Matamanoa Island as seen from Hipstamatic

Cybele and I have just returned from a lovely week long holiday on the Fijian island of Matamanoa.

Like our last holiday, i hardly took any photos. Since doing photography for a living, holidays have been more of an occasion for downtime, away from the camera, laptop, iphone and distractions of twitter, facebook, email, rss feeds and information overload that’s normal life.

But one occasion when the camera came out was at night, to try and capture the night sky.

One lesson i learned is that you really need a rock solid tripod for this sort of thing. A rickety plastic table isn’t ideal.

And that the world spins remarkably quickly. The stars begin to blur after a 30 second exposure.

I’m off on a road trip to Byron Bay today, then off to Fiji to see me sister for New Years.

Updates will be quiet here but I will be twittering.

Hope you’re all enjoying your holidays and good eating.

See you in 2009.

It was lovely, as you’d expect. A proper tropical paradise. We spent most of our time on a resort called Amunuca on Tokoriki island.

Fiji

I took less photos than i expected, the camera really only came out at dawn and dusk.

One casualty of the trip was my fancy phone. It was soaked through after i stupidly took it parasailing and was dunked in the ocean. Annoyingly i still can’t find my old phone, so i’m phoneless.
