TurraWarra in Silver Shade

TurraWarra Estate & Gallery

Its been a while and things have been a little crazy - talk about hitting the new year sprinting!

I have been so obsessed with getting to know my Canon DSLR in preparation for my very first WEDDING SHOOT (I will post about that soon!), that I've completely ignored the things that I love the most. So this weekend was spent with my 35mm Nikon, Holga and Polaroid SX70 - oh the joy!

 This is the first time I've use The Impossible Project's Silver Shade Cool 100 and I have to say I'm in love. Nothing could be more different to a DSLR image than something that pops out of a Polaroid camera and I think I almost forgot how exciting it was to wait to see what beautiful imperfections develop while you wait!

Even though I'm more of a winter girl there's just no denying how much better things seem when the days are long and the light is warm and hazy.

Summer is nearly here, this year is nearly over, new plans are being made and everything feels a little more possible. Many books will be read, a lot more pictures will be taken and I'm guessing some fruity cocktails will be consumed... most likely!

thirty snow whites and some little dwarfs

In my quest to improve my photography I'm trying to put myself into unfamiliar situations. Thirty kids under the age of five at a Snow White fancy dress party... is a little bit more than unfamiliar - its a little scary!

A couple of things I learnt when photographing kids - you need to spend a lot of time of the floor so don't wear light colours and there will most likely be a need for an alcoholic beverage after-woulds.

I look at these images and all I can see are my technical mistakes. I don't have a flash so they're a little noisy and I'm still learning how to best process images in Photoshop - there just seems so much more to do when it comes to digital photography. It was definitely a lot of fun and a little bit exhausting... and perhaps whistles were not the best choice of party favour!

saving the details

I'm naturally a 'big picture' person but I'm becoming more interested in remembering and documenting certain details. Its not a fear of forgetting but more a matter of trying to hold onto a certain feeling or moment before it changes. This is just a snippet of specific things in my grandparent's home that I feel are imprinted somewhere deep in my soul.

PS isn't film just lovely!

Lucky me got to fly up to Sydney for the sole purpose of visiting the Bill Henson exhibition at the Roslyn Oxley9 Gallery followed by the Museum of Contemporary Art, anything that happened after that was a bonus!
