Moments of the Month- January 2016

Because I still take a lot of photographs, and posting just one a week for the EPE isn’t winnowing down my stock, I thought I’d showcase a few of my favourites at the end of each month, with just a few words as to why I like them.

Strangely, although I usually prefer colour, this month I just liked some of my photos better in black and white.

I don’t know why, but this says “Summer Country Wedding” to me.

Daisies (2)
Daisies and Raindrops

I love how the last 2 daisies show against the darkness, one twisted and reaching and the other cupped open.

Roaring Beach (7) darkened bandicoot
Roaring Beach Silhouette

Branches against the sky, silver trunks bare and stark.

The flip of the leaf, the arch of the stem.

That droplet down in the far right corner in all its crystal clarity.

Sentinel & Hawk

A very lucky shot – freedom.

Sentinel Hill b&w
The Dry Paddock

The looming clouds against the dry grass.

Testing the New Camera

These are all taken with my new camera that I have been testing.  Quite happy with it mostly, especially the way I can zoom.

Now I just need to get the manual controls sorted out, start shooting raw format and understand Lightroom.  So- nothing much happening then, eh!  🙂
