Photo Challenge #27 - In Motion

"...Now this week's challenge was suggested by Easperee (Free Spirit) so thank you for that. She suggested "action". ... So just like a lion stalking its prey, lie in wait people and see if you can get that moment frozen it time."

I found this challenge quite hard. Here's are my ateempts to capture Motion.

Here is Ella. She loves the camera.... and funnily enough, jumping around :)




These shots were taken on Saturday at Safety Beach, Victoria. I was attending a wedding in the area, but thought I would stop over at the beach on the way to the house...

hmmm.... don't know if should have considering I was wearing high heals and a formal outfit... :) anyway...

It was a VERY windy day, unfortunately I think I may have failed in capturing the extent of the movement that day!

Photo Challenge #23 - Make-Over (presented by Jorinde)
"...Take a picture, old or new and do as much or as little editing to it as you like and show us both...."

I loved this challenge. Thanks Jorinde!

Here are a couple I created using Photoshop. I can play with ps for hours!

I know the requirement was to add two photos but typical Libran me couldn't decide, so I added three in the first one! :)

Photo Challenge - SOOC

Eeekkk.. NO editing!... Tell me it's not true!

Toning, saturating, darkening, lighting, cropping, filtering…… When it's warranted, I definitely process my photos. I actually find processing fun and enjoy the benefits of shooting in digital.

Today I had a wonder around Melb city on my lunch break... lame attempt I know... so anyway here they are, my SOOC shots… now I’m heading off to adobe land to play….

Zen Photography

This was a challenge and with limited time I had a real think about what I could sit in front of and meditate looking at. First, I love sunsets but I didn't get the chance to experience one this week so I put my focus on simple shapes and patterns.

Simple shapes and colours and repeated patterns are calming to me. I have been to Asia a couple of times and have collected a lot of beautiful things... So here is my Zen....












Here are a couple of photos I have taken in the past.
