Silence is true wisdom's best reply.

Ezra impersonates Clint Eastwood. Mount Wellington, Hobart. April 2012. I figure that for today's Sunday Top Five we may as well try and be useful. Today I present to you My Top Five Quick And Easy Tips To [Hopefully} Take Better Photographs! Go to where the picture is! Be prepared to get your knees dirty for the sake of a shot. Get down on the ground, climb up a tree, squat low and reach up high. Like a lot of things in life, even the most ordinary thing can look far more interesting from a different angle or a different perspective. Don't fixate on the centre! If you're wondering why your photos might all look a bit 'the same', it could be that you are always focusing on the centre of the shot. Don't! Mix up your composition. Try and encourage the observer's eye to follow through the photo by using of strong lines or patterns. It's not always about the thing in the middle. Know where your light is! Light can make or break a picture....

Ambition should be made of sterner stuff.

If you don’t mind the hubris, I quite like this photo. Henry, Ezra, Jennifer and I popped down for a stroll a couple of Sunday’s ago on Bellerive Beach. As usual, we kept an eye out for Noahs , but the real action was in the subtle interplay between sky and sand, light and dark. Expect more.
