“Kissed by the Wind.”
There’s an English proverb that goes something like “all good things must come to an end” and so it is with my August Snaps Project. Today was the last day of what has been both a challenging and creative month filled with photography every day.
I made more than 1400 images with my [...]

“Tie-dye.”
Tie-dying is accomplished by folding clothing material into a pattern, and binding it with string or rubber bands before dipping it into a dye bath. It became fashionable in the late 1960s and early 1970s as part of the hippie style. It was popularized in the United States by musicians such as John Sebastian and [...]

“Cup Thru’ Bottle.”
A slightly different image today although it is abstract which I have made before in this August Snaps Project. As the title hints, however, it is simply my daugter’s sippy cup taken through a green bottle while we were having lunch. Yes, you can have fun all day long when you carry a [...]

“Frozen Leaf.”
I got the idea for this image through an article I had cut out and kept in one of my many inspiration files. However it is several months ago since I froze this leaf and my wife has asked me several times what I was doing with this leaf in the freezer? Well, today [...]

“Light Magic.”
Photography is about light, right?
This was quite a fun image to make. It was made at my main work place where I have the chance to watch how the light changes in this particular area depending on how high or how low the sun is in the sky. It is most interesting when [...]

“Leaves and Wall.”
As I planned my day today I knew I was going to make a second attempt at this image. I had photographed this particular scene when I made “Penny’s Picture” on the 3 August. Since I returned to the same location today I thought I would have another go as I really like [...]

“In the Depth of Dark.”
The title hints at when I made my photo today…after dark. It was a busy day today and I didn’t have a chance to shoot until I arrived home at around 6pm which was after the last light of the day.
I went out for a little walk close to home. When [...]

“Spring Rain.”
After more than a week with really beautiful weather here in Sydney the afternoon brought some grey skies and rain and I captured this image from inside my car in the late afternoon as I parked my car to go and pick my daughter up after work.
I have seen better examples of these [...]

“Moon Power.”
Allright, allright, not exactly the most inventive title, I admit, but I feel a little unsinspired with regards to titles tonight. Today I’m about 3/4 way through my August Snaps project. It’s been a lot of fun shooting with my compact camera and I would encourage you to consider a serious compact camera if [...]

“Mosaic.”
This was one of the first images I made today, so effectively it is what could be termed as a ‘warm up’ image as also discussed here. While I’m not entirely sure why, I really like the mosaic look of this brick wall reflected in the water in the late afternoon sunlight. It’s simple, yet [...]
