Light and shadow, line and form. The Sun in the "wrong" place for a photograph, and a palette almost destitute of colour. This is image making my way. (Walking the new tram-lines in Sydney's centre, mid-Winter).

Capturing the image from a low level, and angling the lens upward, is a good way to contrast the subject against a bare sky. In this capture, rather than the subject taking centre place, and being surrounded by the sky and earth, I have instead let the blank sky take centre place, and it is framed between the subjects of person and structure. I think this makes a more refreshing composition.

Peaceful morning at Sydney University. This shot was taken using pinhole photography. Instead of glass lenses, the focusing device is a piece of metal foil with a pin-hole in it. (That's all!). The diameter of the hole is about the same as the thickness of a piece of paper. The soft and dreamy look is typical of pinhole work.

The city provides a painting-like backdrop for the human form. Shot from the taxi rank at Central Station. This is not a true silhouette, because there is shading and detail. The woman is standing under an awning, and the background was purposely over-exposed, to give this effect.

When people think of Sunsets, they often think of ocean or mountain vistas. For me, the city Sunsets are still the best. A sign of the Summer to come.
