Blue Mountains Photographer: 'Training day at Firestation!'

Our group meeting organised to come and shoot during a training day at 

Wentworth Falls Fire Station (Thank you Caroline!) 

I couldnt stay very long but it was lots of fun.  This is my take of those I prefer the most.  

Thank you to the friendly staffs for being our 'models' for the afternoon :).

What do you think ?

(Notre group-meeting de photographes a organise' une sortie pour photographier une des stations pompiers du coin pendant un entrainement.  Je ne suis pas reste' longtemps, mais c'etait bien sympa.

Voila celles que j'ai retenues dans ma gallerie de photo. 

Merci a l'equipe d'avoir pose' si gracieusement  :)

Have a good day !

Bonne journee !

Blue Mountains Photographer: 'Mount Victoria Railway Station'

I always had a thing for old and historical buildings/locations and one that fascinates me is

Mount Victoria Railway Station which has also its own museum!

The museum is set in sixteen rooms of the heritage listed 1868 Mount Victoria Railway Station. It is part of the railway to the west which was built across the rough terrain of the Blue MOuntains.

For more informations and  history on Mount Victoria, click HERE or have a visit !

Open on w-ends from 12noon - 3pm and school holidays

Have a good week !
Bonne semaine !

Blue Mountains Photographer: 'Artist painting'

I drive everyday pass our little bus-stop in Medlow bath and was always wondering what sort of artwork will be done. (It was left for a while in white paint (in preparation of the work) but nothing was done due to the wet weather) and was thinking how long it will be left that way as it is often subject of tagging/graffitis.  Then I suddenly could see a bit of colour happening until one day, I stopped by and had a chat with the artist painting it.  

I thought I might have seen her locally and sure enough, is an artist of Blackheath.

It was very nice to have a talk with her and allowed myself to get some shots 'in action'.

Great job you've done Lindena Robb !

Our bus-stop looks so much better now and very colourful! :)

Bonne journee !

Have a good day !

Blue Mountains Photographer: High tea at the Hydro Majestic

Good morning everyone...

What a busy 1st and 2nd week-ends of November I had !  The iconic Hydro Majestic Hotel opened part of their premises such as the Wintergarden room for their High Tea packages which included  a photo memory taken by... ME ! 
So exciting to be part of this, have met lots of new people, and talked to a lot of people with interesting stories of their past experiences at the Hydro.
(I also had a taste of their high tea and... so delish !)
I should be back taking photos on some week-ends when they open fully mid-december so come and check it out yourself too ! Definitely the new jewel of the Blue mountains !

(Bonjour tout le monde... J'ai eut le premier et deuxieme week-end de Novembre super charge'.

Blue Mountains Photographer: 'Renewal of wedding vows'

Good morning everyone !  It just seems that time just flies and I lean to miss posting things here... I have been more active on the Facebook field but I will try to do more updates specially for those who are not on facebook.

I have been very busy this week shooting the theme of 'Love'.  

Here is Susan and Chris who are celebrating their anniversary in the Blue mountains and have opted for a lovely and intimate  do.  The weather was so uncertain with some rain... and some stormy clouds which made for some interesting photos before the real storm hit the area.

It was lovely to capture this special moment for you,

Happy anniversary Susan and Chris !

(Bonjour a tous et toutes ! que le temps passe si vite... j'ai tendance a moins poster ici mais j'essaierais de mon mieux de le mettre a jour pour ceux qui ne sont pas sur Facebook.

J'ai eut une semaine tres prise pour des shoots sur le theme de 'L'Amour'.

Voici Susan et Chris qui celebrent leur anniversaire de mariage dans les Montagnes Bleues et ont opte' pour une petite ceremonie tres intime.  Le temps etait assez tumultueux entre la pluie et de l'orage en prevision mais j'ai pu toutefois capturer des photos tres interessantes avec les gros nuages avant que l'orage arrive sur les lieu.

Heureux anniversaire de mariage pour Susan et Chris !

Have a lovely week !
Bonne semaine !

Blue Mountains Photographer: 'Portrait de la Lune' - Portrait of the Moon

Oh my gosh, this is ridiculous ! I have neglected this blog again ! and it will be too difficult to catch-up !  I do spend a lot more time on FAcebook though (as we all do lol!)

Last week I shot the full moon...
I love how she looked at me and gave me  her best angle...

C'est serieusement ridicule ! Je neglige ce blog encore une fois ! Et je pense que cela sera tres difficile de tout rattraper ! Je passe beaucoup trop de temps sur Facebook (comme tout le monde n'est-ce pas ?

La semaine derniere, j'ai capture' la pleine lune... 
J'adore comment elle s'est prise au jeu et m'a donne' son plus bel angle...

Blue Mountains Photographer: 'Autumn girl'

Hi everyone.... We are in changing seasons and looking at the gorgeous redish/orangy 

leaves falling around me, inspired me to do the 'Four Seasons' and of course, 

its the right time to capture 'Autumn'.

After I gathered bits and pieces for my 'Autumn' shoot, it turned more like 

an oriental look but still quite like it !

Bonjour... On change de saison et en voyant les feuilles rouges/oranges tomber autour de moi, m'a inspire' a shooter 'Les quatres saisons' et bien sure, 

c'est le moment ou jamais

de capturer 'L'Automne'.
En rassemblant mes accessoires pour mon shoot 'Automne' cela a plutot 

tourne' vers une touche orientale que j'aime toutefois. 

Qu'en pensez-vous ?

Blue Mountains Photographer: 'Victorian Wedding'

I just love shooting weddings.  Of course, it comes with the high responsibility of
getting the right shots and to capture the most important moment of someone's life
but I so love them. 

They are all so unique, so beautiful and so romantic.

I had the honour to capture a Victorian style wedding last March.
Considering the wet weather prior to the wedding (I mean...literally wet and typical Blue mountains weather for at least 3 weeks!)... can you believe this? It all cleared for the ceremony
for this gorgeous bride and groom.
Congratulations to Anthea and Scott and Thank you for 

choosing me to capture this special moment !

J'adore shooter les mariages.  Bien sure, c'est une grande responsabilite' de capturer le moment le plus important d'un couple, mais j'adore.
Tout les mariages sont uniques, magnifiques et si romantiques.
J'ai eut l'honneur de capturer un mariage de style Victorien en Mars.
Si vous saviez le temps qu'il faisait,  au moins les 3 semaines avant le jour 'J' !

(le climat typique des Montagnes bleues!) ... mais ce fut incroyable 

de voir que le temps 

s'est presque tout eclairci pour la ceremonie.

Felicitations a Anthea et Scott et un grand merci 

de m'avoir permi de capturer ce moment si special !

Thank  you for your comments !
and here is a slide-show to give an overview of the special day

Blue Mountains Photographer: 'Next Exhibition coming up!'

Well... I told you last time that after my very first exhibition last year in October, 

I really, really ... wanted to do this again !!! :)

So when two  Blue Mountains photographers asked me to join them, of course... 

simply couldn't resist !!  

Wendy Watson, Brigitte Grant (myself) and Dilshara Hill present

'Contemplate'

Whilst approaching our art in different ways we share a respect for, and an appreciation of, this vast and delicate land. The images are a reflection of each photographer’s experience in the landscape and the timelessness, the diversity and the preciousness of the natural world.

The viewer is invited to become immersed in this magnificent world of nature,to feel and to think about the beauty that surrounds them, to consider the importance of caring for it and ensuring its sustainability.

So if you're around from 10th May, do stop and come to see our work !

Have a fantastic week !

Blue Mountains Photographer: 'Black Veil Brides'

I am an artist/photographer of many interests and one of them,

of course is  'Music' ! With time (not to mention 'age' :)... my taste changes and mellows but now and again, I do like to get out-there and enjoy some loud music ! 

Couldn't quite make it to 'Soundwaves' this year but got tickets to see the 

Black Veil Brides (sideshow) at the Bald Faced Stag hotel in Sydney.
I saw them two years ago and absolutely loved them !
Such an awesome band !
The energy... the crazyness during the show was simply UN-believable!!
(Well... my ear drums suffered for a day but... so worth it ! :)

(Je suis une artiste/photographe avec plusieurs passions/gouts et 
l'une d'elle est: la musique !
Avec le temps (pour ne pas mentioner l'age :)... mes gouts changent mais 
de temps en temps, 
je me permet (quand meme!) de sortir de mon trou mdr! et d'aller a des concerts!
Je n'ai pas pu aller a 'Soundwaves' cette annee (Festival de music rock) mais j'ai pu avoir des tickets pour aller voir les 'Black Veil Brides' sur Sydney.
Je les ai decouvert il y a 2 ans et je vous dis... ils sont terribles !
Un groupe a tuer ! Encore une fois, je me suis eclate'e 
L'energie qu'il y avait... c'etait vraiment IN-Croyable !!
bon...mes tympans ont pris un grand coup mais je dois dire...cela valait le coup! :)

Cool or what ?? :)

Have a great day !

Blue Mountains Photographer: 'In the woods'

Photo shoot with a style that is...of course totally me !

I love producing images with a 'dark' feel ....with a moody touch and yet with a poetic side to it.
An early morning...just after some rain (yes it does rain a lot lately!) but I thought to take advantage of this because for a 'dark' style,  this kind of weather is just perfect and doesn't give harsh shadows to the subject.  So here we go again to another close-by location. Absolutely thrilled with the results and of course not to mention the model which is so gorgeous too dont you think ? :)

Un shoot qui est evidemment... tout-a-fait mon style a moi !

J'aime donner cette petite ambiance 'dark' a mes photos, avec une touche reveuse et 

toujours un peu poetique. 
Un matin ...juste apres un peu de pluie (hey ben oui, il pleut beaucoup en ce moment!) mais j'ai voulu en profiter parce que pour ce style de photo, ce temps-la est parfait ! 
Alors nous voila encore dans un coin pas trop loin.  J'etais tres contente du resultats et bien sure de mon modele parfait aussi pour ce style !

'In the Woods' ('Dans les bois')
