Photographing Melbourne in 2018 – Happy New Year!!
Wishing you a Great New Year, a fun-filled 2018
Hope 2018 is treating all of you well enough in all respects!! As in every other year, this year also has the same set of seasons, except for global environmental change, which is making its impact more visible. However, the major change in my life is in my location. Yes, you read it right!! I moved from the neat and tidy city of Chandigarh (India), well known for its architecture and city plan, to the capital of Victoria, Melbourne (Australia). Indeed, these decisions are a bit difficult, but in this day and age, shifting career paths is quite a real thing. . .
Photographing Melbourne
The pursuit of creating good, well-composed images that truly represent the world I experience is an important goal for me this year. As I dived back into academics at Monash University (Caulfield Campus), I found much less time to carry my D800 for photographing Melbourne. Well, this is the side effect of a heavy professional kit; my new iPhone helped me keep up with photography, though in a different way. Melbourne presents wonderful views of the sunset, especially if you watch it at any of its beaches. City life, which looks quite busy, also offered some pleasant surprises. I often appreciate the way in which the city has blended art into its buildings and facades.
iPhone SE: My New Camera
While pursuing a Master of Interaction Design, my interactions with this beautiful city were initially limited to Monash University, whose buildings are quite beautiful. After getting into vacation, I got some time to explore more. Here are some of the images that I captured while photographing Melbourne using my little iPhone SE. You can also find them on my Instagram account, which I use more frequently for sharing. I am leaving you with the image gallery, and the link to follow me on Instagram is on the top-right of this website, with links to my other media streams.
