odds and ends...

Just a few little bits and pieces. I haven't really been doing any dedicated photography, although a few gems have appeared amongst my random photo taking. I have a strong pull towards black and white at the moment - I'm craving their simple elegance, but I still have my eyes open to colour - although I am also steering towards something different, trying things that are unconventional.

Firstly - is a series on Lavender...

and the rest (..extremely random..)

and the colour..

...and in colour....

Continuing with the digital design style of work, and as promised, I have some examples in colour. Fairly simple designs - yet effective for the same reason.

Digital Designs..

I have been playing around with a little photoshop art. All the designs below have been taken from my photographs. For photoshop enthusiasts - I have developed my own brushes - this is a simple way of having a stockpile of design elements such as birds, trees etc. I have also had a friend request a canvas design in this simple way and wanted to provide an array of choice, without the influence of colour, although I plan to post some coloured designs next.

Echuca Rod Run 2008

Echuca Rod Run would be my favourite event in Echuca's extremely busy calender of events. My family were involved for a few years, and growing up with a brother and father who were so enthusiastic about these beautiful machines, it was hard not to develop an appreciation for them. Its so easy to photograph them, although this year I tried for a few different angles and with good results. Also, I was able to photograph many in the streets which gave different photos as the Show 'n' shine which is always under trees - interesting/annoying reflections, shade/light issues - but I'm always up for a challenge.

Enjoy...
