Paid users, please update by going to http://gpb.minimali.se/google+blog/YourTransactionId/ to download. Where 'YourTransactionId' is the number emailed to you.

Update Details

- Removed flagging of current running import as it was causing problems with long running tasks

If Trees Could Talk

If Trees Could Talk

Another interesting tree found in the gardens on our walk to shoot the harbour bridge. I'm sure plenty of people have sat beneath it to enjoy the shade that it gives. Luckily the man that was there as we arrived moved so that I was able to capture this shot.

Another Day At The Beach

Another Day At The Beach

The weather was a bit touch and go on this afternoon at Bronte beach, but all these people at the beach didn't seem to care. Those clouds would soon bring some showers though.

Sails In The Sky

Sails In The Sky

A different perspective of the opera house. It was being lit up by an outdoor opera event from just across the bay.

Puddles Of Reflection

Somewhere half way between Bronte and Bondi beaches in Sydney. This was around the large cliff face seen in some of my previous photos.

The End Of The Rainbow

The End Of The Rainbow

As we neared bondi a storm was passing over, luckily it didn't bring much rain with it as the 400+ photographers would likely be heard screaming for miles. What it did bring though was this beautiful rainbow.

Sit Back And Relax

Sit Back And Relax

A couple of the many seats strewn across Sydney. There are plenty of places to just sit back and watch the day go by.

The Overhang

The Overhang

I was quite excited to find this large overhang down under a piece of the headland just before Bondi. If there was more time it would have been the perfect place to sit back and relax for a while.

It begins at Bronte

This was one of my first shots from where the record breaking photo walk commenced. After a quick group photo (at least quick to us as we were running a little late), I set off down to the rocks where I felt most comfortable.

The Harbour Bridge

The Harbour Bridge

Looking across at the harbour bridge from across the bay I could see some people climbing up doing one of the skywalk tours at sunset. Whilst it would be fun to do, I was more than happy to be sitting back taking photos.

The Golden Arches (Not McDonalds!)

The Golden Arches (Not McDonalds!)

There was something about this location that really stood out as I was walking past it. The way the tree was lit up was part of it, but also the colourful lighting of the windows made it impossible to walk by without taking a photo.

  I can't remember exactly what this building is, but they had some kind of exhibition inside it.

The Rush

The Rush

I was very close to getting wet with the sudden influx of waves over these rocks. The formations around the cliffs on the coastline look amazing.

Hopefully we can head back there one day to explore them some more.

Take A Seat

2013-03-27 11:34:18.825000

Take A Seat

An afternoon stroll through Sydney led us to this tree. I thought it looked great how it just stretches out over the chair, providing some much needed shade in that area.

Rocks, Rocks and more Rocks

Another shot taken on the record breaking photo walk from Bronte Beach to Bondi.   Not many people went this far off the track but seeing formations like this I was glad that we did.

The House Across From The Opera

2013-03-25 13:41:46.743000

The House Across From The Opera

The Sydney Opera house is one of the best known landmarks in Australia and yet on this night the focus shifted toward the other side of the harbour, where an outdoor opera performance was taking place.  I'm not sure if this is the traditional lighting on the sails, but it was cut short due to the start of the show on our side of the water, much to the dismay of +Colby Brown as he was trying to get his final shots of the opera house sorted (after waiting a good few minutes for the water police to turn off their lights).  

This was taken the day before the record breaking photo walk hosted by +Colby Brown and +Michael Sutton. Congratulations on organising a great event - I can't wait for the next one.

Facebook mistakingly blocking some goo.gl URLs

After looking into a support ticket for one of our +Fotostat users, it was discovered that Facebook seems to be incorrectly blocking some shortened URLs.

As many people may know, URL shorteners are often used by those with malicious intent to obscure the destination site, so Facebook blocking some of these URLs is not a bad idea. Unfortunately, this block is NOT case sensitive, and therefore will blacklist a URL of goo.gl/TEST even if goo.gl/test is the intended recipient of the block.

So if you find you are unable to post a certain shortened URL to Facebook, simply run it through the shortener again, or share the full link.

Growing Up Pt 2

My little girl is usually quite camera shy, though during this shoot she was quite happy to really pose for a few shots. This is one of her own poses, as most would know it is next to impossible to force a set pose on a 3 year old!

Growing up

2013-03-06 12:12:43.050000

Growing up

A couple of weeks ago my son celebrated his second birthday. It's such an exciting age as this is the time where our daughter really started to share her personality.

It's so crazy to me how quickly time passes once you have children. Every week brings a new change, a new adventure and often they can be somewhat surprising.  

The baby of the house is no longer a baby, but I am very excited to see what lies ahead for our son.

Goodbye Summer

2013-03-05 15:42:24.801000

Goodbye Summer

It's officialy autumn here in Australia and I can't help but think summer just decided to not turn up this year. We've had the crazy tropical storms that are to be expected, but not much of the hot sunny beach weather that we have become accustomed to!

  Personally, I would like a refund. Here's hoping autumn is a little more rewarding. This shot was taken last year.  

First test of the Fotostat Lightroom plugin!

Reflections of a war photographer

Reflections of a war photographer

I'm a big fan of TED talks and was surprised I hadn't come across this one before by photo journalist James Nachtwey. The way he speaks of his experiences shows that he cares deeply for the regions in which he takes the photos and for humanity in general.

Well worth the watch.
