You don't realise how fast a swan can glide until you see it's moved so fast you cut the reflection off.... a lesson I should have learned in earlier shots and forgot all about ;)
Im Back in Australia for a couple of weeks and will be post a lot of photos of the area.
This one is Beautiful Bronte Beach early morning.
It was really great morning and really hot!
shot with a Nikon D7000 , Lens Tokina 11-16mm f/2.8 AT-X Pro DX II.
this exact time is the hardest... when everyone else is asleep... and i'm the only one awake...
it's just me and the cancer...
I will share the air I breathe,
I'll give you my heart on a string,
I just don't wanna miss anything.
I'm trying real hard not to shake. I'm biting my tongue,
but I'm feeling alive and with every breathe that I take,
I feel like I've won. You're my key to survival.
[Awake - Secondhand Serenade]
I had planned to shoot baby pictures while she was asleep. But just as I started taking pictures, she woke up. And I realized that a picture of her with eyes open was so much better. Almost as if she was posing for the camera!
"you live like this, sheltered, in a delicate world, and you believe you are living. then you read a book… or you take a trip… and you discover that you are not living, that you are hibernating. the symptoms of hibernating are easily detectable: first, restlessness. the second symptom (when hibernating becomes dangerous and might degenerate into death): absence of pleasure. that is all. it appears like an innocuous illness. monotony, boredom, death. millions live like this (or die like this) without knowing it. they work in offices. they drive a car. they picnic with their families. they raise children. and then some shock treatment takes place, a person, a book, a song, and it awakens them and saves them from death. some never awaken."
