Everywhere you look

Now that I travel with my camera either in my car on the seat beside me, in my bag or in my hand, I spend my life using every millimetre of my vision scanning my surroundings looking for something to photograph. It’s a jolly good thing that women are proficient at using their peripheral vision.

I would like to officially apologize to the drivers who have to negotiate my sudden decisions to turn left or right or to pull over in what may seem to be a sudden manoeuvre. I do try to be considerate of the drivers behind me and I’m often found doing a “blockie” in order to get back to what I have seen and want to photograph rather than stopping suddenly.

I was lucky that I spotted today’s photo with just enough time to spare allowing me to both indicate a left turn and accomplish the action before the driver behind me ran up my car’s arse. Lol!!!

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.
