I love photography! There, I said it. It is out in the open.
Actually, if you know me, you would have already known how much i love photography.
Some may even say I eat, breath and sleep photography. My Husband would anyway! Apparently last week I was sleep talking about cameras.
So, what got me thinking about creating this blog? Any why a blog?
Well, ultimately one day I would love to be talented enough to have my own photography business. My own studio even. But I am one of these people that if I am going to do something, I want to do it properly. I want to be the best I can before I put myself out there in business.
I figured that I need to learn as much as I can by reading journals, blogs and tutorials, attending workshops and seminars or even completing a course. And most or all, practice, practice, practice!
So what better way to ensure I continue learning and developing by creating a blog about my journey. I will post about new things I learn about my camera and equipment, new types of photography that I am yet to try and new post processing techniques. Maybe you can give me ideas too?
To get to ball rolling, I will share a a few photos I took a few weeks ago after I attended the AIPP (Australian Institute of Professional Photographers) Event 2013 here in Hobart. I came away from two days of talks and workshops feeling really inspired about the art of photography and yearning to learn more. It also coincided with Dark MOFO, a winter festival of Art, Music and Food. This featured Ryoji Ikeda's Spectra, a light beam that reaches 15km up into the sky. A truly amazing spectacle that drew people from all walks of life to view it from their homes, the top of the mountain, from across the river and of course from the base of the light itself.
This shot was taken from across the river on the Bellerive waterfront.
And this from the Summit of Mount Wellington.
Hope you enjoy and see you for the next post.
