Today this blog expands!
Posted by: | Comments… Much to everyone’s dismay *grins*.
In the interest of narrowing the amount of blogs that I have, and spreading everything everywhere… I have decided to shut down my old Personal Blog (Secluded Habitat) and being posting all my random thoughts here. For some time I ‘kinda’ had this intention but never really stuck to it and ended up posting personal stuff on both but today it is decided.
So this should mean that I should be able to begin posting more regular updates here at Eccentric Reality.

Technical Problems Resolved
Posted by: | CommentsHi Everyone,
Some of you (those using Internet Explorer) may have had issues loading my blog since mid last week.
For this I apologise, once it was brought to my attention I spent many hours trying to diagnose it and finally found the issue.
Hope to have a new post up soon now too

A huge week ahead!
Posted by: | CommentsThis week is going to be a big one, thanks to Canon Australia’s efforts I was able to spend last weekend trying out a Canon EOS 50D while I await the arrival of mine. The reason being is that I have enrolled in a photography course with Sydney Community College that starts this week and I needed to get myself familiar with the camera that I would be using.
I have to say that I am really getting into photography and I hope that I will gain some (much needed) skills from the course which runs over seven weeks (a few hours a week). I have tried to read a photography book but found the language to be just as confuzzling as it was before I began reading so perhaps I can revisit that throughout the course.
Keep your eyes peeled, I hope to have my first thoughts of the course up on Thursday but it is my birthday on Wednesday so I am pretty busy over the next few days (but will try my best).

Eccentric Reality Gallery – Online
Posted by: | CommentsHowdy again everyone,
I have spent a lot of the last 48 hours working on getting my new gallery all set up customising the SmugMug templates, in turn I have some exciting news. The Eccentric Reality Gallery & Portfolio is now online using SmugMug and ready for everyone to have a look. I have even got a gallery up which has some photos from Taronga Zoo in Sydney that you might enjoy (and that are displaying in the below slideshow.
I really would welcome any feedback about the design, I have tried to match it as closely as possible to this (there are some very minor differences).
Let me know if you have any thoughts (and I welcome any critisism in the gallery as well, you can easily leave comments there too ).

Welcome to Eccentric Reality
Posted by: | Comments
Welcome one and all to my new blog, Eccentric Reality. For a long time I had an interest in photography that I was not able to pursue.
After blogging on SecludedHabitat.com for a little over 12 months, I was contacted out of the blue by Canon Australia who had recently begun the Blogger Product Review Program. The general idea behind the program is to allow selected Australian bloggers to trial and review Canon products.
Canon proceeded to lend me an EOS 1000D Digital SLR camera. Very early on in the three months that I had the camera, I fell in love. I discovered my passion for photography and the wonder of having a creative outlet in which I could express myself.
Out of all this, Eccentric Reality was born. I thought that using photography I could essentially capture the eccentric reality that is any picture perfect moment.
Sadly, in the very near future the Canon camera will be on its way back. Until I can figure out how I will be getting a camera of my very own, I will use this blog to go through my experiences thus far and showcase some of my early photos.
