made it my goal this year to start taking my time and act like I'm shooting with film again ...

Portraits
One thing nice about portrait photography is you're unlikely to ever run out of subjects... each person you meet is a unique subject, we're all different , not just in looks, shapes and size but in personality and character as well. Taking the time to know your subject and see those differences I think is the first step towards a great portrait.

Quick run to the Hunter Valley
Grabbed a few bottles from our favorite winery - Tulloch Wines, great place to visit , really lovely people at the counter too.
Window light on the left and a reading lamp bounced on a white foam core sheet on the right, wine glass in left hand, right hand holding camera ....... camera starting to tilt....

Reflections of yourself?
How much of yourself, your moods, your emotions, your feelings, your thoughts are reflected in the photographs you create? for the last month or so my pictures seem to have taken a more somber bent perhaps reflecting a more somber mood courtesy of the effects of the GFC....
Hmmmm.... maybe I should make myself take happy pictures... could have the inverse effect on the moods :)

Landscape composition
Surfing the net the other day looking for composition guides that were a bit more than the "rule of thirds", "the golden mean" etc, etc... anyway found this set of 23 "rules" for landscape composition by one Jonannes Vloothuis thats worth a read , its actually a guide for landscape painting, but going through it you can see how it could apply equally as well to photography both when taking the shot and in post processing.

Rule of thirds
When you are shooting, do you conciously think "I'm going to use the rule of thirds for this" or is it something you do unconsiously ...........
