For the last six months I’ve been stuck in a photographic rut with no serious photography projects underway. Although I still carry my camera and take photographs for the blog the passion, drive and inspiration got lost along the way. A cloud seemed to descend on me and I’ve had my head in the clouds [...]
We’ve been living through a patch of weather that’s given us dreary days which has put my photographic inspiration in a deep dark cloud. But yesterday the clouds finally parted and it was fun to get back in harness whilst out walking the dogs. Although the bush is still ravaged by the storms the forest [...]
Our veranda is ablaze with Spring colour which gives an uplifting note to the otherwise large green landscape surrounding the house. The more I look at the cheery blooms the more intrigued I am by the shapes, sizes and textures of tulips which serve to boost their beauty. It’s too late for this year but [...]
I know, the blog has changed again. It’s hard to stop myself sometimes. This time it’s just a spring clean and software upgrade. The previous home page was just too labour intensive to keep updating the photography gallery regularly so I’ve reverted to an automatic rotation of most recent posts instead. I’ve added a new [...]
A bit like a repetitive dream that has the same ending, I have multiple conversations with friends and colleagues about why I blog and tweet. For people who don’t blog or read blogs they just don’t get the whole online community thing. I’ve “met” some truly inspiring people on-line and from time to time have [...]
I can’t help but keep looking at the photographs of the snow to remind myself that we were indeed bathed in white stuff. It was a moment of excitement that’s now replaced with an feeling of being overwhelmed by runaway grass and bolting weeds as the sun is warming things up and signs of Spring [...]
Cameras are a bit of a bone of contention in our household since I became more seriously interested in photography. Nevertheless I needed models for one of my assignments on Environmental Portraits with a deadline looming. I visualised a portrait of “Man and His Dogs” but Little Basset was determined to ruin that possibility! Dispensing [...]
As if the nerves weren’t bad enough I found myself in a photography studio yesterday flying solo with equipment I couldn’t get to work. My tutor was unable to drop everything and run to help me so my bulging file of ideas went completely out of the window as plan B flew in. Thankfully my [...]
My photographic nerves have been a jangle all week. Today is assignment day – flying solo in the photographic studio. Having press ganged a couple of friends into being my models it’s time to do or die. I don’t know who is more nervous – me or them. We had a pre-shoot conference by skype [...]
Just as the flash of the studio lights went off taking this photograph I had a huge ah-ha moment in my head. Yes, this Saturday I came another step closer to understanding why I’ve struggled so much with my photography class this year. Although I was the photographer of this shot there was an “art [...]
