Knock, knock.. An image from around the time I last visited these hallowed halls of photographic community. Captured late November of 2020.
I have been very 'inward' I guess is the best way I can describe my being since then. September '21 to not quite a year ago I had the great good fortune to spend just over six months on the Wildlife Sanctuary documenting in still and moving image forms the flora and fauna of that amazing place. I managed to capture some incredibly intimate details of a Little Eagle family as they reared their sole bubba, and it learnt to fly, when they all left the nest. They then proceed to stay in the vicinty, but are not a nest based bird species, apart from at breeding and fledgling raising time.
Since returning to the big smoke almost eleven months ago I have been living a very simple and light impact life, focusing on my wellness of living with CPTSD. The Boof (Fenna) is doing well and is still a huge part of my life.
The voluntary Mindful Photography groups I had held until Rona came visiting have fallen by the wayside, apart from one that has resurrected itself and become what I wanted for them all; in that it is a self-directed entity, run and shaped by the participants! The photographic gear I had collected along the way has been passed on to members of the group and they have had a few exhibitions since they reformed mid last year.
I now live on the opposite side of town from this group and am establishing a simpler form of group in conjunction with a local mental health community centre based on the International Club House model; this group will just use their own mobile phones or cameras if they have them, and should launch mid-year.
Here's to hoping that you've all been traveling well through these times I was away, and that you all still get as much benefit, enjoyment and awe from sticking a viewfinder to your eye, or framing up a shot with your phone. 👍
The following image is much more representative of where my own photography has headed. Telling visual narratives through use of caricatures in places of abandon, decrepitude and ruin. It's something I am slowly exploring the ability to have a social narrative within, and is something I am absolutely loving the processes of from initial inspiration and planning of lighting, posing, costuming, and prop's to the actual capture and presentation of them.
This image was captured at a small stadium styled church that sat maybe 500 members of their faith in an almost fully surrounding audience style. It has recently been bulldozed in readiness for a new development of unknown type in a highly desirable location just out of the CBD.

Well, HELLO, Alex, and welcome home!!! You have been missed.....so nice to see you here again!
Delightful as ever @mollyc
A fabulous glimpse of spring and in all her vigour, with the most glorious light to convey that! Autumn's somewhere around the corner for us, still the odd 31/32C days here..
Wonderfully awe inspiring; we had some reach us recently in areas that normally never see them this far north due to a combination of atmospherics and solar flares! Not that I captured any or saw them personally..
R6, Tokina 16-28mm @ f/2.8, 1250 ISO, 4-second exposure.
PP with DXO Photolab and the NIK apps.
I'm absolutely loving the composition of this, and how those clouds are in their own subtle way mimicking the rocks in reverse!
Be still my beating heart, those eyes!
The scale and form of these are sublime with that subdued but dramatic lighting and the perfectly placed and silhouetted human form! I could stare at this for days..
Thank you so much, @Clix Pix Whilst I have been more than happy in my own company, there's still from prowling around this forum again just now for the last while a special sense of supportive community here that admires and enjoys the photographic form. It's good to be back again. And, it's lovely to see so many of you still here, sharing and commenting so regularly.
A delightful rendering of colour and light, you'd have to be happy with that as a result?! The sign in the background made me chuckle..Night Out

Ah, I did not notice the sign in the background until post.
You have had quite a journey.

It was cut down since I was last at this particular preserve. Many old trees were gone because of tropical storm damage over the last year.
More Spring.
