Energize Your Creativity by fHphoto

Don’t know about you, but I sometimes hit a dead spot. Browsing through my Lightroom catalogues and I see nothing of interests, everything looks boring and tired. Even though I know I’ve got some brilliant photos in there, I just can’t be bothered…

This is what I call a Dead Spot.

Instead of taking on addictive drugs or binge drinking (which I already do on a regular basis), I go to the zoo.

Yes, to the zoo.

Why a zoo you ask? Well, I love furry animals for a start, such as the Red Panda, and the Koalas, they are just so cute!! I feel when I am at the zoo, my camera comes up to my eye and I click the shutter without overthinking, I don’t think about the lighting or the composition, I hit that shutter because the animal is cute and I want a photo of it.

Subconsciously, however, my mind do take into account the lighting and the composition.

I also only take a single prime lens for the whole day, this not only means I have to zoom with my feet but also let go of situations where my lens won’t reach. Sometimes its hard to let go and instead of taking a photograph, I just lean back and enjoy the memory.

All taken with a 135mm f2 at The Australia Zoo.

Crickey!!

Possums are fairly common in the suburbs, but they are more like a super fierce cat if you try to go near them.

Red Panda is my absolute favourite animal, must go back again when its not sleeping.

10.

Just like a baby, except with sharp claws.

There is no wonder why 135mm f2 is such a popular lens.

Out for a walk.

The three musketeers poses for the camera.
