I've get tired of having to spell my name at meetings and functions so I have invested in a name tag.
When ordering it I was asked what was that image, a flower? No, it is a stylized camera, and no, I didn't download it from the net, it's my own image and I own the copyright.
I was asked what the image was again a couple of times since. Well, at least they could read the name...

But today there was a Christmas party with a group of photographers - "Oh what a good idea! And you've got a camera there! AND a 16-35 lens on it!" - We clearly speak the same language! :)

Мне надоело диктовать по буквам мое, сложное для англоязычного человека, имя. Заказала себе простенький бейждик. Гравировщик спросил, что это за символ в углу? Пришлось объяснить, что это стилизованная фотокамера, и нет, я не скачала ее с интернета, это мое фото и мой копирайт.
Пару раз надевала на разные мероприятия, каждый раз кто-нибудь спрашивал, что это. Ну, по крайней мере, имя могли прочитать...

А сегодня ходила на Рождественскую вечеринку в компании фотографов. Реакция была: "Здорово! И фотокамера! И объектив 16-35 на ней!" В общем, говорим на одном языке!

Architecture

Got another Gold in projected images at a camera club meeting, the set subject was “Industrial or agricultural architecture”. I have used one of my old images of a wind mill in Oatland, Tasmania, taken just before we moved to Perth.

Coincidentally, in another photo club last week (yes, I am a photo social butterfly) the subject was “Architecture abstract” and I have won a Bronze for the shot taken earlier this year at Gold Coast. I have called it “Crossroads”

Camera movement

ICM, intentional camera movement as a style of photography is gaining popularity. My experience in the field is minimal so far but it’s something I want to explore. Here are my few examples which I call successful.

The first two are taken from a moving car when travelling through Nullarbor plain. I call them “Colours of Nullarbor”. The third image is called “Night Market”. I wanted to catch the movement of the crowd.
