For this week's Macro Monday theme "Hot or Cold". Making metal catch on fire.
First of some fun playing with various shutter speeds.
It can be a bit intimidating asking a stranger on the street for permission to take a portrait, but this is exactly what I did on this occasion after a day in Newtown a few years ago. She was with her friend taking selfies next to a wall full of colourful but messy graffiti. After the usual minute of so of battling with my alter ego doing it’s best to convince me to walk away, I approached her to ask if she would like her picture taken. She kindly obliged and after after a few clicks we both really settled down and got the confidence to figure out some good shots that she and her friend would like with the light that we had left.
In this portrait, I elected a panoramic crop with a focus on the catchlight in her eye as I felt that the background was too distracting. The black and white conversion with a little grain applied seems to fit my mood lately so here is the result.
Have a great Sunday!

A wave of spark on a cold wet beach. Out spinning wool at low tide this week. Thanks for coming OUt Karlee and Johnny. Contact me for prints of any of my work: dereklawrence138.myportfolio.com
Drone shot over Newberry Florida and a storm was moving in at sunset. I got lucky and captured the bolt of light
This is my favorite boat from Dungeness, the one that I've shot quite a few times and I felt like burning some wool the other night too.
It is now the depths of winter here in Melbourne, and it has been the coldest winter since 1947. The other day when I went to hand deliver a birthday card, as I was walking back, there was a break in the rainclouds and showers long enough to give me some sunshine and blue skies, and I walked past a garden full of bright purple and magenta salvias. A raindrop glinting in the sunlight on the tip of a purple salvia caught my eye, and as I always carry my little camera with me, I stopped to photograph it. Everywhere I looked, there were salvias that looked like they had been dressed in millions of diamonds as they sparkled in the momentary burst of sunlight. The vibrant colour in the bloom is very striking, and the way it is covered in raindrops, makes this salvia a real bejewelled beauty.
