Hey, after witnessing Australia beat Japan 2-1 awhile ago I thought to myself after arriving home: what better way to celebrate than get out the tripod and camera and take photos? These are the results. All taken on my street, so you will now have enough information to find me/and or kill me. Jamie, I'm onto you!

EDIT: Okay it seems to be working now! CLICK THOSE IMAGES OR SQUINT!

CLICK ON THE PHOTOS TO ENLARGE THEM! (If imgbay continues to not work I'll upload them on photograph. Some you might want to zoom in for the best effect. Or at least make them larger than they are here on GS! You could always cheat and save them. If you want the original photos without the Foolz mark PM me. Except for Scorpins_Tiger. He can just remove it himself and add in his own. IN THE MEAN TIME THEY CAN BE VIEWED HERE AT A SLIGHTLY LARGER RESOLUTION! Hopefully bayimg is back soon. Stupid pirates.

A street sign

This was a pain in the arse to focus. Not only was it dark but the light was shining in through the viewfinder. This was the sharpest I could come up with, and I am now legally blind in one of my eyes.

My corner. That's the family car conveniently creating the light! Yeah, kinda hard to use any random car driving past when you've got to expose the photo for 10 seconds!

The same phot you say? Nay! The car is in a slightly differnet position. Fog!!!!

I wonder if they care that I photographed their car. Well, even if they do they aren't getting any royalties.

My front fence and somebody else's. I'll leave it to your imagination and non-gender specific intution to figure which. For the record if you go into the wrong house and kill the wrong person I cannot be held legally responsible. I hope.

No, it's not the same photo! When I was looking through them and I saw the green on the right I nearly had a heart attack. I need to go back out there and devote a whole series to that poisoned ivy. It'll be my revenge for a certin itchy Christmas day incident.

The person who owned that garage used to keep cIassic cars in it. It probably won't be long before it's puled down and turned into a generic two story building as well. Which reminds me, I need to go and photograph Jaques...

That didn't stop a single car from driving down there, though. And their stupidity was chronicled for the ages. I'm too nice to show it on here, though! Well, maybe if there's a part 2...

My block and more. And there's that mysterious car again.

The roof of somebody's house. Possibly mine.

Rich--err, my block isn't racist, so here's the black and white verson.

My corner. Clearly the road is closed! You can even see t from here.

Somebody's fence again, and no the shadow of the tripod and camera wasn't an accident. Or at least that's what I'll say.

No, it's not an ocopus.

Yes, it is an octopus.

This was the first large truck that's gone past in years. In fact my mother was remarking on the lack of trucks in recent years just moment before it drove past.

Just to prove once and for all that we have no problem with coloured octopii.

Well that's all of them for now. If you liked them I can post more from this particular excursion.

P.S. Michael Bay ate my baby.

Awesome effect you managed to get on the second last one there. And that is a very nice tree.

I can't see the Octopus! Looks like the light was just right for those photos.

COD4_Shinedown:
It's one of my favourites too! The truck was coming as I was going inside so I just plonked the tripod down altered the settings slightly and hoped I'd framed it somewhat nicely! The accidental ones are always some of the best.

Mattyrock:
Thank you very much!

bacchus2:
You can't go wrong with fog and stree lights!

Turbo-Evil:
Your wish is my command! There will be aa part 2. Hurrah!

doc18:
You can join Darth_Homer who has been following me around and photographing me while I take photos.

Nice pics you got there.
Posted Jul 6, 2009 6:32 am PT
They remind me of Halloween. Mainly because all of them have an orange look to them. I like them all alot. It would be cool to use as a desktop background.
Posted Jul 6, 2009 7:36 am PT
I have two thoughts. First, I wish my celebrations were as productive as yours. Second, you've got a good eye. Those are great pictures.
Posted Jul 6, 2009 10:07 am PT
some fine, fine photos you got there
Posted Jul 6, 2009 1:13 pm PT
Those are awesome lighting effects you got. I especially love the last two. Very dramatic

david_ick:
Thanks! aaronmullan:
Uh oh, those stalkers might be more dangerous than previously expected! Or at the very least more costumed.

grigjd3:
Next time you celebrate you will have to make some beer instead of drinking it, and when you normally make beer drink it... And thanks!

floristandbicyc:
A photo of half a possum might count as surreal...If the rest of the photo was cropped.

selbie:
Thanks! I really like the tree as well. There's many differerent versions and my favourite of them changes regularly. xD

Yay for photography. Another one of the many hats that I've worn over the years. I do bird pictures, mostly. The octopus is outstanding, in my opinion. You should submit it somewhere.
Posted Jul 6, 2009 9:10 pm PT
Why are the photos so damn dark??? And do you have an octopus fetish?
Posted Jul 6, 2009 10:37 pm PT
the pics after the classic-car-garage-to-be-demolished-to-make-place-for-generic-two-storey-building wont load!! why wont they load???? must....see....octopus...
Posted Jul 7, 2009 3:05 am PT
by the way did u mean to say stalk Be or stalk Me?
Posted Jul 7, 2009 3:12 am PT
mprezzy:
It's probably technically the best of the lot IMO. I was very surprsied after I took it at how it came out. It's definitely one of my favourites.

paul939:
Because it was night time! And maybe...

@parthohaque:
Try the VGPress link. If that doesn't work I'll give you the direct links to them. Stalk me...typos ftw!
Posted Jul 7, 2009 3:27 am PT
mate i know amazing is an amazingly over used word but the last 2 are just that....amazing!

btw the pic of your corner...is that light from an alien spaceship? or an overexposed moon?
Posted Jul 7, 2009 8:21 am PT
Those are some awesome pics!
Posted Jul 7, 2009 10:20 am PT
Parthohaque:
Thanks mate!

b3yond_stupidity:
Glad you like them.
Posted Jul 7, 2009 8:02 pm PT
They are really good pics, all high quality too! Also, love the truck one, had to have great timing for that
Posted Jul 8, 2009 12:56 am PT
daqua_99:
Thanks! And a little luck too.
Posted Jul 8, 2009 8:25 pm PT
New Zealand gets only roads of gravel where people ride their mules. The second-to-last picture actually features lasers, for people are coming for you.
Posted Jul 10, 2009 10:08 pm PT
great photos, especially the truck one!
Posted Jul 11, 2009 2:28 am PT
kingkilla3:
I hid behind the camera, and the lens deflectd the lasers away.

jjr10:
Thanks! Thankfully it didn't kill me.
Posted Jul 11, 2009 8:53 pm PT
Where the hell do you live, Amityville?
Posted Aug 15, 2009 12:15 am PT
@AKayy_47
Despite the lack of the kangaroos it's actually Australia!
Posted Aug 22, 2009 7:54 pm PT
You have some really nice photos -- the poison ivy looked so awesome
