This is portrait #18 in my Human Family project.Nuno Pereira has been actively contributing to the DevOps community with a blog series on his Joureny of CI/CD. Thanks Kealy for contributing to the Human Family Project. Kealy and her friend ( I think his name was Aidan) are both amateur photographers, but Kealy’s real passion is for dance and I could see her face light up as she spoke about it becoming her career. No reflector again but the light was reasonably good so I’m pleased with the wind swept result. Kealy sheepishly said yes and we quickly shot a few frames with the stone wall as the background. We chatted about what they were shooting and what we were doing which created the perfect segway to ask for a photo. One thing led to another and I stopped to speak to Kealy and her friend. I mistakenly thought she was trying to take a candid of me and so I playfully stopped to pull a face, but she was actually trying to get a photo of the street vendor selling flowers…oops! It was then that I noticed a young couple, both with cameras in hand, shooting from a bench on the side walk onto the street. So we were heading up Swanston Street as Neil led us to the much sought after red wall outside the Vodafone shop. I didn't have a reflector with me so I have had to lighten Sharon's eye area a little in Lightroom, as it was a touch dark for my taste.

But this camera is so lovely and compact - I can finally carry it around every day if I like! I need to get used to it and the slightly different way it works (I forgot where to change the ISO and I didn't want to fumble and make Sharon wait, so I left it at 2000.

Tech details: this is the first portrait I have taken with my new Fuji X-T10 camera with the 35mm 1.4 lens - it's a crop sensor so the look of the images is similar to my usual 50mm portraits on the full frame Canon. Thank you, Sharon, for stopping despite the rush! Sharon is a curator and knows a lot about art as such she also does some photography (no pressure, right?). I love the vibrancy of Sharon's hair and scarf against the muted alleyway tones - I was lucky that one of the best alleys for photography was seconds from where we started talking ) She only had a few minutes as she was a little bit late already to a friend's exhibition nearby, but was up for a portrait! I therefore tried a few different poses for her and this one, with a slightly candid feel to it, was my favourite. I spotted this lovely colourful lady, Sharon, while on my way home today. Remember that life is always beautiful, it really is.ĭahlia - Delux Jewelry Set Kustom9 ✈ Taxiįind me on: Facebook | Instagram | Website & Photo blogįind out more about this project and see pictures taken by other photographers at the 100 Strangers Flickr Group page I just know that this journey will take a bit to get to but I promise it's worth it. So if you haven't taken that step, please join me in the start of it. Sometimes it really does feel like we are against the world itself, but if we take one step forward I just know that it will get easier.

Running from the negativities that have kept me trapped for so long and also just loving this second chance I've given myself. ( we will bring him up a little later hehe) Running really from the world itself. In this picture you see me running, from my little baby crow. I just like to showcase my emotions, because thats who I really am. To be honest, I've really missed these candid shots. Recently, I've found myself writing again, and also have found myself in a joy of pictures actually. I've gone from ups and downs but it seems that I've found myself once again. Haha.Īnyways, my lovely friends its seriously has been a bit since I wrote to you directly. Like they always say, team work makes the dreamwork. if it's not happy let's definitely make it happen together. Happy Tuesday wherever you are at in the world today.
