Prints on Show #3

Having dabbled in exhibiting one or two of my photographs here and there during the past few years, I decided about twelve months ago to stage a more comprehensive exhibition of my prints on show. The first step was to book a space and the second was to decide on a theme – the first being easier than the second. The result is a month long exhibition during March to the opening of which all my readers are invited

VIC2021: The Walks – Murrindindi River Cascades

Having completed the Boroondara Track in the Murrindindi Scenic Reserve and our walking club colleagues having left to drive home, we decided to take an early evening drive from our campground to the Cascades, about 10 minute ascending drive to the south, where there is a short walk from the Picnic Area to the rather impressive Cascades. However, having completed the walk, I think it would be better described as a climb!

Visiting: Kirkness

 

During May 2019, I was staying in Kinross, Scotland, with my brother on a visit to see my elderly mother who lived in Kirkcaldy. It was on one of the journeys between the two towns that I noticed what looked like a number of abandoned and derelict buildings on the top of a hill.

Compressing Time

I am sure you have seen those amazing videos of clouds scudding across the skies, of shipping arriving and departing port in no time at all and of buildings being built in as short a time as 5 minutes. And you will no doubt realise that these are created from a series of individual photographs taken at intervals over the duration of the project or activity.

Visiting: Turpin Falls

Having visited Turpin Falls a couple of months ago to find it dry without any water running (see banner image), it was added to my many places to revisit. The pre-requisite, of course, was that there had to have been significant rainfall to result in a decent flow. So, on Saturday morning, I reckoned that the weather had produced enough rain and set out for the falls, with the hope that the rain would clear to allow me to take a few photographs.

Visiting: Macallan Distillery

On a recent trip to back to Scotland, I went on a very short road trip, the primary objective of which was to visit the newly completed Macallan Distillery. Having viewed the video of the new facility under construction, this has been on my list of ‘must sees’ for the last year and it certainly did not disappoint.

A question of copyright

The internet is a mixed blessing. One the one hand it provides everyone with ready access to an amazing range of information and knowledge, but on the other hand it makes it much easier for users to illegally download and use content.

Communicating business

As explained in my post ‘Attention grabbing communication’, a great image plays an essential role in promoting a business. For some businesses such as architects and designers this can be very subtle by presenting images of past projects in various portfolio formats and specifically in bids for new work.

However for other businesses images can be used in a more direct manner and can vary in terms of the messages they are portraying.
