Photographic Inspirations - I

When I was in the process of blogging about our trip to Hong Kong, I had cause to take a look around for good night time photographs to share.
While I was doing that I was fortunate to come across a number of excellent sources of inspiration for my photography. And that led on to looking for more inspiration. Damn that Flickr !

Unfortunately the only time I am currently getting with my camera is the five minutes before work in the morning in which to take updates on my cross stitch (see previous entry).

And let me be clear about this - I am a hack photographer. If I take my time and think about it for a moment, then I can manage to create a reasonable composition. But I'm technically weak, so one of my goals for this year is to get a grip on that aspect of photography.

In the meantime, however, I am on the outlook for inspiration. And I thought it would be selfish of me not to share what I have already found. So here is a taster for you...

• The Eagles are Guarding


• Spider Web Gate


• Nearing the shore


• Yo down there!


• Wharf


• Shing Mun Reservoir


• Lotus


• Kwai Chung Container Terminal (sorry - work related)

Or take a stroll through these albums. I have many favourites here, including İshak Paşa Sarayı, Tokomaru Bay Marae, Sandscape and Jerash.

I hope you enjoyed these too. If you have any inspiration that you want to share just leave a note for me and I'll visit.

And to finish, here is one of my old ones from 1989. It's a pre-digital moment, so cut me some slack for the quality of the scan.
