An opportunity to learn

photography

Dove Lake on a misty morning

This year I made the decision that I would extend my creative self and get in touch with my creator once again, by going on a new learning journey.  A learning journey into bettering what I see behind the lens of my camera.  This is the first of many photos I’m yet to take.

Will & I escaped to Cradle Mountain for a weekend not quite a month ago and it was a delight to take my camera with me sans kids saying “hurry up” or “why are you stopping again mum” or “it’s just a tree”.  This photo of Dove Lake was taken on an early misty Saturday morning, I had hoped for a stunning sunrise but instead found myself trying to make the most of a rather cold and foggy day. I’m really happy with what I learnt in the preparation, taking and post production of this photo.

The experience has certainly had a profound affect on me which is spilling over into other areas of my life in a positive way.  I’m looking forward to more opportunities like this one to chase the “perfect picture” and learn something new in the process.
