Painted 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.
The King – Basking in the Sun by Leanne Lindsay
Getting in nice and close to see all the detail in this majestic face. I also love the way he was resting on his paw and enjoying the sun. The King, so majestic, yet so peaceful. It was amazing to be up so close to this amazing animal. He wasn't the least bit bothered by me. He must have had a full belly. I struggle sometimes to capture the detail in a photograph so with this one, I was focusing on the detail - the way he was leaning on his paw, the way his eyes were closed so peacefully, the way the sun lit up his golden mane. Perfection!
Cute But not Always by Karthick Saravanan
During the photo walk in the streets of Kannagi Nagar, Chennai, I captured a poignant scene of an elderly woman selling fish, with a vigilant cat nearby eagerly awaiting its share. The sharpness and intensity of the cat's gaze, focused keenly on the fish, prompted me to frame the shot, ensuring clearness and depth in the background.
