Night photography






We had a night photography excursion into dandenong we went to Heritage Hill as well as busy Princess Hwy and some streets around dandenong, and had some great outcomes. I took about 100 pictures but only a good 25 were worth keeping. It was only one of the few times that i had done night photography so really is was like a trial. I was also using a new camera that i hadn't had a chance to experiment on, but this night was a good night to see how it worked. Here are a few of the images i liked the most, hope you enjoy them as much as i did taking them.

My fish journal






For one of our assignments our theme was fish, i found it hard to do this assignment as i am not a big fan of dealing with dead living things but i did it and think i didn't do very bad at all. We had to come up with 12 different images showing how the fish was decomposing from the whole fish down to the bones and so on. I chose here are a few of my favorite.

Urban Myth - Resurrection Mary


My Urban Myth was The Resurrection Mary. Mary was a young girl who went out to a dance one night with her boyfriend. She was dressed in a beautiful white ball gown and had her hair up and had very nice shoes on as well . The couple had a fight and Mary decided to leave and started to walk home. On her way home she was hit my a car and was killed. Mary was berried at Resurrection Cemetery which was just down the road from where she had been hit. They say Mary still walks down the road of where she was killed. Truck drivers have reported picking up a lady wearing the same cloths and looking very much like Mary. The truck drivers have said that they pick her up and she doesn't say anything to them she just points up the road towards the cemetery. Once they reach the cemetery she asks to be let out and once she leaves the truck she disappears into the cemetery. And can no longer be found. Also it has been reported that a lady driving past the cemetery saw someone trying to get out of the gates, so she called the police but when they got there, there was no one to be found, but what they did find was on the gates where hand marks like someone had been holding on to them and trying to get out. The gates where replaced on several occasions but every time they would replace them the hand marks would just keep reappearing. They say that Mary doesn't cause any harm to anyone just likes to wonder.

Free time adventures :0)



Photography is a passion of mine and i enjoy heading out taking pictures when i get the chance. My fav spot is down in brighton at the beach houses. The amazing colours and how they complement each other is very beautiful to see. This is the best one i think from this trip. It was a little over cast but i still think its a good image :0)

Stress time!!!!!

As i am sitting here trying to finish everything for tomorrow, the stress levels are high. I normally am the first one to finish work and hand it in before the due date but this year i feel i am always just that one step behind and never can catch up. This year has been hard for me and i feel if it wasnt for what i have delt with i would be more on time and up to date with everything. But at the end of the day we are only human we cant be perfect with everything :0)

This week for the first time i have been proud of what i have drawn, i know i cant draw but on tuesday this week i looked at what i have drawn and i cant believe i did that all on my own. Drawing class used to be "oh no i have drawing today" but now i really enjoy it and i think that that partly is a confidence thing aswell. I am even taking a big leap of faith and now trying to draw my little girl and other things and people, yet 12 months ago i would never have done this. So i now say i can draw it might not be perfect but i can, instead of saying i cant draw when really i can :0)
