Fishing on the Harbour by Leanne Lindsay
I love the energy of street photography - the unexpected moments, the stories waiting to be captured. This afternoon, I found myself drawn to a bustling spot along the Sydney Harbour foreshore. Crowds ambled by, enjoying the afternoon sun, but my eye caught something unique - a family setting up fishing rods! Intrigued I don't know why, but I never considered you could fish in Sydney Harbour. I waited patiently as they baited their hooks and cast their lines. The harbour, usually a domain of ferries and sailboats, suddenly seemed like a whole new world. Mustering my courage, I approached them, camera in hand. Explaining I was a street photographer, I asked if I could capture them in action. They were friendly and happy to chat. Turns out, they're regulars here, and despite the harbor traffic, they often have a good haul! This photo captures the essence of that unexpected encounter. The family relaxed and focused, their lines cutting through the vibrant blue water. The backdrop of the Sydney Opera House fading into the background adds a touch of iconic grandeur.
A Sky Of Limbs by Jack Hoye
This photo was taken using Apple iPhone during the autumn of 2017 and features a view of the limbs of a tree from below. I was very intrigued by how the natural light and the leaves from the tree visually interacted with one another and felt compelled to capture the moment.
The Gathering Ground by Tetsuhiro Umemura
This is Mount Osore, which is said to be the place where the dead gather. It is a very snowy place and can only be visited during the warmer months. It is also said that the concentration of sulfur in this area is so high that machinery will become unusable in a short period of time. I took this photo with an iPhone because LEICA is risky.
