Why do they do it?

Moomba_2017_004.jpg

I ventured into my marvellous Melbourne today for the final day of Moomba because I felt as though I had been trapped at home over the last few days. I hadn’t……..but it felt as though I had.

As I wandered aimlessly along Birrarung Marr I watched hundreds of people hand over their money to carnival ride owners for the privilege of being put into a contraption that flung them around at great heights and speeds with the view to being scared out of their wits. Why on earth do people do this to themselves?

Really folks…..If you want to be scared shitless, get married or have a baby or sit in a car with a learner driver. These things you can do for free.

A latecomer into the world of photography, I have found something that excites and motivates me. I proudly own a Nikon D5100 and last year upgraded to the D750 and it is my constant travelling companion. Wherever I go....it goes. I have done a CAE beginners course on DSLR photography as well as a 6 week class with the Moonee Valley Incinerator Gallery. Both courses taught me heaps and the two teacher were both incredible in their own ways. I am using this blog to develop my knowledge and my skills. It will probably become both a diary and tutorial for me so please be prepared for both. My friends are very encouraging and supportive of this path that I've decided to walk. They seem to think I'm a great photographer. I sincerely thank them for their encouragement but am acutely aware that I am a 'new' photographer not a 'great' photographer. I've seen great photography......I have a long way to go. And this is why I have taken up this challenge. I don't expect to create art every day, but I do believe that opportunities for capturing 'that' moment are right before me and I hope that I am able to capture with a lens what I see in my heart and mind.
