The Everything Photo

I have a bad photography habit that I am trying to curb - I usually try to get everything into one shot, as in the photo above. Note the nifty period lamp and the hanging flower baskets, the Legislative Assembly Buildings, the Inner Harbour Lower Causeway, The Inner Harbour crowded with the boats of the currently running Classic Boat Show. And those are just the main items - there's other things there to distract your attention too. I suspect this habit harks back to the days of film when taking photos was an expensive activity and one naturally strove to get as much into each photo as possible. I've made rules for myself such as there should only be a single subject for each photo, and I try to follow them. But still when I come home from a day's photography I always find at least a few of the "everything" photo. It's a hard habit to break.

Isn't this a nice effect? I bought the mirror in fact, I see in it's depths a whole series of photos.... - Fern

Stormy Weather

Victoria has been having some stormy weather of late and while I haven't been lucky enough to get a shot of all the recent lightening, I did witness some amazing 'skyscapes' as the sun was coming up. - Fern

Above Victoria

I'm back from my jaunt across the continents but here's the last view I had of this area before the plane flew eastwards into the night in early March. Although I had a very good and successful trip, as usual it's very nice to be home and to be here for spring. As soon as I'm unpacked and unlagged we'll have a look at some of my favorite springtime scenes here in Victoria.
