When I started this project, it was the intention to capture our everyday family life. I grew up doing a lot of “posed” photo’s. Needless to say, I have a huge dislike for posed images. They have their time and place, but they don’t depict true life. Life isn’t always sunshine and roses. You can […]
The RSL is just around the corner from last weeks image of the morticians. However, having the 85mm lens I felt restricted and knew to give this building it’s full glory I would have to come back with the wide-angle. With the late evening sunlight, I think I capture the magic and history of such […]
We are up to week 50! Say wha! Isn’t it typical, we come to the end of the project and we get all these ideas for locations for photos. Maybe the “run my home town” challenge has me inspired. This week I set myself the challenge to use the 85mm lens. Now this lens is […]
My intention during week 46 of this project was to take an image of the weighbridge. I just wasn’t happy with it. The lightening was wrong, and I just couldn’t get the angle right. Fast forward to now, I’m still not 100% happy with it, but I capture it. No doubt I will be back […]
I run past a lot of houses. Some I take notice of some I ignore. Every house has a story, so when I ran past this house on Margaret St, I knew I would have to come back and visit it for my photography project. I have no idea how long it has been abandoned, […]
One thing I have enjoyed about this project is finding the little hidden gems of our home town. It’s easy to go past something every day and not really notice it. Recently I started a running project, to run every street in my home town. I wished I started it inline with this project, as […]
I have lived in Stawell for coming up 13 years. Surprisingly, even though I have lived here for that length of time, I haven’t run every street. Scrolling through Strava one day I saw one my friends post. She had set a challenge to run every street of her suburb. I thought what I great […]
Autumn and the spring have to be my favourite seasons to photograph in. Changing colours and softer light is a photographers dream. The Golden Hour is that magical time of the day where the light is warm, diffused, directional. Wandering over to the Grandstand of the Stawell Gift, it was washed in this magical light. […]
Stawell has a rich history of gold mining. While the mine is currently active underground, there are many historical markers scattered throughout the town. Some long gone and forgotten. For this weeks Tuesday image I jumped on my bike and headed to Three Jacks Reserve, just on the outskirts of town, and the start of […]
Say what! 40! Does that mean there are only 13 Tuesdays left for the year? I have a feeling these last few weeks will travel very quickly. The sun was out, and I knew I wanted to spend some time out in the glorious sunshine. Being hit by a virus, however, has meant the last […]
