Spring by Leanne Lindsay
My husband surprised me with the most stunning bouquet this particular afternoon! Gerberas filled the vase with bursts of color, and I knew I had to capture their beauty and I can't resist a little creative challenge!
Instead of the traditional vase shot, I decided to deconstruct the arrangement and play with individual blooms. Soft afternoon light streamed through the window, casting a soft glow on the delicate petals. I arranged them on a simple white background, letting the vibrant colors take center stage.
Focusing on individual flowers allowed me to capture the intricate details. It was a fun and creative way to appreciate the beauty of these blooms.
Sip of Daisies by Leanne Lindsay
My husband surprised me with a sweet little bunch of daisies this afternoon! Their cheerful faces always brighten my day, and I couldn't wait to get creative with them. Instead of a traditional vase arrangement, I decided to have some fun and capture their beauty in a unique way. This Coca-Cola can caught my eye - the bright red contrasted perfectly with the white daisy petals. I popped a simple arrangement in the can, tilting it slightly for a touch of whimsy. The vivid blue background added another pop of color, making the daisies the real stars of the show. Using natural light streaming through the window, I captured the soft texture of the daisy petals and the vibrant green center. This photo is a reminder that beauty can be found in the simplest things. A few daisies in a repurposed can - a touch of nature reclaiming something man-made. Even the most ordinary objects can be transformed into something creative with a little imagination.
James Craig -150 Years by Leanne Lindsay
On this day, I had gone into Sydney on the ferry in the hopes of taking some street photographs. On the harbour, in the distance, I could see a boat spraying up water. I didn't take much notice of it but after an hour or so, I started getting curious and paid it more attention. The boat started getting closer and I could see an armada of sail boats of various ages and characters heading towards me. It was then I realised that this parade was to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the James Craig. This magnificent sailing ship was built in Sunderland, England, and launched on 18 February 1874. In her early life James Craig carried cargo far and wide, rounding Cape Horn 23 times. She is Australia's oldest working tall-ship.
