You thought I'd miss another Saturday, didn't you??
Well, I nearly did. I had a very busy day today. Starting with a difficult (because I'm so unfit) but satisfying (because we made it to the top!) walk up Mount Taylor with Deb and Ollie, some digging out the back, and then dinner with some friends at their place (K's family). A lovely, but tiring day.
But because I am going to try and write a post tomorrow, I thought I'd better put my photos up today. Thanks to those of you who have left comments and sent emails; I now have a few ideas to write about.
So here are today's six:
A photo of Sam
I love that nearly 7 months after he died, I can still get the occasional photo of Sam that I haven't seen before. This one was on my mother-in-law's camera. Lovely smile...A photo of Oliver
I love this photo. It looks like one bird just told Ollie a secret and he's passing it on.An old photo
This was taken around 1992, when I was 18. It's on my godmother's farm down near Moruya (I would move there in a heartbeat, I love her property!)An Interesting Photo
I took this on Monday when Ollie and I went for our huge ride. The lake was like glass. (The next two days were wet and cold and horrible, but Monday was great!)This week's theme is 'sculpture'. I read recently in a photography magazine that you shouldn't just reproduce someone else's artwork, that if you're going to photograph a sculpture, you should try and do something different with it. So I came up with this. This is a photo of a kinetic (moving) sculpture down by Lake Tuggeranong. It's called 'Angel Wings' and it's by an artist named Phil Price. I'm pretty happy with it. It was taken about half an hour after sunset, at a shutter speed of 5 seconds, and has been processed a little in 'Lightroom' (mainly cropping and colour enhancing.
This is what it looks like in the day time (and from the other side):

Lesson 3 - ISO
This storyboard has two identical photos taken with the lowest and highest ISO settings. You can really see the 'noise' in the second one.
Hey Mel, Wow that photo of Sam is really lovely, that was at Sue's dad's 90th hey? The sculpture photo is really great, you really did take a photo that made the sculpture different, it looks like there is fire on it, fantastic!! Really loving to see your progression in your photos, I look forward to seeing what ideas you come up with each week. Keep up the great work! Love Laura
ReplyDeleteThanks Laura, lovely feedback!
ReplyDeleteI think it was the 90th birthday thingy; I didn't go so I'm not 100% sure. A lot of the photos near it were all the boys helping Christopher move in, so maybe there?
