the basics. Raw is a life savior though -- something that took way too long for me to realize.

On a side note, it's incredible how so many animals are just chilling and posing for you in Australia. I had no luck with kangaroos though.

I absolutely love kangaroo meat. Less fat, more protein; it's like the best meat ever! I do have some shots of kangaroos, but they are blurry and boring.

Thanks. Well I spent 5 months in Australia, 4 months living in Sydney, so I had time to explore. I can post a photo of the opera house if you want

I visited the following places: Sydney, Blue Mountains, Byron Bay, Nimbin, Brisbane, Rainbow Beach, Fraser Island, Noosa, Airlie Beach, Whitsundays, Cairns, Port Douglas (Yawn), Cape Tribulation, Great Barrier Reef, Melbourne, Great Ocean Road, Adelaide, Kangaroo Island, Alice Springs, Uluru, King's Canyon, Kata Tjuta, Perth, Rottnest Island, Fremantle, and some random places near Sydney.

Sigh, I wish I could get kangaroo meat on a regular basis again.

Oh I forgot Mission Beach and Dunk Island. Yeah, Whitsundays was nice, but it was a bit of a disappointment after Fiji. It wasn't as tropical as I expected and the islands were relatively barren. Whithaven beach was the highlight. I did however have some cool close encounters with giant turtles. I even touched one underwater!
