Clouds help me line my shot

Wynnard Quarter (Auckland, 2014) 

Whenever I take landscapes or just photographs that feature skies, I always try to get the clouds to line up in the framing. I guess that's one of the piece of advice that Reimund Zunde (my mentor) taught me that has stuck with me till today (ALWAYS line up your shots! - Rei)

Street photograph of waiting cyclist on Chapel Street, Melbourne, Australia. 

Shot in 2013 on the NIkon D3 at f11, 28mm

I have always enjoyed shooting cyclists in the city. Different styles, different riders. Never the same.

If you go down this way...(Flinders St, 2012)

Shot with the Canon 300mm L f4 lens on Flinders Street, Melbourne

Initially wanted to do a diptych, but it looks better on its own, with its twin of course ;)

Hope you like them

Best, 

Elyas

Overloaded: White Night Melbourne 2014

Taken during White Night Melbourne 2014. Didn't photograph much due to the fact it was overcrowded with people. Was still fun though. Hope it gets better next year. Shot in black and white because I got bored seeing WNM in colour. Hahaha. 

Best, Elyas

Youth

Spring in his step. (Melbourne, 2012)

From my window.

Am guilty for not posting enough over here. Still working out the kinks how I would like everything to be displayed. (What with Facebook, Pinterest and this blog itself)

So, for an updated feed of my pictures, just add me over on Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/elyas.e (subscribe/add as a friend, I wouldn't mind.)

But just to motivate myself - here are some pictures I took from my window the other day. Being in Melbourne, you don't get to see much lightning. And when you do, its bound to be a spectacle.

Looks like God had some fun doing some light painting :)

Best,
Elyas.

I'm in someone's bedroom.

Really, I am.

Client sent me a picture of her guest room in which my pictures were displayed. I have to say the framing really accentuates the photographs. Really proud to see it being displayed in such a glamorous way. Hope you like it as well.

(These prints are from my limited collection, only 5 sets made. Thumbnails will be uploaded shortly to give you a better view)

Much love.

The Canon EOS Photo5, part deux.

And so the Canon EOS Photo5 came and went. Unfortunately, I was not short-listed, but the experience was amazing. Would certainly join something like this again. It gave me a few shots that I would certainly include as a series to my growing portfolio. It also gave me a few ideas for new projects and collaborations. (Yes, am waiting for your pics Norman Tang!) 

Anyway, without further adieu, I present my other four submissions. (First one was here)

Thank you Dmitriy Ozerov, Adarsh Man Serchan and Lindsey Abot.

 Funny way of powdering your nose, dear. (Fast Shutter x Powder)

The Canon EOS Photo5

The EOS Photo5 is Canon Australia's annual photography competition, where one has to fulfil 5 individual briefs. As it was my first time, I decided to give it a shot (no pun intended). First brief was aptly titled, "Through A Pet's Eyes" and I was fortunate enough to have taken this shot. It's my take on the view of a cat, its long sightedness (they are! try putting a piece of meat in front of them, FAIL.), its view of the feet of humans, and the interaction between one another that we always see them do.

This was titled "Hello. What do you have over there?"
