Emotional Photography

Something I like about photography is that it is often part of a bigger story. I was looking through some old photos an found this one. It certainly brings back memories of the time and place in which I was living at the time and I'm sure everyone has different images that trigger certain feelings and memories. I have enjoyed photography since I was a kid and the whole time have liked capture these things in a photo. 'Capturing the moment' is a pretty cliche statement, but that is what photography is about. It is momentary and no more, but I like how a photo can bring back more than a moment of thought.

Anyway, the point here is that I am keen in future photography to bring more feeling into the picture. I feel that it will certainly add to future work, unless of course I am trying to convey an impersonal place of cold emotions.

Have a great day!

Hamelin Pool - Stromatolites

Such a long time between posts...

We recently got back from a week away up in Exmouth. A lovely place to go and spend some of the winter break. ON our way back down to Perth, we stopped and camped at a great little caravan park near Hamelin Pool. Here, the stromatolites are one of the historical attractions of the area. Hence, the photo below. 

However, this is to be one of my last photos in a while as my camera eventually decided to die. After having lots of sensor troubles over the past couple of years, the shutter finally packed it in. 

On the upside, this means I will be looking at getting a new camera soon. I am on the hunt for a new one as soon as I can. At this point, I'm considering the Canon EOS 5D Mark III. It seems like it has everything I would like to see in a camera. 

I'm now looking forward to some much better and more reliable gear!!!
