When the Light Hits the Buildings by Leanne LindsayWhen the Light Hits the Buildings by Leanne Lindsay
I am fortunate enough to have this view from my apartment and get to look at it every day. Throughout the day, as the light changes, the buildings change colour. Sometimes, they are like a city of gold, and at other times, they are a stunning white. This particular afternoon I looked up from my laptop at just the right time and saw this stunning light hitting the buildings. Of course, I grabbed my camera and raced outside to take some photos.

It was recently Valentines Day in Australia and the tradition is that women are given flowers by their partner, and my husband didn't disappoint. I think he expected I would put them in a vase and display them but I had other plans for these. I grabbed my camera, pulled the beautiful bunch of flowers apart and used the flowers as subjects for some creative still-life photography.

My husband surprised me with the most stunning bouquet this particular afternoon! Gerberas filled the vase with bursts of color, and I knew I had to capture their beauty and I can't resist a little creative challenge!
Instead of the traditional vase shot, I decided to deconstruct the arrangement and play with individual blooms. Soft afternoon light streamed through the window, casting a soft glow on the delicate petals. I arranged them on a simple white background, letting the vibrant colors take center stage.
Focusing on individual flowers allowed me to capture the intricate details. It was a fun and creative way to appreciate the beauty of these blooms.
