U3A
Back in 2012 & 2013 I joined Martin Young's U3A "Advanced Photography" course;
my goal - to gain a deeper understanding of digital photography. Not only did Martin improve my skills but he introduced me to a hobby that would change my life.
Personal Explorations...
LightSeekers
In 2013 when Martin Young stopped his "Advanced Photography" courses, a group of his students combined to form "LightSeekers" (a Geelong Camera Club special interest group). Under the guidance of Chris, this group organised in-house assignments on a range of topics e.g. Portraiture.... and field trips to varied locations around Geelong. These Onsite PhotoShoots provided an ongoing forum for further developing our skills and knowledge.
Portraiture
JFimages
Quite apart from my interest in i-phone photograph, I enjoy using it as an adjunct to my writings (primarily on my website Fyansford.com).
Wherever possible I incorporate my photos within my online publications.

I realised that on tapping each lower ikon or arrow I was taken to various photographic galleries.
There are three galleries of JFimages:
-
Personal photographs taken during my DSLR days
-
Personal photographs taken during my iPhone days
For me this is a daily photographic 'distraction'.
Self-imposed rules which guide my photoshoots
-
photos are taken with my iPhone on the Fyansford Riverside estate.
-
photos are taken from public property (footpaths, parklands, streets or river banks). I encroach on a front garden only with owners' permission (e.g. close-ups of Lauren's imaginings).
-
I restrict myself to taking a single photo of each focal item.
-
The shoot is restricted to a circuit of one neighbourhood block (approx. 15 minutes).
-
On returning home I allow one hour for editing and posting of photos.
-
I minimise identification features (house numbers, number plates, etc.
-
If any member of my community would prefer a photo (relating to them in any way) to be withdrawn please let me know (Fyansford.com@gmail).com)
-
Photographs (not necesarily mine) which have been edited with humorous or distraction intent.
