Chinese Gardens - Photography

How fantastic it was to go see the Chinese Gardens, near Darling Harbour. It was my first ever time and I enjoyed it completely! These are some of the photos I took while being there. I seriously have nothing else to say BUT... go check the place out!

Holes - Photography

I actually took this photo a few years ago. It feels good to know that it still exists. I think it was taken at the 2009 Sculpture by the Sea Exhibition. This artwork fascinated me! Though, I can't exactly remember what it was made from and what it resembled... I know that it was in a circle shape. I manaed to take this photo through the first sphere of the circle and make it look into the second and beyond. I'll say this was my best ever photo at the time that I was learning and experimenting with photography and how to use a camera.

Just like the '70's - Photography

It's amazing what you can find by just looking out your window... I saw this car and ran to get my camera. It SO reminded me of the 1970's (not that I was alive during that period) but I used to watch 'That '70's Show' so rather, it reminded me of that show. I absolutely loved that show... ANYWAY, it was good that it was a nice sunny morning and I had a fly-screen protection on my window which made the photo look even more 70-like. Ah, the beauty of the view your window can provide... even if it is a car!

Barbed Wire - Photography

It was a HOT sunny afternoon and I was out watching my brother play soccer... or was I? Naturally, I had my camera with me. Because I couldn't get good shots of him playing, I started to roam around the playground, probably looking like an idiot, and taking random photos. And of all things, a barbed wire fence caught my eye (Mind you, I only just got my camera so I was still experimenting with it). It was then that I learnt the functions of the 'close-up' button... it really puts things into perspective.

Jasmin Dwyer - Artist

Check out JASMIN DWYER! Her artwork is amazing! Enough said. Her work consists of layering and she works with watercolour, and possibly ink, from what I can see. Her work has also been published in the CURVY art magazine - a magazine containing over 40 female artists. The link is on the side bar.

This picture is featured in the latest CURVY art magazine

This particular picture I REALLY like! Those mixtures of birds on different surfaces look awesome together. It's a great inspiration to get mine up like this one day... some day...

Love this studio of hers!

Splash! - Photography

It's amazing to be at the shore and watching the waves splash hard on the rocks! Each time it happened, I'd gasp at its magnificance. These are a series of shots I took while spending some time with family on a fishing trip. I forgot where we actually went... better look it up soon! Anyway, looking at these photos brings me a chill. Look how amazing the waves look in action!

Merciful Raindrops - Photography

It was a rainy day one day and I was sitting inside when my father called me out to show me some photos he had taken of the front yard of the house. They looked amazing! So, he encouraged me to take photos of things while it was still raining. He said that when he comes back from some place he was going to, he better see some photos. I thought about it, got my camera and went out into the backyard. And here is what I took. Absolutely love those plants out in the back! Such a benefit to have a family who's into gardening...
