Another from my shoot with Tim. This one is unusual – because it’s in colour.
Please note the perfect Rembrandt (the triangle of light on Tim’s cheek).

When I’m learning new things, in this case trying to balance the ambient light with flash, it’s good to have a patient model.
Interlude #4
We spent the morning playing with light and light sources …
Interlude #3
I came across Lily quite by accident, and I knew from the moment I saw her that I wanted to photograph her.
And so I did.

Interlude #2
I mentioned yesterday that I love taking portraits, and that my husband is my only model.
I don’t think I told a fib because the beautiful girls in this shot didn’t model for me.
I just happened to catch them in a candid moment …
Interlude #1
Second on my list of favourite things to photograph, after flowers, is portraits.
I am not at all skilled in the art of portrait photography, but I am keen to learn.
Here is an early attempt at a black and white portrait (my favourite kind).
My husband, Tim, is my one and only model. If you’re keen to let me practice on you, sing out!
Icons of Melbourne #12
I remember taking a photo of my two daughters in front of Luna Park sometime in the early 90s when we were waiting for the boat back to Tassie. I’d taken photos of others in the same place, but it wasn’t till my most recent visit that I realised that I’d never actually been inside before.
So I went inside … here are a few images of what I found in there.
Tim visited at a different time, and his view is quite different. See it here.
Touring in the Midlands
A number of years ago, when travelling to (or from) Hobart, Tim and I made a vow to one day stop in at Tunbridge. It’s between Ross and Oatlands, and we’d never turned off the highway to see what was there.
Until today that is. After we’d been to Hobart, delivered the books we had to deliver, wandered through the market, had lunch at Machine (a great place to go for lunch, or breakfast, or to do some laundry) … we headed back to Burnie. We aren’t sure if we’ll be going to Hobart again, so we thought we’d take the opportunity to visit Tunbridge.
Here’s what I found:

Tunbridge is not a big place! There are no shops, but there is a community centre and today it was bursting at the seams. We didn’t feel qualified to enter, however, as we weren’t driving a ute.
After wondering around for a while and taking some photos (and almost being drawn into the town’s Christmas picnic at the park … the smell of a barbecue cooking was tempting!) we headed for Ross.

100 Strangers Project
I thought it might be timely to add a reminder about my 100 Strangers Project here.
Click here … 100 Strangers
It is going slowly, much more slowly than I intended it to, but I’ve just added a few more strangers, and there are still some more to come … so don’t forget to bookmark the site and check it out, or you can go there and follow me so that you get a notification about updates whenever I add more strangers.
Here are some other strangers that I can’t add to the project, but I thought worth sharing anyway!

And I think to myself …
There are so many people, but once you move past that and begin to see individuals rather than crowds, you see differently. There are young people, old people and then there are the children…
… dancing
… chasing seagulls
… playing dress-up
And I think to myself …
