I couldn't believe my luck when we discovered this chair during our walk on the beach this morning. The dull cloudy day made it seem even more broken.
Better late than never, I have missed the first couple of weeks.
I took this photo in the hope the viewer would see the dreamy light that caught my eye.
My photograph for Week 13 of the Dogwood 52 Week Photography challenge.
This week is about the Golden Hour. The Golden Hour is the hour before sunset or after sunrise when the sun casts amazing golden tones. The brief was to take photograph during the Golden Hour to tell a story

Week 47 already. This year is coming to an end so fast! (I'm sure I felt that way last year as well) We finally managed to get outside while there was still some daylight left.
Week 1/52
I am putting my Creative Hat back on.
It has been over three years since I first started my 365 day project back in 2009! Once I finished the project, I found myself shooting less personal work and focussed more on building my career as a professional portrait and wedding photographer. I've lost some of the creative passion I once had. I've attempted to start another 365 project (twice!) but couldn't find enough time to dedicate to creating photographs I was truly proud of. Therefore...I have started a project I can manage, the 52 week project! I shall take a creative photograph once a week for an entire year and will post it here. Fingers crossed I don't quit this one!
Finally got myself a Poalroid! :)
It actually costs $105 but the guy handed me back the $5 and told me to "buy some good food". hehe.
This had been a rather great week :)
Went to watch Super 8 with my dad yesterday, it was a greaaaaat movie but it kinda didn't make sense LOL. Yeah, really excited for Harry Potter to come out! (:
I bought One Direction's Forever Young book yesterday! It costs a bomb! $41.90 :/ Yeaaah and I got a batman shirt yesterday! Gonna wear it tomorrow for church ;) hehe
Struggling to finish my 1000+ words essay for my The Giver project :/ So far i've only done 300+ words and i'm stuck. I have no imagination whatsoever LOL. But I read out those 300+ words to my mom and she said it was great so yay! :)) I shall try to complete it later :)
Gonna do some algebra now hehe
School starts next week :/
To celebrate World Space Week 4th-10th October!
An eclipse montage - on Friday March 20th this year and on Monday 28th September Simon and I were delighted to both observe and photograph the partial solar eclipse and total lunar eclipse!
On both occasions the conditions were challenging - in March we had cloud, in September we had dew and some cloud - but thrilled to witness such awesome events and share the science!

Happy Halloween

That's my resolutions for 2012. Ok i'm a bit late, but it's never too late. So I'm starting a new 52 this week. I'll be choosing my own themes, and that's just the way it is ! ;)
Next week : "window"
This weeks fence shot from the other morning. When the sun was just breaking up the fog.
Hope you all have a Happy Fence Friday

she was 6 years old.
the other children were playing outside in the snow.
she was sitting inside, looking at them through the window.
she imagined her own snow in her own little world.
she was 19 years old.
the other children had grown up.
she was sitting inside, watching the snow fall.
her imagination was gone.
so this is what I basically felt like this week. I know I’m always telling the same thing but I’ve been studying and studying and studying and I cannot believe I survived the four exams I had. I remembered being a child and not being able to play with the other children in the snow because I was ill. I felt ill this week. physically. isolated.
this is late because I simply could not decide which picture to choose. I took them on sunday and I began to edit a picture but didn’t like it, then edited another one, gave up frustrated. I had a look at them again today and edited another one but it didn’t work out the way I imagined it to be. now I think I’m finally satisfied.

Explored!
Week 45/52
So she opens the closet. Slowly, as if any interference from the light outside might shed her secrets, let the thing she hold inside spill back into the real world. It’s amazing, how much of herself she is able to keep behind these small wooden doors, how something so unlike herself is stashed away. Remnants of the life she’s lived before, of the times she’s spent in California. Mementos, souvenirs from a life she doesn’t think she’ll ever go back to.
The black, wide section of lace falls into her hand, the texture grainy, harsh against the tips of her fingers. By feeling it against her skin again she can remember that night, so many lives ago, when she wrapped it around her face, around her hands and her midsection and her breasts and her legs — and allowed Penny to photograph her. She’d never had any issue with the fact that the other woman could use her photographs for an exhibit of some kind — she didn’t care. All she cared about was the way Penelope looked at her, her eyes lost between the viewfinder of the Hasselblad she carried around, and the vision of Betty, lying on the bed wearing nothing but the long piece of black lace.
She brings it up to her face, ihnaling the soft scent of her hands, of Penelope’s neck. She’s never washed it, afraid of losing that touch of realness, that physical proof that the love she’s felt has, in fact, been real.

This is a tiny bit taken out of my NaNo novel. I am so behind, it’s not even funny; as soon as I post this, I’m going back to writing like a maniac to reach AT LEAST 15k today. Seriously. I’m so behind.
I hope you guys have a fabulous weekend!
I took LOTS (and I mean LOTS) of shots of water splashing off a large leaf and not one of them worked for me .... through sheer frustration I changed tack. After lining up the focus under a dribbling tap, I stuck my left hand under whilst reaching for the shutter release with my right (on a tripod of course but no remote shutter release at hand) .....and this is the one that I was most happy with ( third attempt ).
Such is photography and indeed LIFE ;-) Sometimes the answer is in the palm of your hand !
Congratulations to our weekly winners!

It's crazy what you can do with photos now. I put this sunset sky on a beach picture I took in bright and sunny weather.
Winter in Perth. I love this giant tree with the city as a backdrop. Its probably at least 8kms south of the city.
This concept was something I wanted to do for a long time but I didn't know if it was going to work out. So I decided to take a testshoot. There was no testmodel available so I had to model it myself. I prepared the setting, got all the candles on the right place, and positioned my tripod. Right from the beginning I knew it was going to be hard work, I still don't have a schutter remote so I needed to press the shutter myself and then quickly run to the middle of those candles, take a position and do this over and over again.
I have to say I'm quite happy about this testshot (and some others too), I know it's not quite done yet, there can be some improvements, but I will definitely do a remake of this one with a real model.
I hope you'll like it. I definitely had fun making this one, so I decided to start with a 52 weeks project. I'm looking forward to it!
