Right There

I've been thinking about how I was going to write these posts every morning, and it's just not working so well. I keep having things to do in the mornings, or places to be, and things are generally too crazy to get this posted up at the same time so I think I'm going to make it that I write these up the night before and schedule them to post in the mornings, like I mostly have been doing. It seems to be working so far, anyway!

Soldier statue pointing at memorial:

Brisbane's ANZAC Square is filled with statues devoted to the Australian & New Zealand Army Corps. Sometimes, if you move around to view them from a different angle, it really changes things a lot.

A friend and I used to meet up in ANZAC Square occasionally, and I took this on one of those days, as I waited for her to arrive. I love that moving just a few feet around from where one sits to view this statue makes it look as though he is pointing to the monument above (with the always burning flame in rememberance).

I adjusted the focal length and the exposure time on this, zoomed in a fair bit, then crouched with my camera balanced upon the edge of a seat-back in order to capture this.

Edges: Sectioned

No post this morning -- my laptop's been having a few troubles so I let him rest overnight, didn't turn him back on 'til I got home from my appointments today.

Statue in ANZAC Square, Brisbane:

Edges and lines fascinate me, photographically speaking, as does the way something takes on a whole new light when we look at it a little bit differently, or when we look at it out of context. This part of one of the statues in Brisbane's ANZAC Square really spoke to something in me. I took the photo, part of my "Edges" series, using the Macro setting.
