What a day! With the big kids at school and the little boys in daycare, husbs and I decided to travel to the "big city" aka "Brisvegas" and wander around playing with our new lenses and just generally hanging out doing what we love...taking photos! Today I wanted to not necessarily get out of my comfort zone but I had an itch that I needed to be scratched and that itch was abstract. I wanted to capture an image that was out of context...well Brisbane brought it on and I hope I gave her (yes of course Brisbane is a her) justice.
During the week Brisbane is jam packed with workers etc and so forth so taking abstract images without people in them was going to be a hard task but we did try our hardest...including being thrown out of an arcade for taking photos of the pretty decorations...terrorist alert...NOT! It's okay we did got quietly. I do find it interesting that someone with a small point-and-shoot camera can take photos of anything, anywhere but someone with a larger DSLR and larger lens will be seen and questioned. It is sad...death by christmas decoration...
...the security guard was only doing his job...but seriously if I was going to be a terrorist I wouldn't be using a large camera...I'd be a lot more sneaky...I am thinking anyway!
Back onto a more positive note Brisbane was in fine form and as beautiful as always. I love Brisbane...can't exactly quantify why and don't necessary think I need to but I love her all the same and here's a few images that hopefully show my appreciation and love for my city of birth.
I love my new lens and everytime I go to Brisbane there's so much to see and capture and appreciate.
