Day 152

This image was taken from the Eagle's Nest (Hitler's Mountain retreat) on Kehlstein mountain, overlooking Berchtesgaden in Germany. It was such a strange experience being in one of Hitler's houses, knowing I was standing somewhere where he once would have stood. The view was absolutely phenomenal. I played around on lightroom to give this image a dreamscape like feel.

Day 149

We came across some interesting creatures on our voyage through the French Alps. This little guy trotted in front of our car for a while before galloping off into a nearby field. I like the movement in this image and the angle of the shot.

Day 148

We drove past some absolutely beautiful scenery on our driving adventure. I particularly liked the prevalent patterns and colours of the landscapes. I'm not too sure exactly where this was taken, however it was somewhere in France as we were driving from Barcelona up through the French Alps.

There is something supremely intimate and caring about this image. I like the soft tones and pose of the subjects. I also think the angles and positioning is quite interesting.

Day 146

This image was taken from the top of Park Guell in Barcelona. I found the messages on this cactus to be quite interesting. I always like to think of the people who have stood in spots before me. It's always nice to be able to read something that they have left behind.

Day 145

Whilst Barcelona is quite the modern city, the magnetism of it's old world charm cannot go ignored. This setup which I photographed outside of a (you guessed it) scissor shop highlights the eccentricity that Barcelona is well loved for.

Day 144

One of the many things I love about Europe is the fact that the animals are extremely free to roam around. I found this little guy casually drinking from a pond at one of Barcelona's main attractions. I like the angle and composition of this image. There is something sublimely calming about its simplicity.

Day 142

Barcelona has some of the most incredible and down right creepy street performers I have ever seen. This gentlemen was part of a dance troop who were entertaining a large crowd. I had to fight my way to the front to snap this image.

Day 141

There is something almost three dimensional about this image. Taken at yet another Barcelona market, it is as if the fish are still alive and pleading to be saved. I like the soft tones of this image, and how the focus is in the centre of the image.

Day 140

Taken at another market in Barcelona. I love Spanish markets in the sense that they always have items displayed so intricately and delicately, and you really get a taste of Spanish culture. I think the man in this image adds a mysterious element to the photograph.

Day 138

I took this image in Barcelona on a rainy day overlooking the beach. It was so silent as we walked along. Even though there were many people around, I felt as if this was a place to come and ponder. These three gentlemen sparked my interest, so I snapped a few photographs whilst they remained unawares. I adore the composition in this image.

Day 137

I took this image in St Tropez, the playground of the rich and famous. Whilst they were playing, I was sipping (horrible) coffee and photographing the locals playing Boules. I really like the texture and cartoon effect that the trees have. I played around with presets and contrast in Lightroom.

Europe always has the most beautiful, intricately decorated carousels. I really like the use of dark and light space in this image. I think it really sets a mood, and creates a mysterious atmosphere.

Day 134

I took this image at Nice, France.  The subjects of this image are gazing out at the Mediterranean Sea. I overlayed patterns and textures to give it a dream like, three dimensional effect. I would like to expand on this style, and create a series of dream like images focusing on the way certain people see the world.

Day 133

This is the view from our beautiful villa in the south of France. The weather was cold and the view breathtaking. I particularly like the fog on the horizon and the contrast of colours. I played around with lighting and clarity in Lightroom.

Day 131

I took this image in London's St James Park. It was a beautiful (albeit rare) summer day as we wondered through the manicured lawns decorated with scurrying squirrels. I overlayed patterns to create a kind of 3d effect and to enhance contrast and colour.

Day 130

I find the use of dark and light space in this image quite effective. I think the stance of the subject adds a sense of voyeurism and the dark tones around the face add a kind of 3d perspective.

Day 126

I really like the detail in this macro shot and the contrast of the dark blue in the foreground juxtaposed to the light blue in the background. The image itself is an up close shot of my dogs brush. I was attracted to the shape and textures and fine detail.

Day 120

I took this image at Ripley's believe it or not in Surfers Paradise. I'd been wanting to go there for ages and for some reason no one wanted to go with me. After going there.....I now know why! On the whole it was pretty boring. I snapped this little guy in the shrunken head exhibition.

Day 118

I took this image at Robina shopping centre a few hours after the shooting. Parts were cordoned off and people were mindlessly waiting around to see what was happening. A man and a woman got shot by a gunman in one of the phone stores. The woman was an innocent bystander whilst the man was part of a bikie gang in an ongoing feud. The gunman was later caught but the bikie war rages on!

Day 107

I was lucky enough to get an invitation to the Logies this year and see One Direction Perform. If I had of been a 13 year old girl I would have loved tonights performance. However, being a 23 year old woman, and more of a Radiohead fan.....I can't say I was that impressed :p With all the hype I couldn't resist posting this photo!

Day 106

This is my beautiful best friend Irina. I was lucky enough to fly down to Melbourne and spend some time with her over the last few days. I overlayed this photo with an artistic texture on photoshop then bought the opacity down so that the details underneath could be seen.
