Sitting on the dock

Photography can be hard, but sometimes, a little perseverance pays off. This photo from the weekend was taken with my phone, the camera itself propped up against a seat and with a 10 second timer so I can lean forwards, then hastily shuffle back into what I hope will be a good position before it clicks. Getting the tents in the background was the ideal.

To make things trickier, there was a bright blue portaloo to one side in the background and a farmhouse at the other side. Getting it framed just right was tricky. I took quite a few in the hopes that one of them would be good and I am so, so pleased with this one! It even shows the buttons all the way up my arm and I look for all the world like I've been sitting there contemplating something and not scrambling to arrange my dress in less than ten seconds.

I really love this photo. My definite favourite from the weekend!

I love it too! I have a heap taken by myself and quite a few taken by my friend who came down to the jetty to help. Hers have gorgeous skies reflected in the water but I really love the way I accidentally got my buttons!
