A Little Drama
I have recently posted a number of photos with white negative space, I really enjoy that type of photography. However lately, I’ve wanted to experiment with dark negative space instead. I plan to do some shooting in the next week or so, but in the meantime I did a little editing in Lightroom on an image…

A Rainbow for Your Monday
A very quick post tonight. I really couldn’t help but share this photo with you. I moved some plants around on the weekend and needed to water them in. I was about to run back inside when I noticed this beautiful rainbow caught in the spray of the sprinkler, so I had to grab my…

Dancing in the Dark
My friend invited us to watch her Spotlight Dance at the Dance Studio where she studies ballroom. I took my camera along (of course!) and tried my hand at shooting fast-moving subjects in very low light and with a flash. I used the flash that came with my camera – a hot shoe popup. It…

Our mutual love of black and white dramatic photography, makes us The Drama Queens! And we…

Loyalty (Eclectic Corner #13.1)
Loyalty – what does that word mean? Can you see it? To me, loyalty is easily visible between my parents. Justine gave us the definition – faithfulness to obligations or commitments. But I think it’s much more than that. Loyalty between loved ones is evident in the way they look at each other, in the…

Starting the Mentoring Process
I have signed up with Griffith University’s Industry Mentoring Program to be a mentor for an undergraduate student. The program is designed to match 200 students with appropriate mentors (just one each, don’t worry!) by providing each student with the profiles of available mentors. This is a blind process – the mentors’ names and personal details are…
