He really is the cutest baby ever born! (Perhaps I might be a little bias....)

Hey guys, 

This post is of a more personal nature, but I hope you all read it, enjoy it, (and help me out with the voting!) :)

As you probably know by now, I have a passion for photography. I have shared some images previously on this blog. I enjoy taking a range of different types of photos, but one of my favorite subjects to photograph is, without a doubt, my beautiful little nephew, Lucas. 

Born at just 29 weeks, I have watched this little man grow from a tiny, little baby into the smiley, cheeky, fun-loving character he is today, at just 8 months old. 

So, you may be thinking, "What does the previously mentioned 'voting' mean?" Well, Lucas has been entered into a Global Photo Competition, and as my loyal little readers, I thought I would ask you all to vote for him!

I have included the link below, and would really appreciate if you would take 30 seconds (or less) to follow the link and vote for him.

Thank you to all those who took the time to go on and vote, you guys rock!!

Studio Arts - Photography Folio (Part 1)

Well, hello there,

Today I thought that I would compose a blog entry to introduce all you lovely readers to my Photography Folio 2013.

 

Being in a remote area, I had been somewhat limited as to what I could photograph, without travelling for hours or relying fully on other people to be available to photograph.

 

So, with all that in mind, I made the decision to focus on a subject matter which I have had constant exposure to, most of my life. It is, of course, Nature.

 

I have been continuously evolving my theme and ideas. I started with just the idea of "Macro in Nature" but have been developing it further, and am now looking at combining this with Non-Macro photography, as well as incorporating capturing Bugs, if I can. I will be drawing a lot of my inspiration from design elements and principles - such as movement, shape, colour and texture.

 

Nature photography is something that I have been passionate about for quite some time, and something that I have been experimenting with as a hobby in my own time.

 

Now that all that is out of the way, below I have included a few pages of my folio. Keep in mind that this is only the very start of my folio, and the photographs shown, are my research/inspiration sources (which come from a combination of ‘Google Images’ and ‘Pinterest.’ Enjoy!

 

An example of my title pages...

Four of my theme pacific Research pages.

 

 

(*My apologies about the angle of the photos, I was unable to scan the pages.*)

 

 

I hope to post more on my Folio progress and maybe even some sneak peak photographs, so stay tuned! :)

Simple Things Amuse Simple Minds...

Hey there readers,

It seems that I have been struck by the old saying:

"Inspiration hits you when you least expects it..."

Thoughts of what to post next had been running rampant in my mind, all day - resulting in only bits and pieces of ideas.

So, after giving up, and continuing to do research for my Photography class, I stumbled upon something. An (dodgy - unknown to me at the time) “Opinion Poll”, found on a professional Photographer’s web page.

The question read “Do you think *insert photographer’s name here* is Australia’s Best Nature Photographer. Yes or No.

I sat there, mouse hovering over the “yes” button, deep in thought. As I run through other Photographer’s names. I decided, that no, I wouldn’t say that this particular photographer was the best, as I drag my mouse across to ‘no’ and click. But nothing happened. I click again, only to realise, that once the mouse points to ‘no’, the button moves.

The idea of this type of thing, is not new, and many people have fallen victim to them before, but my thinking was like: “Huh, what is happening? This is a professional web page.”  But, I guess that was the aim of the poll, to trick people by the professional presentation.  I just wonder how many other people have fallen victim to the very same link. I know that I am a bit embarrassed to say that this did keep me quite amused, longer then one would hope.

You could say that “simple things amuse simple minds” but as for me? I am just going to blame it on being bored and overtired. J
