Getting old is a lot of fun. A lot of fun if you are physically active. A lot of fun if you are mentally active. These two attributes work in tandem to keep one young. Yossarian would be proud of that!
This week is NSW Seniors' Week and I have been celebrating/participating for two weeks already. Where are the rest of you?

The Museum of Contemporary Art (MCA) down at Circular Quay, and the Australian Centre for Photography (ACP) up here in Paddington, have been running three parallel photography workshops for seniors over three weeks, four hours each workshop. This week is the final workshop, where they walk us through Photoshop. Friday coming is our exhibition at the MCA. We are encouraged to submit 5 shots. I have shown you some of mine over the last few days.
The top shot today is panning with a slow shutter speed, and narrow aperture. My stats were: F18, 1/15, ISO100, 55mm. The jogging figure should have been frozen ... but hey ...
Tom is our tutor from the ACP, and Jill is one of the other participants. Each workshop has 10 seniors, so 30 of us all told.

Love these, Julie!
Great idea, Senior's Week! Worth extending for two or three weeks, maybe even a month!
Every week is Seniors' Week up here in Newcastle!
Love the top one, the blurred colours are wonderful. Can't wait to retire. Keep seeing things I want to do - all of which are during the day. Trouble is, once I do retire I probably won't have the money to do them.
Yes, you do have the money to do them. Except it is tied up in a house! I do not have a house, I opted for the money instead.
Great panning shot Julie. I must give this technique a try.
Happy seniors week - and I do like the bottom portrait, caught mid-sentence.
It is not hard to catch Tom mid-sentence, Peter!
The top shot is very creative. I like the effect. I went to the exhibition for that group at the MCA last year after our lunch with Jo and Pete. I'm very interested in which one of yours gets selected.
By the way, I've posted your Royal.
Some great shots Julie!!! Excellent portraits! I hope these seniors get to see them!!!
