Things That Attract My Eye – Part 13

by communicatingcreatively, posted in Photography

Our recent short trip down to Greenwell Point, near Nowra recently offered up a host of different photographic opportunities, as well as sketching and painting ones.

Here are a few more of the photographic ones that I found. 🙂

Greenwell Point – South of the Pier.
Crookhaven Heads – The ruined Lighthouse is up the slope to the left.
Greenwell Point – Pier
Point Perpendicular Lighthouse – Jervis Bay

I have more to post from trip. It is/was such a quiet, relaxing trip (we did it outside of school holidays). I would highly recommend it if your are looking (as we were) for a relaxing, short getaway.

Till next time!

Things That Attract My Eye – Part 12

by communicatingcreatively, posted in Photography

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.

Till next time!

Things That Attract My Eye – Part 9

by communicatingcreatively, posted in Photography

We have moved house since the last instalment and so that opens up new opportunities for image-taking. Please the comments on each of the 9 images below.

Sunrise – Taken from our back deck.
Taken from our backyard. Have always enjoyed photographing clouds.
I was on my way to the gym one morning and had to stop the car three times to take Sunrise images as the Sunrise was so beautiful that morning.
Taken on a recent trip to the Sydney CBD to buy Art supplies and do some en Plein air sketching/painting. Always pays to look up!
I remember (as a child & not often as an adult), I used to lay on the grass and stare at the sky and watched as the cloud formed into different shapes. A very relaxing experience. Must do it again.
Lake Burragorang Lookout. This is a very popular picnic spot that is now only 10 minutes drive away from where we live. 🙂
This was another image I took that morning on the way to the gym. There are photo opportunities everywhere, so remember to look down as well. 🙂
Taken from the backyard again. Tempted to call this ‘Fingers of Light’ or ‘God’s Fingers.’
This one was also taken that morning on the way to the gym. So glad I stopped three times on the way… P.S. I did actually make it to the gym in the end! 🙂

I hope you enjoyed my latest selection.

Till next time!

Contre Jour – Leaves

by communicatingcreatively, posted in Photography

We are very fortunate that we live close to a really relaxing place to walk. Fortunately, we are higher up away from a river that has been known to flood over the years, and in particular, the last 2-3 years.

Normally, it is a wondrous place to walk…so relaxing and because light is what it is, you get to see different subjects lit differently even if you walk at the same time each day.

One of the things I really like to watch out for is ‘Contre jour’ or ‘against the light.’ In particular, trees, shrubs and of of course leaves really come to life with this type of lighting. Here are a few recent images I took. Hope you enjoy them.

Till next time!
