HA HA well Let there be light indeed. I love light in relation to photography. Here is a shot I grabbed at the Darwin Festival 2013 in August. These ladies serenely moved to music in a shallow lake whilst various patterned light forms danced on their dresses and parasols. The whole thing did not do … Continue reading Weekly Photo Challenge: Let There Be Light!

I spotted this opportunity whilst at the V8 Supercars after race concert. I was in the mosh pit, I think the band on stage was Art V Science. Continue reading Weekly Photo Challenge: Unusual POV (take 2)
I love grubbing in the undergrowth or looking for that interesting shot. Since thinking about this topic I realise I have been concentrating on that classic shot and a lot of my Photo’s are pretty much run of the mill cliched efforts. Well I intend to get back to my real self. Here are a few different sort of POV shots to begin with..
I will try to post each day.
Warning this next picture could be distressing to some. Continue reading “Weekly Photo Challenge: An Unusual POV”
Sea part 2: The sea means change to me, a visit to the same place at a different time of the day or night will reveal a whole new experience. Continue reading Weekly Photo Challenge: Sea
Darwin CBD is surrounded by the sea. The tropical warm waters boast huge tides that rise and fall by 7 meters (21 foot). The mangroves are inundated or left high and dry!
The sea has always been near to me, when I lived in England it was a 30 minute drive away. I love to travel, to be on the move, over the next hill around the next bend. The sea however, has the greatest draw-card, the distant horizon and what may lie beyond? Great explorers were drawn to this, possibly drawn to their demise or rewarded experiences surpassing their wildest imagination.
I have not posted for a few weeks as I have not been feeling too well, but I noticed the challenge is all about “focus”. I also noticed the weekly writing challenge and thought I would combine both in this post, just for a bit of fun.
I love the way selecting “focus” or to be more precise, “depth of field” really distinguishes a great shot from a mediocre one. Photography is really interesting, it requires technical knowledge/understanding, photography also requires an artistic element, an eye for the scene. I may be sticking my neck out here but I believe there are not many hobbies/professions that combine technical and artistic traits or skills, the rigidness and rules of physics are normally in opposition to the avant-garde freedom of thought philosophy of true artistry. Sure an artistic photographer can learn the technical knowledge to produce some great artistic work and a more technically driven person knows how to set up and assess the situation light-wise and camera-wise and can develop a surrogate artistic eye, but it takes a person naturally possessing both elements to really produce captivating and stunning work. I do not think for one minute that my photography is particularly captivating and stunning with regards to technique and artistry but I still have fun trying to get there. Anyway enough waffle here are the pics…
The notion of Polyamory appeals to me, the compromises and intricacies of such a vibrant and complex relationship involving three people intrigues me. The below excerpt from Wikipedia describes Polyamory as: “The skills and attitudes needed to manage polyamorous relationships add challenges that are not often found in the traditional “dating-and-marriage” model of long-term relationships. … Continue reading Weekly photo challenge: Forshadow
Here is an artistic rendition of a performer, quite possibly playing a rendition of a classical masterpiece. Maybe you could imagine this hanging in some stately mansion in England. The attached tale for the tourists would be of the Earls tempestuous affair with this young court entertainer, a girl of common upbringing, which eventuated in … Continue reading Weekly Photo Challenge: Masterpiece
