Embark on a mesmerizing journey through the Sydney Harbor in this captivating photograph featuring a small boat adorned with flashing lights passing by the iconic Sydney Opera House. I've skillfully employed a deliberate slow shutter speed of 30 seconds, artfully capturing the enchanting blur of the ferry lights, creating a dynamic and immersive visual experience. The frame also reveals the subtle dance of another ferry's blurred lights emerging from behind the Sydney Opera House to the left, adding depth to the composition.

Wandering through the vibrant flowerbeds at Auburn Botanic Garden, these clusters of purple caught my eye! Their rich color instantly drew me in, and I knew I wanted to capture their beauty. To really make these beauties pop, I focused on using a shallow depth of field. This technique keeps the front flowers nice and sharp, while blurring the background into a dreamy bokeh effect. I love how it creates a sense of depth and draws the viewer's eye right into the center of the frame.
The blurred background hints at the abundance of flowers throughout the garden, while the sharp foreground lets you appreciate the delicate details of these purple blooms.
Confusion by Leanne LindsayConfusion by Leanne Lindsay
In the dark, abandoned tunnels below Sydney, people try to find their way, but the light is confusing for it does not give direction but shines in all directions while still not giving off enough light to show the way. The people stop to get their bearing, to find their way, but it is hopeless. The harshness of the lights and shadows forbodes the stark and unfriendly world they find themselves in. The darkness is oppressive, and it seems to close in on the two people who are walking through the tunnel. The shadows are menacing, and they suggest that there is something dangerous lurking in the darkness. The light from the bulbs is not enough to dispel the darkness, and it only makes the shadows seem more frightening.
