Drawing and painting with a camera in Melbourne


I'm in wonderful Melbourne for a few days staying at my wonderful friends Belinda and John Young's. We are heading off to Tasmania on Monday for a couple of months. I visited Melbourne last year and spent a child free 5 nights at Belinda's place, you can read all about it here. Belinda and I started a photographic project called 'Explore the Line' as we drove to the Dandenongs for the day.
We visited the Dandenongs again today, so I picked up on where I left off. I started taking these blurry shots of the city sky scape's, last year adjusting my shutter speed to a slow 0"4 and using the overcast sky as a backdrop for lines and structures. I am trying to use the camera as a tool pen/paintbrush and create lines, marks, drawings and paintings

Candy,
they are like looking through a dense layer of mist. Beautifully atmospheric. Almost romantic. Can't wait to see what results from this trip.
Cheers Sharon
