All the fun of the fair and getting your balance

Being a professional photographer comes with pressure.  Probably mostly from within.  Not always though.  Do I want to see any bad images out there to reflect my skill or lack of it?

There are always times when photography should come second.  Family time is precious and there are few times as our children grow up that we can spend that quality time together…….. but I must take my camera…… I must…… you never know when that killer shot will show you an opportunity.

Fairgrounds are so much fun, especially as a child (we had three kids with us), the colour is amazing, the speed, the screams, the laughter, the food.  They are great fun to shoot too, but quite challenging.  I wanted to take a few images but still keep the balance with spending some of that quality time together.

A change of perspective and the cold light of day.

At times the life of a photographer can send you to some stunning locations.  I recently found myself working (yes, you heard me, working) in the French Alps to cover a skiing competition.

So rather than show you images of skiers, I thought I would share something else.

I don’t really do many landscapes, although I enjoy them, I find them frustrating most of the time because I am either there in the wrong time or I am simply unable to stop and take the photo.  Comes with rushing around doing other things I suppose.

Cool water 01

Not typical landscapes and not the same as I have done in the past (I do have some examples on my website http://www.LIMEfotographic.com).  This time I was interested in the fast flowing water, the fresh snow and ice sitting on the rocks and the at times abstract nature.

Specifically looking for long exposures, a good tripod was a must and the help of a local (well kind of a local, an American, or Texan, if he had his way), we went exploring a small stream looking for interesting shots.

I have experimented with some different post production ideas and was inspired to be bold by this same ‘local’ who showed me some of his own work.

Like always, like it or loathe it, the work should speak for itself.  You decide.
