I’ve been taking a lot of portrait oriented photos lately – I’m not sure if it’s just because the subjects tend to suit it, or if it’s just my subconscious relishing freedom after 365 days of predominantly landscape ones?! Yay for colour – I’ve been stalking it, and seem to have a thing for orange and blue at the moment. Odd! One of these images has been on my list for longer than I care to remember (yay for public holidays when no-one is at work!) and the rest are just happy discoveries… mostly. The red/yellow/blue fire hose reel is a pain – I’ve been back three times to try and photograph it in the light I first saw it in (but didn’t take a photo – argh! There were people standing nearby)… this is at 7am, and I needed to be there earlier than that. I’ve also been there at 6:45, but it wasn’t right either! To get there is a 6km /10 minute drive, so I’ve given up for the time being. Oh, it’s a tough life as a perfectionist! (!!!)
