The PHOTOGRAPH:

Light. You’ve just got to love good light. 

A podcast I listen to had a catchphrase around 15 years ago that has stuck with me all this time. It is simple and gives away the secret to successful portrait photography:

“Find the light and put ’em in it.”

Although this photograph is not a portrait, when it comes to it, after all these years, all I’m looking for is nice light.

The BLOG:

Monday night’s public holiday lack of traffic (at least where I was), had me arriving at the factory where our band practices nearly an hour early. I couldn’t be bothered going through the routine of moving everything out of the way of the door and climbing over engine parts (The band room is in the rear half of a factory shared with a motorsports business) to get in, so I decided to take my camera for a quick walk through the industrial area. I’m sure a couple of the images I took will eventually make it here to the website, but the biggest takeaway for me was the enforced relaxation of casually strolling through an area, camera and 50mm lens in hand, taking photographs of random things that caught my eye.

I really need to do that more.

Thanks as always for reading. I really appreciate your time and attention. If you like what I and or/how I write and you have not already done so, please consider joining the Facebook Group.
