Tequila Sunrise

 

  

 

 

I have been a bit slack on the photo front of late, choosing instead to update and edit some of my already existing photos.

I've been enjoying experimenting with filters and textures, and uploading them to my Instagram gallery.

Generally I try to keep my photo editing to the bare minimum; I don't want to become one of those photographers who ends up dependent on their editing - I think it would be way too easy to develop lazy habits.
By restricting my photo editing, I'm forced to rely solely on my technique - Which, in turn, will hopefully aid me to better myself as a photographer.

I believe that no amount of editing can ever amount to that of a well executed photo.

Accidental 'Pop Art'

  

  

  

  

  

I recently had an 'organised' moment, wherein I decided to go through all my old photo cards, and just check if there was any files left on them, and clear them, ready for future use.

Previously I had had trouble with one of the cards; Told that the card was empty, even though I'd recently used it in my camera. I had just considered the photos lost.

However, after checking the card on the PC via a multi card reader (previously I had used my Mac), I discovered that some of the photos were recoverable - Although, I'm quite sure they didn't look like this when I originally took them!

The above is a selection of the images, grouped together based on their bright colouring - Just a sample of the photo files retrieved from the damaged card.

It has been suggested that maybe the card was subjected to too much heat. ...Whatever the reason, I'm now in possession of some rather funky looking images - Which I have come to grow rather fond of, and felt were too cool not to share.

I think they have a real '60s Pop Art' feel.

...Quite sure I could have never produced anything this cool if it was intentional...

The above photos were taken at Hindmarsh Island and surrounding areas (Currency Creek, etc).

For the love of Poppies!

If you are familiar with my work, you may have noticed that I have just a little bit of a photographic crush on Poppies... They're just such a gorgeous bloom

The following photos are all of Late-Spring Poppy blooms - All grown in our garden, majority from seed.
