It’s a bit sad to realise that after… six days of photographing ‘Aspects of My Life,’ I’m running out of material.
To counter this, my lens ventured a bit further afield and I sort of tried to capture movement – you know that blurred effect? I tried to capture cars going passed while sitting at a robot (that’s what we call traffic lights in South Africa). I wasn’t very successful.
I realised I haven’t quite gotten to grips with this aperture concept yet but, on the up side, I can identify where the problem lies and rectify it.
So, I took photos in the car, and also a photo of a pine tree that actually looked like a Christmas tree, with lights. And of our street in surburbia because the trees are all green and pretty – yayz to early summer.
And then I noticed one of the things I have noticed every year at this time – the carport. Because of the sun’s angle and the colour of the shade net, when we come home every evening, there is a really stunning glow coming through into the carport.
Well, I finally took that photograph I have always promised myself I will take.
Voila! I didn’t realise I still have so much to learn – getting the balance right tonight was a bit of a mission.
