After 5 o’clock in the afternoon, if the weather is sunny, the sunlight falls through the buildings aesthetically. It is now possible to find different shots using the play of light and shadow. If there is light, there is shadow. They complement each other.
Like this photograph taken at Paulista Avenue, where the human factor is reduced, and even the sun’s heat finds it difficult to describe his nature.
On a family holiday to Tasmania, we decided to hike through a beautiful rainforest to a spectacular waterfall. Half of the family turned back during the walk as it was quite a hike, but my eldest grandson and I decided to push on. The rainforest we were walking through was thousands of years old but bore the scars of gold mining – old, abandoned mine shafts, leftover pieces of tram tracks, and abandoned mining equipment littered the rainforest. However, the rainforest was taking back its territory; the tram tracks were disintegrating and had moss and lichen growing over them. I used this opportunity to teach my grandson about the destructive nature of mining and how we must preserve our rainforests and native vegetation. I am also teaching him photography, so I set the camera up on a tripod, set the timer, and took this photo. It was one of those moments you want to remember.
