Weekly-Prompts:…Artistry

~~~~~

~~~~~~~

~~~~~

artistry

creative skill or ability.

I have been told on more than one occasion that

my artistic flair for photography

is more luck the skill.

Both of these images have an element of luck

involvd in capturing them, however, there is

also a degree of skill involved in my opinion.

This image was a handheld shot.

Many times I have seen people swooning over

blurry images, similar to this one, simply because

 the photographer did not know how

to capture the subject.

this week it is not the trees, but rather

the focus is on the sky.

I decided to stick to Aussie favourites for his week’s challenge.

Griffin Gully Pier with the sky colours reflected in the water.

Again reflections and colours.

The pier, above, is just to the left.

 

 

The sun is just a picture as it endeavours to remain in bed. 

Reminds me of our boys when they were teens and

I wanted half an hour’s assistance on a Saturday morning.

It always took an hour to get them out.

Point Lonsdale Lighthouse

Sundown at Point Lonsdale Lighthouse

from the end of the Pier.

The first time I ever tried smoothing the water.

The 12 Apostles on a 44 Degree Celsius day

 

I love the colours of the sand, foam and aqua water.

It is obviously being enjoyed by this beach goer.
