Taking photos

For quite a while I have been a regular visitor the Kirk Tuck's blog, The Visual Science Lab.

He regularly posts lots of interesting pieces with regard to his views on photography. I often find his ideas eerily similar to my own. Albeit, he has probably 20 years or so more experience than what I have in the business of photography. None the less, it is quite bizarre to read somebodies words from across the other side of the world and pretty much be exactly your thoughts.

Us new (digital) photographers have quite a lot to learn from the seasoned veterans of this craft.

In light of this, I thought I would take some of Kirk's initiatives and wander around with my camera and take photos. For it's own sake.

I was finishing a job in the city at around 5pm. Wanting to avoid the evenings traffic, I grabbed my Canon 5D and trusty 50mm f/1.4 and wandered by the mighty yarra. I watched the sky go from light to dark. I saw Venus in between the buildings. And had quite a lovely time in a balmy Melbourne Autumn evening.

All images converted to jpeg in Lightroom 4 with a slight colour balance tweak. ISO ranging from 800 - 1,600.

Damn bird got in the way here. That was tongue in cheek. I quite enjoy serendipitous occasions like this when unplanned things happen. They quite often liven up the photo.
