I was back in my marvellous Melbourne today on a not so marvellous day in terms of the weather. But it is Autumn and one must expect colder temperatures, clouds, grey skies and even rain. I was off to the theatre for a little bit of musical sunshine and ‘me time’.

However, never one to pass up the opportunity to take a photograph or two, I took my trusty Nikon with me. This time I was at the Parliament end of my marvellous Melbourne. Spring Street to be exact. This is an area bursting at the seams with gorgeous architectural examples . There is Parliament House, the Treasury Building, The Windsor Hotel, The Princess Theatre……all on the one little bit of street!!!

I didn’t have a lot of time on my hands before the rise of the curtain, but with so many things to shoot I was almost overwhelmed. This can only mean one thing. I will have to go back again soon to see what else I can find.

But today I had a purpose. A mission, if you will. Today I saw things in black and white. I looked at my marvellous Melbourne with the intention of finding those images that would look their best in Monochrome May.

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.
