Sail the Seven Seas by Leanne LindsaySail the Seven Seas by Leanne Lindsay
Will you sail the seven seas with me? The rain was putting on a steady performance outside my window this afternoon, and I felt a surge of creative energy. It was the perfect opportunity to take out my camera and play with some of its features I hadn't quite gotten around to yet. I also had this idea for a photo that had been brewing for a while, and today felt like the right day to bring it to life!
So, I grabbed an old book and a well-loved paper boat, the kind I used to make as a kid. Strangely enough, when I opened the book randomly, it happened to open up to an ancient map of the world. I arranged the book and boat on a table near the window, letting the soft, diffused light from the rain-covered sky bathe them in a gentle glow.
Focusing on a shallow depth of field helped blur the background and really make the paper boat the star of the show, creating a miniature world for the little paper boat to sail in.
Laughing Clowns by Leanne LindsayLaughing Clowns by Leanne Lindsay
I have had a fear of clowns from when I was a small child. It's not just a fear, it's a phobia. To try to get over this phobia, whenever I am in Sydney, I try to go to Luna Park and photograph clowns at every opportunity. These ones were a safe option, as they weren't actually 'real' clowns, but I don't think it's helping. In fact, I think they're just laughing at me.
