Ivy’s Straw by Leanne Lindsay
Two Ponytails, by Shirren Lim inspired me to take this photograph of a little girl with pig tails enjoying playing with a straw. It was her birthday, and everyone was gathered around to celebrate but she was more interested in playing with the straw. This photograph was taken with my Nikon Z7ii and Sigma Art 24-70mm lens at 62mm, with an aperture of 2.8, a shutter speed of 1/100 seconds and an ISO of 160.
Catherine Hill Bay Jetty by Leanne LindsayCatherine Hill Bay Jetty by Leanne Lindsay
Dive into the rich history and weathered beauty of Wallarah Jetty at Catherine Hill Bay through this compelling photograph. With roots dating back to 1867 when coal was first discovered after the Catherine Hill schooner incident, this jetty has seen the rise and fall of coal mining operations. The New Wallsend Company played a pivotal role, establishing the jetty and opening the mine, marking its first shipment on December 17, 1873. As Wallarah and Moonee collieries closed, the jetty ceased operations in 2002, with maintenance costs reaching $200,000 annually for Lake Coal.
Native Lichen by Leanne LindsayNative Lichen by Leanne Lindsay
We were trecking through the lush rainforest on a recent family adventure to Montezuma Falls in Tasmania when I noticed this Native Lichen up ahead, it up with a beam of light, beckoning me to come forward and take a look. The falls were absolutely breathtaking, cascading down through the heart of the rainforest, they were like something out of a fairytale. But this little patch of lichen fascinated me! Deep in the rainforest, sunlight filters through the canopy, painting the forest floor in emerald and gold. And nestled amongst the moss, these knobby, grayish-white lichen clung to an old log like miniature snow-dusted rocks. They weren't the flashiest things around, but there was something so captivating about their rough-and-tumble texture. I spent ages kneeling there, camera in hand, lost in this tiny universe unfolding beneath my feet.
