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.
Yesterday, I arrived in Camden, NSW about 20 minutes earlier than planned. I decided to go for a short walk.
I had been to this area many times, yet, that is sometimes what makes discoveries all the more satisfying. When ‘the light’ is different, as it is each time, you can discover new things.
Shadows, lines, patterns, textures and form are quite attractive to me. Here are some examples of what I found. 🙂
One of my favourite subjects to photograph is Tree Bark. Early morning and late afternoon are my favourite times to do this. It is at those times when the beauty, texture and colour really comes to life.
Over the years, both as an enthusiast Photographer (entering competitions up to International level) and Photographic Judge (up to National level), I have been asked, ‘what is your favourite subject?’
I imagine that people are expecting me to say things like, ‘landscapes, seascapes, people, architecture etc’.
My answer is simply, ‘light and its effect on subjects’.
Light of course needs shadow to create contrast so maybe I should say that my favourite subject to photograph is, ‘light and shadow and their effect on subjects’.
Here are a few images of ‘light and shadow’ that inspired me on our recent trip to Norfolk Island.
