A question I seem to ask myself quite a lot these days is – “where is my next photograph coming from?”
It’s not that I am not motivated to go out and take photographs, or because I have no idea of where to go to take photographs.
I ask myself where is my next photograph coming from because I am still semi-immobilized and don’t have the physical ability to go out and hike the countryside or tramp through the bush to capture images.
All my photographs in the short term must come from within the confines of our local park where I can at least manage a 20 to 30 minute walk, or my photographs must come from the roadside whenever we head out in the car…to wherever.
As a result I have been trying t take photographs that allow me to hightlight some of the mundane, everyday things I see around me. Or – as was once said of William Eggleston’s photography – to elevate the everyday. That is a phrase I really like.
Where is my next photograph coming from?
So…where is my next photograph coming from?
…or…I’ll use any excuse to share some of my photographs with you…
Probably from from Queens Park just opposite where I live in Invercargill, which is where Leaves was taken.
Give a photographer a puddle or a pond and he or she will always come up with a reflection photo as per this one of a couple of leaves well past their “best by” date, and reflections of trees surrounding the pond.
Next is a place where I often Take a seat and rest to take a breather.
All of the photographs of the mundane I have posted here were all post-processed inside the DxO Photolab 8 / FilmPack 7 environment.

Meanwhile…back in the park…I grabbed this tree Against the sky.
Same park – different day – different Avenue of trees…
From Queens Park…to the roadside just north of town..
Normally I wouldn’t use a retro-style finish on an image that has modern cars and traffic lights in it…but this still seems to work okay for me on Mens’ hairdresser.
As does this…
And when I had taken Open, I turned around and saw this…
Thanks was a little further up the road…
As was this Derelict shed in a roadside paddock.
