Canon run this competition every year at the same time. It's open to anyone and it's free to enter. The prize is a creative photography workshop in New Zealand, accommodation and flights included. A great prize right?
The first open brief is "Reflections".
At first glance, it seems like an easy brief.
Yes, everybody has a decent reflections photo in their collection, but that's the problem. Everybody has a 'similar' reflections shot in their collection.
There have already been hundreds of photos submitted.
The most common seem to be:
Yacht masts in the marina.
Tree reflections in water.
Frogs on glass.
Cats looking out windows.
Ducks or lilies on ponds.
Bridges or piers over still water.
Eyeballs.
Bubbles.
Water droplets.
So not only do you have to think of something original, but you have to set the photo up and execute it perfectly.
I look forward, every year, to this competition, but as soon as it arrives, I stress over it!! Why?? It's not like I have anything to lose!
Ugh!
Anyway I found this little fella in the bush today ...
There were so many little Fairy Wrens making so much noise, I didn't know which direction to look! In the end I just stood very still and he came to me.
Today, I'm grateful for Winter changing into Spring and bringing nature back to life.
Nite all.
