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.
Painted Silos by Leanne LindsayPainted Silos by Leanne Lindsay
Out and about exploring around NSW with my camera in hand, we came across these Painted Silos at The Foundations, Portland (about 40 minutes west of Lithgow). The silos were painted in April and May 2018 by artist Guido Van Helten. The six individuals represented in the artwork are all former employees who shared their recollections of working at the Portland Cement Works and how their lives have been impacted by the industry in their town. You will see painted silos all around Australia - they make a great canvas for artists. My dream is to photograph all of them eventually.
