Things That Attract My Eye – Part 25

Featured by communicatingcreatively, posted in Photography

This morning, after my gym workout, I went for a 2.3km/1.4-mile walk. It so great to have an area so beautiful that is so close to the gym.

Here are some images I took along the way.

Till next time!

Things That Attract My Eye – Part 23

Featured by communicatingcreatively, posted in Photography

The following images were taken in May this year. We had a trip up to Millthorpe (near Bathurst/Orange/Blayney), NSW, in May for a good friend’s 60th Birthday party. Some of the images are from there, and others are around and about.

If you ever get a chance to visit the towns/cities mentioned above, please do so. Lots to see! Abercrombie House, just outside Bathurst is definitely a must. A three-storey mansion, built in 1870, where you can have lunch and do a self-guided mansion tour. I highly recommend it.

Till next time!

It’s been a while since I added to this segment. The images below were taken in March and April this year. We’ve certainly had some beautiful skies of that time. I always enjoy looking at, and taking photos of clouds etc. They also make excellent backgrounds for my poems. 🙂

Till next time!

Things That Attract My Eye – Part 21

Featured by communicatingcreatively, posted in Photography

This posts images come from a variety of places:

Local walks
A Car Wash
An Urban Sketcher’s Wollongong Sketch-meet at Port Kembla
My backyard
Sydney CBD

Some of the subjects I photograph may end being reference photos for sketches, watercolour, line and wash or oil paintings.

Even though I don’t photograph a lot with DSLR camera’s these days, I like to ‘keep my eye in’ with my phone camera. At some point, I will purchase a mid to high range compact camera that can fit in a suit pocket that I can carry anywhere.

Till next time!

Things That Attract My Eye – Part 20

This article’s images come from a number of different outings:

Local walks
A trip into the City to see Penn & Teller at the Sydney Opera House
Our garden

Hope you enjoy them. Some are natural, a few are man-made. Beauty is all around us. If only we would take some time to practice awareness. This exercise can bring a bit of peace to your day. 🙂

Till next time!

All the images in this post were taken on a small walk I did this morning. We are almost one month into the Summer season here in south-western Sydney. More often than not, the best time to walk is early morning.

The early morning light was again majestic this morning.

Till next time!

It has been a hectic period recently. This is true both on a business and personal level as we head towards Christmas.

It has been nearly two months since I posted in the Photography section. Here are a selection of subjects. Some are taken on local walks. Others were taken on a recent trip to the City (Sydney).

Till next time!

Car Wash Photography

If you have never taken any images from inside your car when your car is going through a n automated car wash, then I highly recommend it when you next take your car for a wash.

Below are are series of images I have taken in car washes over time. I find it fascinating and enjoy seeing what kinds of images I can come out with each time.

So, next time you take your car for a wash, remember to take your camera out!

Till next time!

At the end of February/early March, my Wife, Susan and I escaped for 5 nights/6 days down to Greenwell Point which is roughly 2 hours drive away from where live. It is located just past Nowra which approximately, 176 kilometres or 109 miles from Sydney.

It is a beautiful, quiet spot and was even quieter as it wasn’t school holidays.

I’ll be posting more images from our short trip over time however, here is a small selection of abstract images of subjects that ‘attracted my eye’ on this trip.
