Bubbles

Girl and bubbles

I had my lunch at Sydney Town Hall today. As usual, there was a group of young people there. One of them - a girl with coloured hair was blowing bubbles at her friends and was generally very cheeky.

I thought it was a very cute scene to capture.

The girl although a bit surprised when I have shown her the photo rather enjoyed it and one of her friends seem to be very interested in my Canon 1D camera. Not many people his age would know what it is so I was rather impressed.

Matt - I always had coloured hair

Matt - I always had coloured hair

As I walk through Sydney I often encounter people whose individuality is very obvious and very attractive from photographic point of view. Today I have met Matt, whose coloured hair drew my attention. Matt was only too happy to pose for the photo. Pose wise I have asked him to look afar - just as I found him. While I was asking him to hold the pose I realised the most striking feature of this young man is not his colour hair but his deep blue eyes. Matt you have been a great sport and I hope you like your portrait.

Tender Moment - a couple saying goodbye before work

Tender Moment - a couple saying goodbye before work

A small romantic moment. A couple saying goodbye to each other before going to their jobs. I could see they were delaying the moment of “goodbye” for as long as they could. It looked very touching and I hope I was able to capture that moment in this photograph

Reflective building facade

Reflective building facade

Another interesting find for today was this highly reflective building facade. The panels and windows were set at an angle and thus reflected both the people below and the buildings above. Quite a surreal arrangement.

Embroidered Dress

Embroidered Dress

This is a very straight forward photograph. I simply liked the way this woman was dressed. White short Embroidered Dress with matching red top and red bag. Very summery and just a bit different.

Drewent ARTISTS colour pencils

Drewent ARTISTS colour pencils

Recently I had a brief discussion with a friend of mine, who has a strong conviction that photography should ALWAYS reflect what he sees. This in particular applies, in his opinion, to the fidelity of colours, tones and light intensity. He is deferring the move to to digital camera as he does not feel they offer that ability to capture what he sees.

Well Chris, I am not going to shoot a colour chart, as I find the colours in these charts rarely relate to anything I can recognise. However, I have at home Drewent ARTISTS colour pencil set, which is probably one of the most recognised and popular sets used anywhere int he western world. The colours here, as I see them are very, very close to the original colours on the pencils and yet this photo was not taken in a controlled environment. I did not use temperature stable light, gray card or any other “gizmo” aiding the exposure. In fact the white balance here was left in Automatic mode too.

Perhaps some people are a lot more sensitive to colour variations than I am but to me the result is more then satisfactory.

Coloured bottles

Colourful Bottles MG_2371

This set of colourful bottles was actually an art exhibit in a shape of a flower. However, I found it more interesting to fill in the frame with their shapes and colours then to show the exhibit itself. I believe it was created by children in a community art hall at George’s Head (Mosman).
