Koala


Koala

so I'm getting back onto the blog wagon, it's been awhile. Part of the reason is that I have been on Flickr for a little bit now and am finding that I am spending a lot of (if not too much) time on there, but part of that is because I like looking at all the neat pictures.

I'm drawn to a lot of them because of their technical excellence, with great lighting, great subjects, perfect lighting, great framing, etc etc. Thats because I'm usually such a perfectionist myself, that I find it very nice to find people who are as picky about what they will put out on Flickr as I would be. THe other reason is that of course, I want to improve my own skills, and what better way than to find inspiration from others.

The other pictures that I am drawn to are like the one here, of this (presumably) tired koala (literally) just hanging out in the tree, sleeping. Its not the greatest picture of course, its a bit grainy, low res, etc. But even given the limitations of the camera that was used, I like the fact that Julio (one of my contacts) still framed right, etc etc. Even more important than that, I definitely "feel" a story in the picture. Its a cute koala, and shows him (Her?) getting to do something that sometimes we wish we could do. I like this picture :) So I decided to make it the first post of my new and improved blog.
