Kirislin Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 Kirislin do you by any chance live with a camera around your neck? Your photos always look so spontaneous :) :laugh: they are always spontaneous. I rarely plan a shot, I'm very much a happy snapper with a brilliant camera, but at least I realise my limitations. I'm forever getting people asking me to take photos for them because they think I'm a photographer, and I always refuse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tdierikx Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 Tip for anyone going to Taronga Zoo - if you have a camera around your neck with a big white Canon lens on it, this seems to be the indicator for all happy snappers to hand you their own cameras (or even worse - their iPhones!) and want you to take photos of them with Sydney Harbour in the background... *sigh* T.

teekay Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 I think you have a great talent Kirislin... and a great eye... T. I agree, I love your photos Kirislin.

grumpette Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 kirislin you do have a natural talent and an ability to capture the moment in a stunning composition. It has taken me four tries to get a watermelon shot like yours and I am no where near getting the right shot. I am beginning to think that you cannot photograph Rottweilers eating with elegance :laugh: This is my latest attempt taken today. Dee eating watermelon in the backyard. Not delicate at all 5/52 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirislin Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 (edited) thanks girls. I wasn't fishing for compliments but they're much appreciated. Photography is still a hobby for me. I see others who started at roughly the same time as I did and have moved on to become professional, Ruthless, Becandcharch, Serena and Huga are good examples and so I ask myself sometimes why haven't I. It's just not in me. Oh and Grumpette, I love your watermelon shot. I love seeing dogs eating fruit and veggies.

huga Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 thanks! I know I dont have a natural talent, like say, Huga, but I have fun with it. Yeah you do. Being a professional is overrated anyway, the market is completely saturated and there's always the danger that you end up hating what you used to love, because you start to view it as work. 5/52 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirislin Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 5/52 The mad house that is my house. The termites are swarming and they're all in my house so I invited Blondie in to clean them up. I think they're coming in from outside, I sure hope so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
