Light. The Reason Why--

Light is the reason we can see.. light is the reason photography exists.. light is the reason why everything on our planet is unique and special and at some point in time becomes amazing... to be there when these things we photograph become amazing is hard but here i will show you some light.



As I was exploring through a national park I looked up and saw these dead trees creating this grim finger looking structure.. I thought to myself thats cool.. I kept walking.. hours later this thin band of cloud came over and the light changed.. it was bizzare.. I came back to this spot and looked up again and went yep.. click. Unique light.



Driving around my area this bright orange light searing across the sky and I thought of this place in Mt Cotton that could be high enough to get some of this light action. From the brightest yellow to the warming orange to a cool blue.. Light doing its thing in a late afternoon. Again not an amazing photo but a unique light.



Man made light. With Brisbane's river fire doing it's thing, man made light made to entertain and awe. 


Exploring Brisbane and finding things fun to photograph can be hard. But on an adventure driving around Fortitude valley I took a wrong turn and kept driving.. looked down a driveway to find a small church in the middle of The Valley with virgin mary praying out the front.. ha.. cool.. as I approached the statue thinking how would I go about making this look unique.. again.. thin cloud cover helped the moons light create a halo look behind Mary.. any other night and the moon would be in a different position or the clouds would be thicker or not existent. Moon light helping create.


As I set about finding people to photograph for my assessment I was driving down Coronation drive looking around, I looked to the river and saw on the other side a small explosion of fire.. I kept watching.. rings of fire started spiralling in a formed way. Yesss a fire twirler! I had to back track 5kms to get to him. In a very dark park on the rivers edge he was practising. With no other light around it was a slow shutter but boom. a creation from the dark. With only his face and hands lit I don't think I could have asked for anything more to help me.
